    Pheasant chicks dropping like flies!! Help!!

    I had the same prob when I started hatching pheasants and used pine shavings. They were eating it and not food. After 2-4 days they were dying. Used hay, straw,or rags and it will be fine. Haven't lost one since.

    Any time I try below 60% humidity at hatch I get shrink wrap and dead chicks. Over 75% I drown them or they get sticky glue on the chicks and they suffocate.
