I think some breeds are harder to hatch than others.
I really hate that about the pheasant. I'm not sure what to do for lice. I think some breeds are harder to hatch than others. My wife has Cuckoo Marans, and they hatch like crazy. The lavender orpingtons almost never hatch in the same incubator.

Great news! Good luck on the rest.Two babies have hatched so far! Last night, I saw 7 eggs were pipping. Because these two babies hatched during the night, I wasn't able to take them out before they moved around the other eggs, but they didn't seem to make too much of a mess.
