Ok where to start....
Today I noticed a dead female pheasant in the road next to my driveway, was not there yesterday. While burning the ditch I found a nest with 14 eggs in it.. There were feathers everywhere around the nest, so I think something killed the female during the night and drug her out into the road.. Three of the eggs were cracked, so I opened them up and they were just barely starting to vein.
So I have 11 eggs in the incubator: I set the temp at 99.5 and am working on the humidity.
What should the humidity be at during incubation?
Do I up the humidity during the hatch like chickens?
Can I use the auto turner? It would be great if I could since I have to leave for 7 days in about a week.
What do the chicks eat?
Do they need special supplements?
If I can get them to hatch I plan on releasing them back to the wild.
Helpful tips and tricks would be great!! In exchange I will keep you all updated on if they hatch or not
Thank you soooo much!!
