I'm looking for fully feathered pullets or hens. No hatchery birds! Text me 941-232-3872. I'm here until tues morning and would like to take a few home with me
I only ended up with one chick the rest never hatched! He is named Houdini because he miraculously gets out ALL the time! Good thing my dogs are well behaved or he would be a pheasant nugget!

I am so glad to hear this! I had my first pheasant hatch yesterday morning and no pips since! I was really worried but I might wait a few more days!
Yeah I believe I will use something else next time! I water tested and they all floated with maybe 30% out but it was the large end not the side that was out of the water. And I did crack one open to find an almost ready to hatch chick, already dead but maybe 1 day or less away from hatching! So...
I have an electronic thermometer that also measures humidity, I've used it to hatch chickens and it seems accurate. I will water test them and see what happens! Thanks for all your help I will try again! I just hope my one lonely ringneck lives!
Ok thanks so much! I candled at 7 days and all appeared well, I also had the humidity about 50-51 until yesterday. Is it normal for them to hatch so far apart? I read on a thread that you can water test the eggs but I don't want to move them yet!
Hello! I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I've got 12 pheasant eggs that were 24 days yesterday. I've had it set at 99.5 and 55% humidity. I had one chick hatch roughly 20 hours ago and so far no pips besides! Any ideas what's going on?

This was my very first hatch as well so im not sure but i would be patient im sure if you did everything you where supose to they will be just fine. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Thanks!! You too!!
Me too! I have ringneck pheasants set. And one hatched 12 hours ago and I've had nothing since! Is that normal?? This is my first time 'bating eggs! I've had everything perfect for what I read for pheasants and today is 24 days.
