New to hatching Peafowl eggs--Help!

okiedrifter
I have alway hatched my eggs in trays with the little end down and have never hand turn a egg ever. Last week 21 out of 22 eggs hatched the week before 17 out of 17 eggs. My incubator turn the eggs ever hour tem at 99.5 humidity 50% I leave the eggs in the incubator till they are ready to hatch than move to the hatcher temp and humidity the same as the incubator too much humidity can drown the chick. The trick to hatching peafowl is to have a good incubator that you can control the temp and humidity. Iwould leave them and let the turner turn the eggs sound like they are doing good.

I was wondering about your temps because you said it was like 105 where you live, cooling coil makes sense. What is the capacity?

I am new to this forum so if I have this message in the wrong spot forgive me I will get the hang of it......LOL

I am very new at incubating peafowl and need some information please.

I have 3 peafowl eggs in the bator now and can hear some chirping but nothing happening. Is this normal? I have read about any and everything on this world wide internet and have came up to thousands of different answers. I would like to hear from a real person that has gone thru this personally. Can anyone help me?

Mine started chirping before they ever started pipping. I was about to panic before I actually saw a pipped spot. After that, they hatched out by themselves. It did take some of them upto 26 hours to hatch once they started pipping.

When do y'all stop turning them? I'm hatching shipped peacock eggs for my ncle and 4 look good out of 9. They are IB peacocks. I heard you stop turning when you hear them chirping. Is that true?
