Bloadpheasants in Belgium, their eggs and incubation
Bloadpheasants breed in the spring in Belgium, the clutch of 5-12 eggs per hen, taking from 27/.../29 days of incubation to hatch.
The eggs, avering 50x32 mm, are extremely variable in coloring and pattern, ranging from light buff with minute spots to orange buff with large dark brown blotches.
We do incubate the Bloadpheasant eggs together with grouse and tragopan eggs in Grumbach Compact S84 forced-air incubators, which works out fine at ambient temperatures of 37.7 degrees Celsius, and at 48% relative humidity.
The eggs may also be incubated by a broody hen, and hatched in an incubator.
