Incubating Peafowl Eggs...

Everyone, please ignore my advice, because my hatch rates are *horrible*, lol.

Hey Amy, how are ya? Just looked it up and it is the Brinsea Octagon 20.

That's why I am asking what people use to hatch their chickens at so I can see the difference. If you hatch your chickens at 50 as well as your peafowl, then I'd start with what I hatch my chickens at. But if you incubated your chickens at 40 and your peafowl at 50, then I'd probably start with a ten percent difference than I normally use.

I treat chickens like I do my peas. My concern is with hatching expensive birds so if I can get the best results for them I am not really concerned about a cheap chicken. We just ran a load of BCM and EE in the Brinsea set on 99.6* and 55% then hatched at 75% and whatever it spiked to during hatch. I can tell you that my wife freaked when she saw the temp in the hatcher was over 103*, we left the door open the rest of the night... Anyway, out of 198 eggs set we candled out 14 and had six or eight either drown in the shell, got stuck, or trampled.

What kind of Peacocks are you guys raising? We have an India blue hen, a Pied hen, and a Purple Blackshoulder hen. Our male is a gorgeous Purple Split so he's half India Blue, half Purple Blackshoulder but he has the coloring of the Purple Blackshoulder except for a streak of green and blue feathers down the middle of his back.
