After 2 1 day of incubator or brooding hens, chicks are hatched. Incubation temperature in incubator is basically constant at 37.8℃, which can be slightly higher in the early stage, but not higher than 38℃, and slightly lower in the later stage, but not lower than 37℃. Embryos grow rapidly in the later stage, and the incubation temperature can be appropriately reduced.

During the incubation process, the egg tray tilts 45 degrees every 2 hours. On the fifth day of incubation, 18 days and 19 days, the eggs were tested for the first time, and the eggs without sperm were picked out, and the eggs with stillbirth were picked out for the second time. After the last egg test, they were directly placed on the tray. Sporadic chickens will hatch in the afternoon of the 20th day, and a large number of chickens will hatch in the morning of 2 1 day, and the hatching in the afternoon will basically end.

Matters needing attention in pheasant hatching

It should be noted that when collecting wild eggs, eggs that are too big, too small and too sharp, as well as eggs with damaged eggshells and sand spots, should be removed in time. Disinfect for the first time after collection. Formalin and potassium permanganate are generally used for disinfection.

The storage period of eggs is 7 days in spring and 5 days in summer, but the longest in spring is no more than 15 days. The storage point should be kept ventilated and dry, and the suitable temperature is about 18 degrees and the humidity is 70%. When stored, the big head is facing up, and the eggs are turned twice a day for more than five days to avoid the adhesion of the contents of the eggs and affect the eggshell rate.

In the process of incubation, the incubation rate is low. In order to improve the hatching rate of wild eggs, large pheasant farms generally adopt machine hatching. However, for some small-scale pheasant farmers, because the number of eggs is small, it is not economical to hatch by machine, so artificial incubation is adopted.
