New to hatching Peafowl.

[GoosesGeeses]

I don't know much about these awesome birds, but something that annoys me is that people say: " Hey, look, peaCOCK eggs!". Anyway, i got my hands onto 2 peaFOWL eggs, and i have lots of experience hatching birds, i have hatched somewhere around 1,500 quail, 100 chickens, 40-50 ducks, and 25 geese. But i have never hatched peafowl. I hear they are notoriously hard to hatch, so any help and tips are appreciated. I have a Brinsea Maxi 24 Advance if that helps.

Good post! You have done your homework.

Are they difficult to hatch? I heard that geese are hard to hatch, but i usually have a 90 percent hatch rate. My first goose hatch was 100 percent. 9 out of 9

I think there is more luck than skill when you have a successful hatch.
