What are your experiences with shipped peafowl eggs?

With chicken eggs, my hatch rate has varied from 20% to 75%. Are peafowl success rates similar?

no , 50% would be a good hatch for shipped peafowl eggs.

Steve, I wish I had thought to ask you if you had any available. I just bought 9 eggs on eBay, coming from Florida. I'm hoping for at least 3 to hatch.

About like everyone else here to get some colors you want means shipping eggs.I tried my best to locate eggs within 250 miles or less from me last year for peacock eggs. The closest eggs came from 125 miles away,but still took 3 days to get here.But from that sellers auction with 6 eggs,I got 5 to hatch and my most favorite of all came from that auction,a beautiful charcoal w/e hen. I also purchased many eggs from Iowa,about 250 miles away and sometimes only had 25% hatch rates,but from those auctions I got several midnights,and cameo w/e,as well as several pieds of diffrent colors,mainly silver. Buying peachicks at 35$ and up your still taking the risk of loss makes buying eggs still worthwhile as long as the price is somewhere about 1/3 of buying equal variations-colors of peachicks imho.
