Ughhhh wish I was good at hatching I wanna hatch some button quail some peacocks some call ducks some east indies...EVERYTHING but alas I don't know how or where I would find those

Some hatcheries sell hatching eggs. Breeders, egg auctions, ads, poultry groups...these are a few places one can search for eggs. However, honing your hatching skills with inexpensive eggs is a more frugal way to start until you have more experience and confidence. It also gives a person more time to assess your growing flock and their needs.

Well if we are gonna talk about needs I need every bird that exists and some dodo birds running around but that’s a little uh- hard

Peafowl are difficult to hatch in an incubator. A lot of people use a broody chicken with better results. You might be able to find a local breeder when in season. I did not have luck with shipped peafowl eggs in an incubator. Even with temp and humidity on point. A very expensive lesson but I did learn from it lol
