#incubation

Never thought I'd be forging from absolute ground zero.

​You wait for almost a month, tracking every single day. And then, finally... the magic happens. The birth of a new life.

P.S. The brilliant Tumblr AI insisted that the birth of a chick is "graphic violence" and wouldn't let me post without a warning label. Apparently, hatching is too hardcore for robots. 🤷‍♂️🤖

No one knows!

The problem isn't the incubation parameters, as far as anyone knows. If you put a peafowl egg into an incubator at 99.5F and 40-55% humidity for 28 days and turn an odd number of days, you stand good chance at getting a baby out of it.

But you also stand a good chance of NOT getting a baby out of it. They die in artificial incubation machines at a much higher rate than other fowl, often right at hatch. Experienced breeders manage to trial-end-error their cabinets to hatch more or less reliably, but it's hard to say if they're doing anything in particular that's special or if they've gone through multiple incubators to find the one that works specifically for them and their birds. I know several breeders who bought one brand of incubator, had shit luck, and bought other brands until they got one that worked. But the ones they couldn't get to work are ones that other people use just fine. I have a friend who thinks GQF incubators are garbage because she loses her peafowl hatches in them, whereas mine was always pretty solid until I started using broody peahens instead.

And shipping pretty much always kills them. People ship all KINDS of eggs around, and while you can expect AROUND a 50% success rate average on shipped eggs, unless the post really fucked it up, many experienced keepers see 70%+. Not peafowl eggs, though. It's to the point that, like, reputable breeders generally just Do Not Ship Eggs, and when you ask about eggs in public groups, you'll get a bunch of people warning you not to throw your money in the garbage.

Stan the peachick was actually a bird that came from shipped eggs, and was Real Fucked Up about it. Because even when they DO hatch from shipped eggs, they are often messed up.
