Oh I am so confussed. Any way I got some big eggs to put under my broody and when they hatch they will think they are big
boo-dee-full chicks of some kind.

I think (and I could be wrong) that the correct terminology is "peafowl". Peahen is the girl, peacock is the boy.

At least that's what I've figured from looking them up.

I don't know how big the eggs are, or what type of bird you have sitting on them, but it would be hysterical to let a Silkie raise them!
