Little Giant Incubator, Hatching Pea Fowl

[re5671]

if I candle my peacock eggs after how many days should I see something?

I have a lady at work who gives me her peacock eggs because she knows we have an incubator (this is our first time hatching)
they usually eat the eggs but she's up for letting us try to hatch them. I turn them 3 x a day and ,y heat is at 99.-100 and I have water in the water wells.

am I doing everything ok?
any suggestions?


am I better off putting the eggs under my Muscovy duck? and if they hatch will they be ok with the ducklings as peeps if I don't get to the barn for a few hours??

thanks

First off you need to change your text color,,almost impossible to read. After about 7 days you should easily see veining in the eggs if they are good and growing.Forget the duck as your settings in your bator and turning should yield positive results.

I tried using Muscovy ducks last year and didn't have much luck, so this year I'm going to try an incubator and broody chickens. As for raising them with ducks, I wouldn't, I think ducks are too messy and the peachicks health would likely suffer.
