I move mine into a foam incubator that I use as a hatcher for the last 3 days. The humidity in there is 70-80%, so when I do open it, it only drops to about 55%, and rebounds quickly. The opening the door for fresh air I do during the first 24 days.

Personally I prefer letting fresh air in twice a day, even if I am not adding water. I didn't really get to use my new Sportsman for much this year, I set 1 batch of 4 eggs in it start to finish. Got 1 chick so 25% hatch rate, the others were done in the old foam hovabator, 75% hatch rate from...

3 of the 6 have definite development, the others I cannot tell for sure yet. Definitely recommend incubating point down for the first few days, seems to have really helped the loose air cells.

If you need them ask, there are several of us on here who regularly ship eggs. Just do a little research and understand the risks involved in shipping eggs. Good luck, I do hope they hatch for you.

Hold the wide end up really close to your ear and listen for a bit sometimes you can hear them tapping at the shell. Some will chirp back when you talk to them some remain very quiet. If you do not have any chicks by the 32nd day, you probably will not, I have seen stories where it did take 32...

Hold it up to your ear and talk to it, mine will usually answer me around day 25 -27. If they do, it means they have made the internal pip into the air cell and they should make the first pip of the shell soon. At this time it is important to raise the humidity as high as possible, I like mine...

Keep in mind Pied Peafowl do not breed true. So even if both parents are silver pied you still end up with a mix of chicks, most likely 25% white, 25% dark or blue pied, and 50% silver pied. Just so you are aware. When I incubate I set temp at 99.6, humidity at 50-60% for the first 24 days and...
