Cute peas! The one fanning looks like a black shoulder India Blue boy, the other one is an India Blue hen. One was born yellow?

Hello. I love this thread & have learned so much from it. I don't have much to contribute bc I'm super novice at hatching. Thank you to everyone who contributes!!!

W the cute pea photos, I was wondering: Are pea eggs tougher to hatch than chicken eggs? Do the pea eggs tolerate shipping similar to chicken eggs, or is it more like shipping goose eggs? I don't think I have proper housing for peas just yet, but they're on my wish list, so maybe eventually. All info appreciated. Thanks!!!

I am an incubating novice, but many peafowl breeders will tell you that getting shipped eggs to hatch is tricky. What they do say is that eggs that don't ship too far seem to do better.

Thanks for the info! Sounds like some of the bigger eggs r less tolerant of shipping. When it's time, will just have to find some locally.

That, or buy some chicks, maybe do both?

It might be hazardous to my poultry math, but will definitely check those out

Hey Sally so glad to see you on here with awesome research as well.
Hope all is well with you.

Wondering if HarmonyAnn is still selling Serama eggs ? I'm looking for some, let me know when you can.

Going through some medical issues myself with thyroid and them not knowing what else is wrong. I'm miserable, my chicks are only thing helping. Everything else sucks including weather.

Thanks for all you do!
