Just from the reading I have been doing the last couple of days.
The exact details vary depending on what type of Pheasant, but for general purposes temp and humidity are close to that needed for chicken eggs. hatch time is longer and can be as much as 28 days. This is the one that varies the most. turning and all that is exactly the same as well as the rules concerning lock down. here is a lonk to a chart with some basic info I swipped from another post.

Same thing as Lockdown only you have more room.

Good luck candling, the pheasant eggs shell is twice the thickness as a chicken egg.

SORRY RANDY, I GOT TICKLED AT THAT...

in my exposure here i have picked up on a term many folks use--- LOCKDOWN (with or without the extra room- lol) is when they stop turning the eggs the last 3 days and bump up himidity preparing for hatch.
