Peahen left the nest

[Aliteri]

Hi, we have several pea fowls in the neighborhood and one is nesting in our backyard. There are 5 eggs, three have hatched and the hen is walking around the yard with the chicks. My question is will she continue to nest on the remaining two eggs at night. We have small dogs but I am keeping them in the house for now and taking them to the side yard to do their business.
How long should I wait for the remaining two eggs to hatch?
Thank you,
Theresa

Sounds like she's done sitting on eggs.

Does that mean the two eggs will not hatch? I’m afraid she will leave and the eggs will hatch and they won’t have a mom

If she has not sat on them overnight they are probably dead unless you are having hot nights. We normally take the eggs right away once the hen has left and put the remaining eggs in the incubator, then if they hatch we put them under the hen at dusk.
