The females make a two syllable sound that sounds a little like "buck-wheat". No eggs and fighting is also a dead give away, lol.

I have 5 hens and 9 males you talk about fighting! Have you ever seen 2 males try and mate with a hen? It is interesting! That was why I wasn't sure that the eggs would be fertile.

I have another one pipping!

Don't have sound on this computer, so can't verify this video.

-Kathy Thanks for the videos Kathy, very educational. But I do have to say "GFTV" ? There must be some people out there with way too much free time.

How exciting for you. I am glad you are getting some babies. I wonder about the incubation though. I am sorry I don't have any insight I guess I always had just sheer dumb luck when I hatched anything.

You're welcome! GFTV, I hadn't noticed that, lol. You're right, someone has way too much time!

I've seen three male ducks on one female duck before.

through my intense curiosity I made a lot of mistakes! But, that was what the guinea eggs were for. I know what to do and what not to do with the peafowl eggs! Have your peahens mates yet?

Maybe the other more experienced incubators will chime in, but I'd think it would be best to add eggs every 5 days instead of as they are laid.
