Hatching Pheasant eggs
Posted: Tue Apr 14, 2009 1:56 pm
Hi
I have just been given about a dozen pheasant eggs, some of which are from a breeding pair and some from wild pheasant hens who have been enticed over by the cock's early morning calling and just dropped eggs outside the enclosure.
I have put them all into the incubator but I don't know if they are all fertilised or not, chucked in a few quail duck and chicken eggs too - while it's on and running might as well get the most from it - not one broody hen around this spring!
Anyway - my question was - does any one have any experience of pheasant egg hatching or even of keeping pheasant afterwards - my only experience is of plucking and cooking pheasant!
Thanks
Monika
