A friend of my daughter's bought an old farm last year and adopted a chicken flock and three geese from a neighbor who was moving. She knew nothing about poultry and often asked us for advice. This spring she gifted me with 6 mystery goose eggs to hatch, that turned out to be white chinese. Two were infertile (probably froze) and 4 hatched. She knows I have had great luck hatching chicks, ducklings, turkeys and geese.
Last night she called to ask if I would incubate some eggs for her and I agreed. She said she would be here in 15 minutes, someone gave her 3 peafowl eggs! I was surprised at how big they were. Anyway, I plugged one of my incubators back in and set them, so fingers crossed they are fertile and I do it right.
I won't ask for hatching advice as I am sure it is somewhere in this forum and I intend to read the entire thing. So excited to try them, and they are from a local wildlife rescue just down the road from me. She said she has always wanted peafowl (well, me too). If I succeed I will try to find some of my own.
