Title: Pheasant hatching
Post by: doganjo on May 03, 2012, 02:54:29 pm

I am hatching some pheasant eggs for a friend.  I've tried candling them but they seem very dense - is there a special knack to it?  Anyone know how long they incubate for?    We set them on 13th April..

You could try putting the candler on the blunt end of the egg, that may give you a better look.
