Paul Scholte, local game warden, reports the state game and fish department has provided an allotment of 200 pheasant eggs for setting. The eggs will be distributed to twenty farmers in the community for hatching and rearing.
State department instructions for handling English Ring Neck Pheasant eggs emphasize immediate chilling after receipt, placement under a light setting hen, and a crater nest on the ground with a flat bottom. Daily egg turning, dusting for lice, and careful nest maintenance prevent cooling and aid hatching. Hatch occurs in 23 to 24 days. After hatch, move hen and brood to a dry, grassy coop. feed regimens start with milk custard or finely grated eggs, then progress to grain and biscuit meal, with careful weaning. Place in a sunny, dry, predator-protected area away from barns. avoid incubators and brooders.
