When do you stop turning peafowl eggs? And you incubate the eggs the same as chickens right? so in my little giant still air incubator i hatch them at 101-102 and around 50% humidity right?
 
I was reading this thread and wanted to as some opinions. I have 5 peafowl eggs in my sportsman. I have never hatched peafowl eggs before and these are on 28 days today and no pipping. I can tell they have developed but not sure if they are still alive. Any ideas or comments? I have had them the whole time in the incubator and for the first two weeks I turned them by hand 3 times a day plus of course have then turners on. I can see that all have developed but I really do not see any movement and like I said they have yet to pip. Also, I do not hear anything from them.

I have the humidity up to 70%--is this too high, too low?
 
Temperature should be 99.5 degrees to 100. Hatching humidity should be very high. 90% or more. During development the temp is the same, but humidity should be between 50 and 60%. Stop turning completely after day 25. Those are the general rules to follow.
