Hello
We have a pheasant in our nearby field which has been sitting on 12 eggs now for over 6 weeks. She seems in goo health but I don;t think the eggs are going to hatch and I am not sure what to do about it. Is there anything I can do.
Hi Ann,
I don't have direct experience of this but note that a forum user reported the same behaviour last year: Wild hen pheasant sat on eggs that haven't hatched
Unfortunately nobody could offer advice and there was no update to learn from, but I'm not sure what you could reasonably do other than let nature take its course. Presumably she is leaving occasionally to feed?
