Incubators

[shelljf]

Is there a type of incubator that is better than another type for peafowl eggs?

I like the digital control and the automatic humidity pump control on the Brinsea.

I like the Hovabator with digital controls but since peahen eggs are so large you may need to get a turner that is big enough for turkey eggs.

RCom incubators are great for pea eggs, as are broody chickens.

Which RCOM do you have?

I’m using an RCom max 20 this year. It rolls the eggs 1x/hour. Last year I started pea eggs under broody Chickens and finished them in a brinsea 20 advance with a decent hatch rate. The turning cradle for the brinsea is very flimsy tho & I don’t really trust it for another season.

I use a rcom max 20 and love it.

I also have an RCOM, and I'm not sure how much I like it. .

Which one do u have? And what kind of issues do u run into with it?

I have the 20 max and I'm not 100% sure yet, but it seems like the eggs I put in these four corners always die. :


It also seems like I get a high number of malpositions, as did another person that has one.
