My Peahen not sitting on her eggs.

My parents layer 10 eggs Monday and isn’t really sitting on them in the day I’ve seen her sit on them in the nite but they feel cold?

Hi,

We aren’t experts on peafowl or game birds in general. However, a hen can’t lay 10 eggs at a time. Some say they lay one every other day, some say they can lay one egg daily. As for incubation, I would recommend that you do some research online or try to find a breeder who can give you specific advice.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,
