How do I hatch peacock eggs the female is ignoring?

How do I hatch peacock eggs the female seems to be ignoring? Or does she only sit on them when I’m not around?

Answer #1

Hi,

Peahens (female peacocks) will sometimes lay decoy eggs away from the nest to distract predators. This could be what your peahen laid.

However, oftentimes in captivity, incubators are used to help eggs hatch.

Answer #2
