This is my first year with peafowl. I have a 6 year old mated pair and two younger pairs. No eggs yet from the older pair. Does the hen only lay one clutch a year or does she lay several and when? How long is the incubation period? Do you recommend letting her hatch the eggs or incubating them?
This is super exciting to me. I can't wait to have peachicks.
 
Incubation is 28 to 30 days. Sometimes they will lay two clutches. I tried incubating mine and not 1 hatched. I set the rest that I had in the incubator under Golden Laced Cochin Bantams and one hatched this morning!!!!!!! I am soooo excited.

The ones I incubated developed but in the last few days something went wrong. Good luck to you and hopefully someone with more experience can chime in!
