[SDpeafowl]

Can anyone tell me what the humidity should be for peafowl during incubation time and during hatching time.
Thanks

Yes, Too high humidity. The chicks will drown after pipping and die.Relative humidityshoud be 40-45 % for the first 25 days and about 60% for the last 3 days.

Have you candled them? I would think that if their air cell looks like this, you *might* be okay, but I'm a novice at incubating eggs.

I'm hatching eggs as well and I'm having trouble finding pictures of what the eggs should look like at day 18 with candling. Can anyone help??

this pic is from sat. So it would be day 14

Welcome to BYC !

I have some known good in the incubator that are at day 17, so I'll take a picture and post it later this evening.

I also have.some at day 14, so I'll include a pic of that as well.

If you see movement inside the egg then it is alive. If no movement then it is not.
