    Got my first pea eggs!!!

    I was gathering my chicken eggs and I have 3 peafowl free ranging, and noticed 3 eggs in an old chicken nest in the loft of my barn, 2 hrs later there was 4. Can't decide whether to leave them and let the hen set or to grab them and stick them in the incubator. Hopefully she'll lay several more
