Pheasant eggs

[Dirtygurty]

Hi guys I know the general rule of thumb is never help chicks out but is there something I can do to make things more likely to survive i have two pheasant eggs both pipped over 24 hours ago but don’t seem to of made any more progress they are alive tapping and chirping but nothing has moved on at all I wasn’t expecting the eggs so had to get incubator quick and not at all sure about it’s quality as far as humidity I can see blood thro the hole and membrane looks dry apart from this I’m resisting urge to do anything so far but is there something? Or just leave them they are day 30

Pheasant people come over here and help. if they're shrink-wrapped they probably won't be able to make it out on their own you might need to chip away a little bit of the shell around the PIP area to make sure that there's not active blood veins, if there's not you might be able to assist hatch I don't have the link, but you can look it up and byc pages will be on Google. Just look up guide to assist hatching from backyard chickens.

I would give them a little more time because it usually takes chicks 24 hours of rest before they zip

This has very valuable info on assisting with the hatching process!

My husband was wind rowing the field and when they came around the next row they saw they had killed a mama and her nest had 13 undamaged eggs. they collected them and straight away put them in the incubator, I did candle and all had air sacs and veins. I have no idea how long they are into hatch cycle. My son found them watching in the wind rower so he is more than excited. I'm not sure what to do with them besides chicken settings? I had 12 eggs in there already but added them. Crossing fingers 1 hatches for him, he will be devastated. He wants to sell his calf to pay for his babies things lol

You should look up pheasant incubation and compare the eggs to pictures of pheasant eggs already in incubation to see how far along they are , I hope one hatches for you guys!

I will do that now. Skyler is so excited! He will be crushed if nothing hatches. I don't know why I didn't think of doing that lol
