I have 12 ringneck pheasant eggs, placed in a still air lg on 5/31. I have been turning three to five times a day, temp and humidity have been steady and within parameters. I've tried candling, I can't see anything! The eggs are darkish brown and since seeing veining at the beginning all I've seen is air sacs and dark shadows, no movement yet. I think I am on day 17 (since I set the eggs in the morning on the 31st) So...just to check....
I should stop turning on day 20?
I should increase humidity to 70-80 the last three days?
Should I change the temp at all (been 99.6-101)
Should I put something over the wire in the incubator the last three days for the hatch?
Should I worry that I haven't been able to candle? Will an egg 'weep' if its turned bad? When might I be able to hear peeps or see the egg moving if I'm lucky enough to have some eggs that have developed?
Sorry for all the questions! So nervous!
Thanks!!!!!
