erijn5,,I'm about 45 minutes drive north of Champaign here,,and need another 3-4 days of serious building before I can even seperate mine for breeding.I gotta stop buying on a "whim" then always having to build as they grow here.I'm hoping nothing begins here until the end of the month,mine are all coming 2 year olds this spring so maybe that will delay them some,,,I still have worming to be done as well as their new building and outside pens finished.

Once,I bought 6 peafowl eggs-assorted colors.That gentleman generously shipped10 of them-individually wraped with bubble wrap exceedingly well and lots of shredded paper as a cushion in the box. They arrived intact safely.I incubated them at 99.5 F and 50% humidity. The result was -none of them hatched.Also there was no indication of any initiation of growth inside the eggs.My conclusion is- that the respiratoty process was arrested for 2-3 days when wrapped with plastic or may the embryos have gotten detached from the yolk, due to the vibration and shaking they suffered in transit. Since then, I decided not to have the eggs shipped. And I do not to ship the eggs for the same said reason above.. We learn from our experiences.
