He's always showing off and after my hens
I have never incubated one and didnt know if you should so thats why the ?
I guess I will pop mthem in there and see what happens
How many days is incubation on them?

It should take about 28 days for them to hatch

, you should be able to candle in a week or two to see if they are good.

They are somewhat hard to get to hatch in a incubator but if its running why not. When i had peafowl i alway let them hatch there own but i separated the nesting one from the rest of the flock. They where always the best mothers.I hatched a emu last winter and i turned it everyday for it seemed like forever and gave up on it one day and a few days later i went to throw the eggs way and that little monster jumped out of the incubator.
