Nice, thats a good hatch rate. They are so cute!

Very nice! Is there any specific reason why you don't let the Mother hatch them? I would feel terrible taking eggs from mine, and its so much easier when you let them hatch their own out I would think.

I don't think the lady I got the eggs from would let me borrow her hens.

Also, People pick up the eggs so the hen will keep laying. If you let her sit them, she will lay 4-6 and then go broody and stop laying. Pick them up and she keeps laying longer.

So true , and if you want the peahen to hatch eggs , let them hatch the 3rd clutch

Does the chick in the pic by itself look like a emerald? I know one of the dark ones is an IB.

 

[deerman]

looks like a IB , but spalding will be darker as they feather out.

I dont use keets as trainers because they constantly peck the peachicks beaks and eyes if the are white peachicks. Anyone else have this problem?
