Today is day 28, I haven't heard peeping from the egg. Should I keep the egg in the incubator. I'm just worried that the chick may have died . The turkeys poults and guinea keets have already hatched but they were put in a day before I put in the peafowl egg.

Hi Everyone!
Does anyone on BYC know of any Peafowl breeders that sell hatching eggs. I'm look for pied, white and green. I don't want to take any chances on eBay peafowl eggs.
