Wobbly peahen

[peafowl_Lover]

Hi, Sweetpea laid 3 eggs she laid them the 1st 3rd and 5th of July, she hasn't laid one since, she is ruffled looking and is a bit wobbly her tail is above her wings but the wings aren't drooping too much, when she walks she's a bit wobbly.

She wasn't really due until last night and it is not unrealistic to go to the third day. You could give her some calcium gluconate in case her egg is stuck but she doesn't look in distress.

She seems much better, are they meant to lay in the evening? She seems to do that.
Thanks for your reply

Yes, every other evening when they are in lay, some will wait for the next evening. Two days is normal, three sometimes and when they are about done for the clutch or season.

What are the chances that the eggs could be fertile, she's in with 2 yearling peacocks and 1 yearling peahen, they were hatched in early June last year and display every day. They try to mount her and make the noise as they do but she runs away so I don't think they get the job done. I put the 3 eggs under a broody hen but there doesn't seem to be any development in the first 2 but the third 1 was just freshly put under her. What time should I discard the infertile eggs?
Thanks

By day ten the eggs will be quite obvious if they are good.
