Should I hatch Peafowl or Wyanndottes?

[DancingWthDucks]

Hi all,

I've got a dilemma...

Recently my black Pilkie (Polish x Silkie) hen went strongly broody and is currently in the nest box, dedicatly incubating a stone, and about a week ago a friend gave us 6 Silver Laced Wyanndotte Bantams hatching eggs from his breeding stock. I was all set on giving her the eggs tonight until another friend offered me 3 Peafowl eggs....

Could I put both the Bantam eggs and the Peafowl eggs together?

What are the chances of 1 week old bantams hatching?

Could I brood both the pea chicks and bantams together?

What would you do?

Thanks in advance

I don't know about brooding them together, but I would think that your pilkie should be able to cover a dozen eggs, so nine should be no problem
