We have tried out different incubators for peacock/peahen/peafowl eggs and we have decided to review some of the best ones.
We’d be happy to hear success stories soon!
Best Incubator for Peacock Eggs
There are three species of peafowl:
- The Indian Peafowl
- The Congo Peafowl and
- The Green Peafowl.
The term “peacock” is reserved for the males, while “peafowl” encompasses all the birds in the species.
R-Com RCOM Max 20 MX20 Fully AUTOMATIC Digital Egg INCUBATOR
Great incubator for peacock eggs! It saved me plenty of effort and time with an excellent hatch rate.
I used it for my peafowl and pheasant eggs and it works awesome!
The few bad reviews I have read have been from chicken owners who don’t know their stuff.
So, if you’re an exotic breeder, this bad boy is what you’ll need.
Brinsea Products Mini II Ex Fully Automatic
I own the Brinsea Products Mini and it worked great for peafowl eggs.
I had a 100% hatch rate with first use, and every time after that always had 80% or higher hatch rate.
Hope that helps!

Why are Peacock Eggs so Expensive?
Peacock eggs are expensive because they lat vert few eggs each year.
Peahen(Peacocks) only lay during the breeding season and even at that, they lay only a few egg numbers.
They lay 4-8 eggs a year, just enough to hatch one small series of chicks.
Do Peacocks lay Eggs?
No, peacocks NEVER lay eggs. PEAHENS DO! Peachicks is what their offspring is known as.
