Hi there @casportpony! if you dont mind a couple of questions... How many peafowl eggs does this hold? Also does it have automatic humidity control? and last, how is your hatch rate with this one? Thank you for responding!!

Wow!! Next time I found peacock eggs on our property I'll let you know. The man across the street from us has about 20 - 25 peacock and hens that free range. For some reason they come over to our property to lay their eggs. So I have to put a temporary fence up to keep my dogs out. What do you do with all the eggs?

Each rack holds 66 pea eggs, so 198 eggs. We do not put eggs on the bottom and we move eggs to a hatcher

You need two of these per rack, with one row cut off.

I do not use

I do.

 

[casportpony]

I do.

That is a typo. I was starting to type "I do not use the bottom, I just use the three racks."

I don't hatch in large quantities, but I have raised peas for a long time... however many years I've been with BYC. I also use Rcoms and really like them. Yes they do automatically control humidity. I get a nearly 100% hatch rate with fresh eggs, 99.5 temp and 60% humidity. Change any of the parameters and the hatch rate changes too.
