    Im trying not to cry ...

    Hi. Im not sure why I'm writing this. I guess Im just really sad. I was able to hatch one little (wild) pheasant out of a clutch of 8. He has flown the coop today. I know he is a wild animal. I keep telling myself that, and I did keep that in mind while caring for him- which is why I left...

    Sweating pheasant egg during hatching

    Yes- Its a pheasant chick. I started out with 8 eggs, and only one hatched. A farmer gave them to me. He had had them for a few days and said he knew the mother was gone.

    Sweating pheasant egg during hatching

    You're going to love it. If there was anything I could do different, I would have marked the eggs better. They were dark and hard to candle. So, when the one egg started to sweat, 3/4 of the way through incubation, and candling didnt work... I put it back and couldn't remember which one it...

    Sweating pheasant egg during hatching

    Its true what they say: "When in doubt take it out". I only had one of eight eggs hatch. Whether this is what happened I can't say for sure, I only know that in the end the egg was rotten. However, the chick that did hatch is very strong, healthy and noisy! It's been such a joy to raise it.

    Increased humidity too high?

    Ive had a rough go of it in the last 24hrs. Im working with wild pheasant eggs. Its my very first hatch- ever. Its been wonderful. 1 out of 8 so far. Its also been very stressful & the humidity is all over the place 48% - 77% (rh). Once it leveled out I had to just walk away.

    Sweating pheasant egg during hatching

    The shells are on the darker side. All I could see on day 20 was they had continued to grow from day 12. There was a very little drop on one egg on day 18, which I decided to ignore & it went away. Since then I've been checking for a foul odor and on the look out for a bad egg and there has...

    Sweating pheasant egg during hatching

    Oh boy... One of eight eggs have hatched. Its a great little chick, very loud, very strong, beautiful. Im in love. However, it looks like one of the remaining eggs is sweating. I've heard this could mean trouble and maybe explode. I need a firm hand here, and some good advice. Thank-you

    Hi! This hopefully will be my first Ringneck Pheasant hatch. I'm on day 22/23(24). Today I accidently knocked the incubator, the eggs rolled all over. They appear okay...
