I just came across the following text:
Humidity in the incubator should be between 45 and 50 percent and the temperature should be 95 F. Ringneck pheasants will begin hatching after 24 and a half days.

My
pheasant egs are in the same bator w/my chicken & duck eggs...therefore at 99.5 degrees...should I be concerned...i.e. do I need to put them in a seperate bator? Or, should I just expect them to hatch a day or 2 earlier?​
 
My only experiance with pheasants are the eggs from the nest my husband ran the swather over and killed the hen. I'm not sure what day they hatched on since I don't know how far along they were when I put them in my bator, but I had it at the same humidity and temps that I do my chickens at. Be sure you have a top for the brooder...those little boogers can jump like crazy from day one!!

Ok thank you Katy. I normally keep them in just a tote for the 1st week in doors, but I will put a piece of chicken wire over it for a lid. I've had to do that before for dog deterent.
