Question

My yellow gold pheasants are laying now, but it gets down in the upper 30s at night and they're not sitting yet, are they OK?

Community Answer

Most likely, just make sure they have a source of heat at night.

Question

Can I refrigerate the eggs?

Community Answer

No. You should use a special incubator, because the fridge could damage the eggs.

Question

When incubating pheasant eggs, do I place the small end down and the large end up?

Ellie Field

Top Answerer

The air cell should be at the top of the egg, typically the small end down, the large end up.

Question

I've had my pheasant eggs in the incubator for 25 days, but they haven't hatched yet. What's wrong?

Community Answer

Pheasant eggs can take up to 28 days to hatch, so wait a few more days. Make sure you're turning the eggs and that the incubator is set to the right temperature and moisture level.

Question

A hen sat on her eggs for 6-7 days but has not gone near them for a week . Is it too late to put the eggs in an incubator?

Andrew Yance

Community Answer

It is too late to incubate the eggs. They have been with no heat for a week so the embryos will have died.
