Ive had one Chukar pipped for 24 hrs now. Hes not looking in distress or anything, just hangin out really.. should i help him out? I tried once about 6 hours ago and there was a little blood in the membrane so i stopped and put him back.
I have 4 pheasants and 2 chukar that have cracked shells so far today
Total of 26 birds, 6 pipped so far! Ducks are trying to get through into the air cell now. They pheasants are pipping everywhere! i can sit there and see another egg and another egg pop up with cracks.. its awesome! just wondering how long theyre gonna take to hatch.
Had one little melanistic pheasant miss the air cell and pop his beak through the shell on the bottom half of the egg so hes a little upside down.. any thoughts on that one??
Here are 34 pheasant chicks that hatched and 14 valley quail. I was unable to get pictures of the hatching process from either sleeping or from being at work, but at least here is the end result.
