Chickens hatching peafowl

[Joey Currin]

Has anyone had any success with chicken hens hatching peafowl eggs? I have a setting hen and am receiving 6 peafowl eggs in the mail in the next couple of days. I am considering putting a couple under her and removing the sterile eggs from under her. She has just started to set. Anyone tried this with peafowl? Last year she hatched guineas for me. Thanks for your input, Joey

Yes, I have hatched about a dozen peacocks over the past year under bantam game hens. It's really no different than anything else with a broody hen, it's just a longer incubation time.

This is a old post, but I'm going to try this with a broody hen. Did ur hen accept the peacock or did u remove to brooder? Also, can u keep and make a peacock friendly and do they stay around? Will 2 males get along? I might just try my hand at it and see how it goes.
