Thanks Tony! Of 29 laid in a week only 15 showed full or partial development and seven of those hatched.

What are the chances that my young hens eggs (1st laying season) would be fertile right off the bat? We saved eggs for 7 days. Only have pips or chicks from day 6+. Was wondering about the first couple they laid.Thanks!!

Should I have the humidity at 70 even though I am still incubating eggs also?

I have 2 air vents open. 2 are still pluged off.

We put blinders on our Pheasants at 6 weeks old. That's about the time they start be cannibalistic. The hens usually do ok, so we put them mainly on the roosters.

I am incubating Ringneck Pheasant eggs, I am using a GQF sportsman. The last batch of eggs only 2 of 15 Hatched. I broke open the rest and most of the chicks inside were developed to the point that they had feathers but they seemed to have dies before they were fully developed. My Incubator is...

I was just being impatient! We had eggs yesterday!!!! :)

Have Ringnecks 5:1 ratio in 15x20 flight pens with 3x3 crates for each female giving 30% protein feed with oyster shell and I have ZERO eggs!! Temps are 75-80° day 40-50° night. Am I being impatient or is something missing? Thank you!!

Thank you Tony!! :)

Thank you James! They are in our basement so no breeze or drafts. I'll check out the link. Thanks again!!

Just one layer! Thank you!! That's what I thought but was told they were too cold. I just couldn't believe they were cold at those temps and conditions.

This is how they seem to sleep. They get up walk around, eat,drink and then huddle together.

Why do they sleep so close together? People on another site tell me they are too cold but the temp never changes. They are inside our house and not subject to drafts. We have two identical pens set up at 74 degrees. One pen moves while the others huddle and then vice versa. I've had people...

Hello everyone!! Are there any stickies or information other than what's provided in the BYC Learning Center that pertain directly to Northern Bobwhites? We currently have 150 5 week old chicks and I am needing all the help I can get. With so much conflicting info on the net I feel like the...
