I put in 12 eggs in the bator Friday. I have never hatched peas before and wanted to see what kind of hatches you guys get. These eggs were 3 days old for the oldest egg. Never shipped by the usps, I picked them up from a breeder that I know. All of her pens have 1-2 hens per cock. I put them in my Dickey's that I think could hatch a rock! Let me know what % y'all get from your own eggs.

Thanks

That what I read..lol

Got and broodees


I haven't a clue? Wish I did so I could help advise u

Did u candle them yet?
 
They need to be on their sides and hand turned at least 5x per day. That's all I know.
I plan on letting my peahen sit on them.
 
It's crazy, I have like 100 hens between chickens, guineas and turkeys and not 1 broody!!! I do pick up eggs a couple times a day. They have only been in the bator for 4 days so far, so candeling wouldn't do any good yet. I have my 2 cabinenet bators and hatcher full from March to August but never tried Pea's before and am really impatient with them because I am excited!

Thanks, Steve! Yes, the bators are full for sure! I was looking at my 2 cabinets and thinking, where the heck am I gonna fit these 12 pea eggs! I had to shuffle some 1st year smaller turkey eggs into a chicken tray to make room and take a few to the hatcher a couple days early to fit!
