26 or 28 days

[SuperPeacockman]

I wanted to know how many days it takes your peafowl to hatch. Mine always took 28 days until we got a GQF and I heard peeping a few days early. One had hatched almost completely in the turning rack

I wanted to know if how many days it takes for you guys. Incubation is one of the few areas I still dont have the hang of and I want to know more.

I never incubated any so no help here, sorry. One of the more experienced pea-people will know.

Edited to add: I've had Blue Andalusian chicks hatch out 2 days early, & my last hatch, which was Blue Orpingtons, I had a pip as I was moving them off the auto-turner & they hatched a day early, too! I have a Hovnabator.

I alway say 28 days, but looks like alot of people in the Southern State say 26 days.
One thing if incubator on the higher temp. could make eggs hatch early.

They certainly start hatching on day 26 in So. California

Same here- 26 days, does not matter how it was incubated. Chicken, peahen, incubator.

 

[Mrs. Fluffy Puffy]

I live in the Tx Panhandle ( Rolling Plains ), so 28 days? I'll probably be incubating them in a GQF. But might set them in my 1588.

26 to 28 days here way at the bottom of the boot of Louisiana!
