Java Green Maticus / White Peachick just hatched

PS. If any one knows of anyone with any LATE eggs for sale, please let me know.
I think Lonesome would rather have another Peachick to grow up with?

Hi Gerald.
Yes, I did. Only 1 hatched. He/she is doing great except that I lost my last 2 eggs from a different batch that I was hoping would be her mates to grow up with.
Today I drilled a hole in the air cell because I wasn't able to see any movement for 2-3 days and knew something was wrong. It looked like her head was stuck under a leg and it couldn't pip through the shell. Very sad.
She was a White and now that leaves my other chick the last and only one. Now she is called Lonesome
I am writing on my iPad and it says something about the 'text editor' that I think BYC uses. Are my texts coming out ok?
Lonesome now only has 3 Guinea keets to grow up with. I am not sure how that is going to work?? They came with the Peachick eggs. I've never had them before. They remind me of a bunch of mice running around. I put them together today. Lonesome doesn't seem thrilled with the situation but so far everyone seems to be getting along ok.
Any, here I am with a lone Peachick and 3 keets. I think it more doubtful than not that I will be able to find any more viable Peachick eggs at this late date?

Carol,
Its gonna be hard to find good fertile eggs this time of year and I Would advise you to try and find some chicks maybe VIA craigslist? Im pretty sure I know where your eggs came from they have a couple of white hens and a very nice green rooster over them. Peafowl are so hard to hatch in an incubator and the difficulty gets worse with shipped eggs so, I am applauding you on what seems like a failure but, I note it as a success. Please keep us posted on the progress and remember, pics or it didnt happen,
