Welcome to BYC!

Wow, that's pretty warm, and I have no idea how to incubate in those temps. Have you seen this forum yet?

Maybe someone there will be able to help you?

Hi please advise for peafowl eggs i am using 50%-55% humidity for first 25 days then shifting eggs to hatcher where i raise the humidity to 65%-70% does this sound correct as a local who also hatches peafowl says humidity should be 80% during the whole 26-28 days of incubation please advise
