I just candled it and it appears to have two air bubbles, one of which moves freely... I can assume this isn't suppose to be there.
I don't think it's going to hatch. I placed it back under the hen, just incase, but I know that chicken eggs are usually packed tight come hatch day.
I just have the WORST luck when it comes to peafowl! Hubby tried to confort asking "Do you think it may be God telling you it's not time for us to have peafowl yet?" So I suppose this is my last attempt for a while. I get so hopeful everytime I get eggs.
First four eggs were placed under a broody. I let her out to dustbathe and upon returning to the nest, she stepped on an egg, broke, and ate it. I took the rest away and placed them in my incubator. One made it all the way to hatch and then died.
Bought an adult Emerauld Spalding pair, excited that they are adults and easier to keep and raise than eggs or chicks. Neglected to the point of no-return by the previous owner. The hen dies, I demand my money back and return both the dead hen and the dying cock.
Recieved four more eggs, placed them under a different hen, with it being her second time being broody. All four where developing beautifully and then the hen pooped on them. I washed them off with a cloth with warm water, I busted one. It had a baby pea in it, it died. Three eggs left, came back, the broody had eaten one. I excuse it as rotten and she finished it. A week later she eats another! Take the egg from her and gave it to the turkey. Held out hoping that this last egg with hatch, but upon candling, don't think it's suppose to have a mobile air bubble. -.-
