    phesant hatching egg question

    When should I candle the eggs for the first time? I've hatched chickens before and usually do it on day 7 for the first time, but since it takes phesants longer to hatch, should I wait 10-11 days?

    phesant hatching egg question

    This will be my first time trying to incubate phesant eggs, any tips for a successful hatch. I have been told to keep my temp at 100 F in a forced air incubator but what should my humidity be?

I have 2 digital thermometers in my incubator that show the temp and humidity, my question is are these showing wet bulb humidity or the relative humidity? Here is a pic of the...

    Help please! What is wrong with these chicks that didn't hatch? PICS

    walkswithdog See thats the thing, when I opened them they were actually still alive! They moved a little and died within the 1st 5 minutes. So they were not already dead or been dead for days. Thats what makes it really wierd to me, and I thought maybe it was a disease or bacteria or something.

    Help please! What is wrong with these chicks that didn't hatch? PICS

    I understand about them having a yolk sac still and dying before hatch, or right after piping. I just don't understand why it is that dark nasty green color, i have never seen that before. The yolh is normally yellow to a orange color, not green.

    In the 1st and 3rd pics there is even more yolk under the chick you can't see. The 1st and 3rd pic is 1 chick, and the 2nd pic is another one. When I candled the eggs I did not see any movement, but when I opened them up both chicks were actually still alive and died shortly after. So I don't...
