success

[3forfree]

Thanks to all the advice I received here on byc about making an incubator, and what to do during the incubation period, I had 1 pheasant egg hatch early this morning. Some of the others have pipped, and hopfully more will be out and about. thanks again.

congratulations!! Isn't it wondeful when you finally have success at hatching

Only problem is~~its sooooo addictive

My diningroom is now a hatchery...3 incubators cover the table, and 2 brooders are underneath

Guess its a good thing we don't entertain much, and we usually eat on the front porch

You're not kidding, I keep my incubator on the pool table in the basement, the grandkids don't like it, but oh well. Now I'm going down there all the time instead of 3x a day to turn them. think I'll go down now. Thanks

Got 5 now, 4 hatched at the same time about 10am. Need to know if they will start to eat and drink on their own, or is there something I have to do. Thanks

Looks like there's only going to be 5 it's been 2 days since they've hatched, and the other 7 eggs haven't done anything.
