Will i get more peafowl eggs?

[pittmanbirds]

This is my third year getting peafowl eggs, but the first year with a decent incubator. I have a 5 year old purple hen and 2 year olds purple, white and black shoulder hens. I got 4 eggs that were laid every other day the last about 2 weeks ago. I don't remember such a long break last year. And the end of last summer i did get a few eggs from one of the other hens as well so hopefully that one will lay soon as well.

You should get more eggs, the two year olds should give you a few eggs this year but I have had two year olds that didn't lay and some that laid really well, you just don't know.

You have to be patient, I have pens that I have not gotten an egg from these have mature birds the youngest 4 years old, one pen has been laying for almost a month now I have three hens in each pen at this time, and eggs scheduled to hatch next week end. When your hens are ready to lay they will we can try to help mother nature with the best feeds and supplements, but have no control over her.

Very true. This crazy weather probably isn't helping. 30 one day 85 four days later.
