Quote: Only three hatched - they all look like red golden and the third one is struggling. He got shrink wrapped in the shell and I got him out this morning. The first two are doing great and bopping around the incubator. They are so much calmer than the first batch I hatched.

I hear peeping from my eggs that are due tomorrow. I'm very excited since when I went to lock everything down, 6 of the 7 chicken eggs had mysteriously died off. I now have a lone chicken chick (going to try and get him under my broody - she is a good mama) Hopefully most of these pheasant eggs...

Min e are due on Tuesday - I hope they are OK. I had 9 ameraucana eggs in there with them and 8 of them suddenly died off. The pheasant eggs still have live embryos though (from the few I candled). I also have 4 Iowa Blue eggs in there that still look good. I guess I will find out on Tuesday...

Quote: I rather like your brooders - how many pheasant chicks do you put in each one and how long do they stay?

Can't count them yet but the hubby picked up some more pheasant eggs at auction yesterday. We got 2 dozen all together. There are red golden, yellow golden and snowy eggs. I hope this hatch is as good as my last (9/12) or better.

Pheasants 3 + 9 = 12 That's all I will be in for unless I get some more eggs somewhere.

Quote: I don't think your too late . these birds lay so sporadic that I think will have a hatch along till spring is over These will be the only ones I will probably hatch this year because now I've got to wait for them to grow up

Well I was too early for the hatch-along but I got 9 out of 12 pheasants to hatch. I didn't think that was too bad for a first timer with pheasants They are doing well.
