Great news, hope they hatch for you. For anyone with yearling peahens best to keep with older peacocks (2 yr or older) most dont lay untill 2yr but just a few will lay.

Most 2yr old india peacock will be fertile also.

They sometimes won't sit until they get a clutch. It's up to you if you want to take it or leave it. If you take it she will keep laying eggs while if you let her keep it she will only lay until she gets a clutch to hatch.

My peahen has left an egg alone for almost 48 hours now. I'll let her do what she wants. If she keeps laying to the point the nest is full and she won't sit I will probably just take the eggs.
