Male looks like hes two just starting to get a train, for the hens its harder to tell just by looking at them. The older hen will weigh more and should have spurs just a bit bigger.

The male is an india blue, notice the barring on his wings, for a blackshoulder it would be all black wings hence blackshoulder.​

I GOT 2 eggs what do i do with them????

do i leave them in there? will the pheasents brake them open?

if i take them will they keep laying them?

how would i store them till my incubtor gets here?

im lost here what do i do?

they just laying on the ground.

well its personal preferance, so peahens will go broody some won't , i'm not sure if the pheasants will break them, if you take them out yes the hens will lay more eggs, if you don't take them out the hens will lay about 3-5 eggs then sit if they choose to

, if you decide to incubate them keep them somewhere cool until you put them in the incubator, they will only be good for about a week. If they are not in a nest or divot in the ground most likely then hens aren't going to lay on them.

i think i should steel them???


and i thought this was a cool pic. first time they have flown up there and the sun was setting!!!

 

[coloradopeafowl]

Like i said personal preferance. looks like they may be layed on but who knows with peahens.
