Peacock or naked neck chick??? Please help

So what kind if eggs do peacocks have? Got 2 breeding pairs but no eggs?


Peahens lay a large (easily identifiable larger than chickens) creamy off white (or very light tan/pink) egg...

I'm getting lots of white eggs with tough shells but I found out they are duck eggs they are bigger the duck eggs! Y wouldn't my peacocks be breeding?
 
Where are you located cause breeding season for peafowl is pretty much over till next year.
Do you have all different kind of bird together and so you do not know what is laying what?

All of these are peafowl eggs from my whites pieds and blues

They can be about the same size as a duck egg but duck eggs are real smooth , to me duck eggs feel smooth like porcelain
my peafowl eggs have a kinda pointy end my duck eggs do not

How old are your peas? Have you seen eggs from them before? And what part of the country (or what country) are you in? Peas don't lay year 'round in the U.S., I dunno what they do in tropical countries. Somebody wrote from the Phillippines about a hen laying just the other day, but I think most hens in the U.S. have been done for awhile, months even, and won't start back until spring.

An easier question for the OP are your peacocks in full train (tail) displaying (raising and fanning it out) and strutting their stuff for the girls? If the answer is no it's not breeding season, the males are sterile and you won't be getting any eggs...
 
Your peafowl might not have been old enough this year. A peacock usually matures at 2-3 years old and a peahen usually matures at 2 years old. I have been sold adult hens several times to find out they were just yearling hens, so not breeding age yet. Some people have yearling hens lay eggs. My young hens never would. I am pretty sure no matter where you live, even if it is a tropical jungle, your peafowl will always have 1 time of the year that they will lay eggs. peafowl are not that domesticated so they still do not lay all year round. I think in tropical regions they lay eggs durring the monsoon season when plants and bugs are plentiful for them to feed their young. They always have chicks durring the most plentiful time of the year. In the US this time is in the Spring and Summer. once the peacocks shed their train feathers, breeding season is over. I wish peafowl had colorful eggs, but they just lay creme or ivory colored eggs and sometimes the eggs are speckled.
