Ok so I have two peafowl eggs under my broody silkie. They are about to hatch. They have externally pipped this morning but have not hatched yet. It will be 28 days on Friday. When they finally hatch is it ok to let the silkie raise them? They are in my chicken coop I use for Broody's. I am getting some medicated game starter tomorrow. Can the silkie mom eat it too? And I read on here that the pea chicks can't go out in the dirt till there older cause it can kill them? What age is it safe to let them out? Sorry I have tons of questions I don't really know anything about peafowl.
