Because my peafowl ruled the coop and then she went to a brooding attitude and hid under the nesting boxes and I didn't notice until I had hens standing around pecking on her. She has her own barn and pen to herself and continuing for at least 2 or 3 weeks. She will be by herself til her head is healed. I had no where to separate them til today anyway. Rather I let Thora eat my rooster or Colbolt eat my rooster, the water is outside and the food on the inside so I can't just lock the rooster outside because I would dehydrate my peafowl and starve my chickens. At least now I know peahens and chickens don't go good together.

First peachick hatched out tonight here and as I predicted over a month ago,it was from my BSSP pen. It has a black streak down it's back so it's either going to be a pied,or it might be from my Peach hen but that I highly doubt. Tomorrow will be first Merlot Hatch a-long day here. And it's a National Holiday too.

I got back from my trip yesterday and today I went to eat dinner with Aaron and then get the incubator with the Burmese eggs back from him. I just candled them when I got home, and I am afraid that both are no good!!! Egg # 1, which I set a day before egg # 2, seems to smell and at 10 days of incubation it is looking dark...Like dark as in hard to see the top dark.

Egg # 2 looks pretty much clear and I noticed that the air sack is messed up from shipping.

I was so hopping at least one would hatch for me.

So what do you all think? Do they sound bad? I am pretty sure they are no good the more I think about it...I guess I don't want to except that egg # 1 smells but it does have a slight smell to it and when I picked up the eggs from Aaron he said it had recently started to smell.

I knew I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up, but I really did!

Aww i am sorry i know you are bummed, mabe next time try for chicks
A smelly egg is bad, sure would not want it messing up your incubator, eggs musta been pretty old to smell so quickly.

Where do you guys buy these eggs and how much are they? I'm curious now.
