I haven’t hatched peafowl in years. I have 4 eggs in my still air incubator. Today is day 17. I’ve candled every few days since day 7 and I haven’t seen veins at all. The eggs are very hard to see through so I wasn’t too worried. But the development seems to have stopped. I can’t find any good...

Started with 21 days in incubator. Peachicks were still alive and bopping around when I candled them at day 21. Then placed them under my broody hen. They were due Tuesday. I’ve never had them go longer than 28 days when using the incubator. Today is day 30. Should I be concerned? What’s the...

I can’t seem to keep my incubator at 99.5. I can either keep it at 98 perfectly or 105. The SLIGHTEST touch to the temp knob makes it fluctuate horribly. I’ve been fighting it for 3 days. Is 98° going to be sufficient? I’m using the old fashioned thermometer that came with it. My battery one...

I'm guessing it is about 6-7 weeks old. I have 9 week old blue india chicks I'm asking for help sexing help with. (see prior post) I bought this guy from a feed store. The owner had no clue what color line it is. I am REALLY REALLY REALLY hoping for a solid white peacock. But it sounds like...

I hatched these guys in an incubator. They were born June 29th. They are almost 9 weeks old. We have never had peacocks before but are so super excited. We are REALLY hoping for at least one male.... of course, right? We bought the fertile eggs from a woman who had a solid white peacock, and 2...
