I have the Turner. I still haven't even opened the box.:oops:
 
I have a serious question, y'all. One of my broodies usually takes her break in the middle of the day, with dark eggs should I candle them when she is off the nest around noon, or wait until dark and remove them from under her. I am getting anxious and we are at about the midway point in incubation. These eggs are pretty dark, FBCM and French Blue Coppers. Any ideas?
ETA: Kiki keeps showing candled eggs and now I want to know how mine are progressing, didn't candle with broody hatching before, except at the end to make sure the unhatched were not going to hatch. :barnie

I say sneak a peek when she gets up today and sneak another peek tonight! :eek::celebrate
 
She got up today already and is back on the nest, that's why I am pretty sure she gets off around noon, cause after keeping track that seems to be her pattern. Will try both hens tonight. Thank you, even if this is your fault!!! :barnie :hugs

@casportpony do peafowl have a specific laying season? I would like to know when my best chances of finding wild peafowl nests/eggs are.

Yes. Some start as early as March, but I think most it's April or May. They stop laying July-October.

If the eggs are really dark, you may not be able to candle them. I had an EE egg that had a particularly thick coat of color on it and I couldn't see a thing.
