Our first India Blue Peafowl eggs are hatching! One was out this morning and the other 2 eggs are pipping - hopefully they will be out when we get home tonight. Pics to follow

Congrats!
Hooray... baby pics! I wanna see!
Don't forget to post the pics when the hatch is over.
My eggs are on day #4, so it will be awhile for me - so, I'll be content to see pics of your chicks.

Sorry but I must be a tease... All 3 are out, one is dry and in the brooder, the other 2 just hatched and are still wet. I'll get the pics up tomorrow afternoon.

All look good and strong.

good job Steve!! I am getting ready to set 4 charcoal eggs, sure hope to hatch all males, as females never lay.

So where are the baby pics?!?

 

[Steve_of_sandspoultry]

Here they are, sorry for the delay. Moe, Larry and Curly

Actually I hope it's Mary, Larry and Cindy

LOL! Yeah, I hope it's Mary & Cindy too - if Moe & Curly are seriously what they're names will be!
Your peachicks are absolutely adorable.
Only 21 more days and hopefully I'll be the one sharing pics.
Thanks for sharing.

Our pea's don't really have any names except for this guy... Mr P. He was our first.

Beautiful!!
These eggs of mine better hatch or I'll be forced to spend $$ on buying live birds!
That picture is very eye-catching. The light brown background really brings out his colors.

Thanks,
I don't remember if that was early spring or late fall, I'm thinking it was spring as the leaves are gone. All our pens are set back in the woods so in the heat of the summer they get plenty of shade and lots of sun in the winter.

We ordered some Emerald Spaulding eggs and I was thinking the same thing, if they don't hatch I would have to order some chicks. The more I thought about it I ended up ordering both. The eggs are in the 'bator now and the chicks are supposed to ship mid June.
