Welp hi y’all. Let’s have a hatch-a-long with some peafowl whatcha guys think? These guys are on day 20! Wow I just checked my calendar. I got these guys from a friend of a friends, and I have no idea what breed they are. Pied or not. Guesses on when they’ll hatch? They seem pretty close.

I had to candle ‘em under a blanket which just gives it more enthusiasm

I'd say at least 3-4 days before the hatch. Maybe more like a week! Or two weeks at the most

Well that’s earlier than I was thinking I might have to put them on lockdown a day early. Maybe two!

Okay, I decided to put them in lockdown this morning. They look like they are about 2 days from internally pipping, and I didn’t want to risk anything

I was also wondering what kind they might hatch out as? The eggs are a light brown. I know Green Peahens usually lay nearly white eggs, but I just read that and I’m not sure if it’s true or not.

How are they doing?

How are they doing?

Both have internally pipped! We should be seeing some chicks in the next few days

 

[casportpony]

Very excited for you!

I’ve also figured out that they are Green Peafowl, which makes me a bit more excited

I'd be so scared to lose them I'd give them safety holes.
