Shipped eggs--are they worth it?
You don't sound like you like to gamble, and that is what shipping peaeggs is, a gamble. I sell eggs, cheaper than what you might expect, because it is a gamble on both the buyer and the seller. I advertise four for $100 plus $25 postage and then ship six because I KNOW they are not going to... -

Peafowl color. New owner

Shipped eggs
Good advice above :goodpost: If the eggs are going to go through the post service then definitely rest the eggs as recommended above AND do not turn for the first couple of days in the incubator. (point down) Also know that there is no guarantee of getting SP out of two SP parents. 25% White... -
2 Males together in Pen?

Importing Spalding pied peafowl to uk?
Pea eggs are far too fragile to ship that far. Even going a few states through the PO is a gamble, I expect that if only 10% survive to hatch that is a win, going through US quarantine which adds even more time is sure to ruin the chances of hatching. -
Importing Spalding pied peafowl to uk?
That is not lost on me, years of selective breeding, medicating, feeding, and losses add up, but my point was that they would not sell to me because they wanted to be a sole producer of high-end birds to export for major bucks and didn't want any competition or have these beautiful birds be... -
Importing Spalding pied peafowl to uk?
I had to do that here too, it took many years to get to where I am now. The breeders here were sending them overseas and wouldn't share here in the states, probably because they were afraid of competition. -
