Surin steve Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Think the way to if you really wanted peafowl would be get someone to buy on eBay in uk £20-35 for 3 eggs , then get someone to bring them or post them You lose some in postage , xrays but if there packed right you should get more than 60 % hatch rate I did it with my golden giant quail I brought over 24 one got Brocken in transit and 14 hatched out fine and healthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jak2002003 Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Yes.. it was the same guy... he quoted a similar price.. its too expensive for me! Still looking. I found someone selling 2 chicks.. only 1,500 baht each... but there was no way of telling if they were male or female... My luck I would end up with 2 hens. A temple near my home as a lot.. but they are green peafowl.. and I would need a licence to keep them to say they were not stolen from the wild. I prefer the blue species anyway. Interesting about people bringing eggs over here... I would be worried about getting into trouble at the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surin steve Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 The letter of the law says no eggs fertile or not should be brought into Thailand ,but I mate of mine had a dozen turkey eggs sent from uk with EMS ,he had a "do not x ray fertile eggs" sticker on it and it arrived no problem Keep in touch I'm going back to uk soon I'm interested also in peafowl I will bring some eggs back I'm into all kinds of poultry I have geese turkey quail black bone chicken est plus a large incubator to hatch and breed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoop Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Why not buy 3 or 4 young ones rare them till you can sex them, I am sure you will get a pair out of them, if you have more pea hens the better as the cocks are noisey during breeding season.You will be able to sell the others on for a profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
