ok....back to basics.....temps & moisture

[critters]

a neighbor has too many pheasant eggs and has offered the extra to me....
(he by the way has 3 incubators full)
I have had good luck with my guinea, chicken and duck eggs that I have
incubated but have never incubated pheasant eggs.....

he uses an egg turner, I like to hand turn....things like this...

what temp do I need my bator?
what humidity during incubation? during lockdown?
how many times a day do I need to turn?
how long do they incubate?
basics....are they just like guinea eggs?? he says yes...

I am gratefull for and delighted to get the eggs but
don't believe everything he says....

so will someone set me straight...

23 days incubation at 99.5 degrees
humidity at 45% and at hatch/lockdown increase to 65%....

What type of pheasant eggs have you ?
The various species have different incubation times from 23 to 28 days.
45 sounds right and 65 for lockdown is what i use.

Yes the information is correct and you need to turn them at least 4 times a day. It's easier if you get the automatic turners then you don't have to worry about you physically turning them. Stop turning them 3 day before hatching and make sure you have them on papertowels or something they can get there footing on and not slide around.
Good Luck
