I believe the Egyptians were the first to start domesticating any wild fowl, the Chinese would be somewhere in that timeline too, as the first to start domesticating wild fowls....although peafowl were in India, they didn't domesticate them until after the Egyptians had been domesticating them for quite some time.
I'd be interested in reading about their incubating techniques, too! Can you point me in the correct direction to find this reading material?

As soon as my desktop computer is fixed I'll try to remember to dig out the article.

Ok thanks, you have 'peaked' my curiosity.

You could find most of what is in the article I have by searching on the net for ancient Egyptian incubation methods.

Found a few, interesting read...most interesting is they are still using those techniques, today!

 

[Shadrach]

Yeah, not much has changed.

 

[007Sean]

Yeah, not much has changed.

Yeah, and even more surprising is the 80% hatch rate using the ancient techniques.
Found some other articles while searching, documenting some of the things I've been saying for years but didn't have scientific studies to back up what I thought was true, via my observations. Now, i do!

It won't make any difference Sean. You can't beat subjectivism.
You can point at evidence, you can explain how and why something works, you can even demonstrate tings first hand but you can't make people believe what they don't want to.
I've told people I have a much better hatch rate using a broody hen and the right sort of nest; nope, they won't have it.

Yeah, your right about that....same goes for the ones that say, " if you don't have pictures, it didn't happen'.... pictures don't mean a thing nowdays... with photoshop, etc...who knows whether it's a legit photo or not!
