Cool! I incubate mine like chicken eggs, mine are around 30 % humidity. I candled mine on day 5 and could see development. I am trying to remember to turn mine 2 or 3 times a day. I have gotten a bit lazy about it : )

I don't seem to be able to hatch any shipped eggs unless they are shipped from nearby : ( I don't think pea eggs are that hard to hatch... incubate them like chicken eggs but on their side. I hatched 4 last year. The eggs I got locally are black shoulder or india blue and I was hoping for...

I went to put it in the hatcher with the duck eggs I took out from under the broody turkey tonight (danger) and candled it and it had already quit. So sad, it looks like it just died today. It was totally malpositioned and had quite the weird air cell. So zip on all the shipped peafowl...

for your turkey eggs. I had six and were 3 super late quitters but 3 hatched and look good. I still have my one shipped peafowl egg and about 22 duck eggs that are on day 25... Oh how I want that peafowl to hatch!! I did get 4 more eggs last week and looks like 3 are fertile and developing!

I hatched a couple quail and about 9 Seramas. I had moved the eggs to the hatcher but heard something from the incubator this morning. I thought it was strange but forgot about it. I looked in there to turn some eggs and there was a little Serama that I had forgotten to move to the hatcher...

Seriously, now I want to hatch Silkies again...

Good luck with your first hatch! I don't have a Brinsea, but after all the hatches I have done, I no longer worry about keeping the humidity really high ALL through lockdown.. I think you most need a bit higher humidity as the first pips appear until the first chicks hatch because then they...

I have a few quail eggs about ready to hatch and a lot of Serama eggs! My 22 duck eggs look good for next week and 1 of the 2 first peafowl eggs should hatch at the same time. It has a really wonky air cell, but I can see that baby moving in there so hopefully...hopefully... Only 1 of the...

So cool, white duck eggs are so amazing to candle, you can just about see everything! My purple peafowl eggs came today and they look great! They sent an extra which was very generous. The air cells are so small they don't even look detached so I am excited. I am just going to see how far...

Sorry about your hens... what kind of hens were they? That is crazy that they lay such giant eggs. I just lost my favorite little frizzled Serama hen last month. She was my roo's favorite and as more and more hens went broody I guess it was too much for her : ( I especially feel sad...

I actually waited till day 7 to candle my peafowl eggs... a first for me for eggs that I have purchased ; ) I guess I have just been too busy to fuss with them. Anyhoo, one is totally scrambled but the other has a nice big embryo! Good thing I bought more eggs, right? They should come...

Sweet!

That is great! I made one like this, with the chicken trigger! It is fun to watch them hit the trigger for food and I like that it is rodent proof. I think our cats take care of any rodent problems but I don't want to be feeding extra critters because the food is out in the chicken yard.

Turkeys are a handful ; ) I actually just hatched my first one a couple days ago. I had 5 eggs that made it to lockdown and this was the only one that made it! I think my humidity was too high. It has some Seramas to keep it company but I have yet to see it eat anything, it is almost like it...

It's weird, I am actually using self restraint this time with my shipped eggs. I have barely touched them. I will admit that in the past, with certain eggs I was nervous about hatching, that I kept checking that they were still alive until I killed them by bothering them too much. Self...

Chicken stories are great. I hope your eggs are fertile, I bet they are. I love that you hatched your first chickens!

That is awesome!!! I really want to hatch some Turkens... just because they are such cute babies! I have seen some mini Turkens online that I might have to try!

I am so glad to be on this thread, is is really going to help me keep track of the days! I read the shipped eggs article too and while I try to get local eggs whenever I can and I have not had a lot of success with shipped eggs, I keep trying! Ah the eternal optimist, spending money on...

I just set two shipped peafowl eggs... impulse buy... and I'm setting a bunch of duck eggs today! I have another broody hen that wants some eggs!
