The incubation period for Peafowl eggs is 28 days.  They can be incubated under hens (3 to 4 eggs under bantams or 6 to 8 eggs under large hens) or in incubators.  With incubators use the instructions for turkeys.  The Peahens may be allowed to hatch their own eggs with good success.  The Peachicks can be started on Turkey Starter or 30% Game Bird Starter.  The chicks start eating quickly.  First water given should be warm.  Peachicks require slightly warmer temperatures than baby chicks, about 95 degrees to start with.  You can tell that Peachicks are comfortable when they lay in a close group with necks stretched out as they sleep.  If they peep they are too cool, when they're quiet, they are warm enough.  Have your heat source warm enough at one end of the brooder, and have enough room for the chicks to move to the cooler end to seek their own comfort zone.  Feed the adults Turkey or Pheasant feed.  The addition of whole grains are welcomed and enjoyed by your Peafowl.  A simple pen of 12' X 24" will provide a spacious area for a pair or trio of full plumage breeders.  Provide a shelter at one end with a high perch for protection from bad weather.
