Hi, we aquired pheasant eggs 2 weeks ago after a local farmer accidently 'combined' the mother during harvest. Realising the eggs were about to hatch we put them in the incubator and 2 hours later 15 hatched out! So far, so good, problems began almost straight away, a quick look on the internet told us that we had to teach them to eat and drink, not too bad as we do that with chicks anyway, but these did not catch on quickly, fatalities were regular, they are 2 weeks now and we are down to 6! One had an eye infection, another couple just died etc. They are more agile than chicks and need a tall box with solid sides otherwise they are off, although we got them accidently and thought 'what luck' we probably would not have pheasants again as they are quite labour intensive in the first few days.
