Several of my pheasant eggs were pipped when I got up this morning and so far no more progress. This is my first time with pheasants and I'm wondering if that's normal or if I should be getting worried. I don't wan't to open the incubator door and let out any moisture to help some out, but I also don't want to wait too long and have them die. How long should I give them? I'm used to my quail and they're fast from start to finish. This is making me nervous.

We've had success today. When we got home from church several had hatched and more are pipping and zipping. Below are some pictures.

My pheasant eggs are taking a long time to work on there zip and it’s been 26 days but all 3 are tweeting and made a hole. I’m used to quail eggs and chicken eggs they zip really fast but these ring neck pheasants are weird and one of my pheasant eggs is starting to zip right in the middle of the egg some of the white stuff in side of the shell was dry so I put a really tiny amount on it so it will soften up a little.
