Some Peafowl questions

Good news! I talked to the guy again today and he said he has 4 eggs he will be bringing them over tomorrow. I sure am exited
 
I picked up 65+ eggs from the last week or so today, I will set them and see if any start to develop. I really don't like late hatch chicks as they are so hard to get through the winter.
I have noticed late hatchers tend to have really bad vigor and survivability issues. I don't do anything different with them than I would the others but they often have issues coming out of the egg.
 
Do you have a broody chicken? It would increase your odds if the eggs are fertilized.
I have also noticed that. I actually have 4 broody hens. But 2 are raising chicks and the other 2 are in the main coop and constantly switch nest boxes so I have a feeling if I gave them the peafowl eggs they would be crushed or not sat on consistently.
 
Look what I just got :D
