Yay yay yay! Team hatch again next year!

will see if I struggle getting rid of these babies I have now and hopefully ones to hatch. So far I have only listed Ditzy's babies (think 2 roos) and no luck yet.

@casportpony @KsKingBee this is my official S.O.S. call.

I have some peafowl eggs en route to incubate. I have now suddenly worked myself up into a minor panic after reading everything I could find about peafowl egg incubation. LOL

I want to make sure I do everything I can for a successful incubation. (Especially since they are going to have the added gamble from being shipped.)

I see the 2 of you as peafowl pros... so if you have *any* advice or tips, I would really appreciate it. Eggs should arrive Friday. I read across several platforms that 45% humidity throughout incubation is generally the best... and to incubate the eggs at a 45° angle (???)

My incubator is the Nurture Right 360 and I have the peafowl egg turner tray to go into it. I keep 2 separate hydrometer/thermometers to monitor temp and humidity.

Thank you They aren't even here yet and I'm already worried. It's gonna be a loooong month.

Maybe ask for help/tips in the NR360 thread also! There may be some folks who have done peafowl eggs in that incubator and can tell you what worked/didn’t. Good luck!

Sold 4 of the spare boys. Not *really* enough to justify more hatching, but I'm going to set a broody in the next couple days anyway.

@Iluveggers what did you use to candle your eggs?

This candler from Amazon. It was a gift! It was plug-in only, which I wouldn’t like for candling outside, but I’m glad I didn’t have to worry about the batteries dying.
