Incubator Question!

[ChickenKid11]

Ok so I am not looking at an Brinsea Octagon 20 Advance I was wondering if you have experience with this incubator hatching peafowl or if peafowl will even go in there?
Thanks!

I have the Brinsea Octago 20 Eco (which is just a cheaper version) and it works great for peafowl eggs. I can fit close to 15 eggs in at a time. I also have good hatch rates with it, all my hatches have been 75% rate and higher.
Hope that helps.

That help a ton the thing I am not sure of is the egg turners!! Will chicken egg turners hold peafowl eggs and successfully turn and hatch them?

Peafowl eggs are bigger than a chicken egg, so they most likely won't fit. If you get the Brinsea, you can get the automatic turner which turns the whole incubator instead of just the eggs. It's easier because you don't have to worry about the chicks getting hurt with the turner inside the incubator. The Brinsea Advance includes the turner but the Brinsea ECO does not.
Here is a link to the turner. Its a bit expensive but it works great!:
