http://www.peafowl.org/breeders.htm You can check here or there are usually some on eggbid. Deerman on here sells them to, I think, and he is near Lebanon, Oh. Good luck.

You are probably having trouble because it is the end of breeding season. My peafowl have stopped laying, but someone might have a determined peahen. LOL

honestly you are better off buying live peachicks. peafowl eggs are tough to hatch... buying chicks is a sure thing.
Hopkins peafowl is in Indiana. look them up online. They have a great website and they are very active in the UPA. Craig will treat you right

I have a Dickey incubator and have ordered peafowl eggs online aswell as hatched my own in it. I have hatched almost every egg I put in it and had peachicks out my ears, LOL. I also will let the peahen set them for awhile, or a broody turkey and then put them in the bator. If you order eggs online, always try to find a place close by to purchase them. The closer the better for shipping and hatching.

I would agree with that, if you get 50% hatch from shipped eggs you are doing something. This year was our first experience ording pea chicks and I won't ever buy shipped eggs again.

Yes laying season is coming to an end. I ship hundreds of peafowl eggs every year. This is my 4 year shipping without one egg BROKEN!! Yes they can be hard to hatch, by last 4 eggs auction. i shipped 5 and 4 had form at 14 days.

IMO most lose them right before they hatch, humidity to low the last week.

If you have luck hatching turkeys, peafowl about the same.

With all shipped eggs, remember cost of eggs plus shipping is cheaper than live birds. But dont expect more than 50% hatch rate.

With getting peachicks, better to get birds older as the first weeks are when most people lose them.
