Just FOUND Our Peacock's SECRET Nest In The Forest [Hatching Peacock Eggs] 🦚

We just found our peahen's secret nest in the woods and there are 5 fertile peacock eggs there! Now what do we do??
-------
Today on the cog vlog we have noticed over the last week that Ozella, our black shoulder peahen, has been missing during the day. We only see her when we feed the chickens and ducks and Scott, our male peacock, and then she just vanishes. We have been thinking that she had a secret or hidden peacock nest somewhere, and today I got super lucky because I saw here early this morning and followed her into the forest. I actually lost her for several minutes, but then she made her peacock or peahen noise, call, and that lead me into the right direction to where she was nesting. After several minutes of searching for her nest, and possibly peacock eggs, I caught a glimpse of her nesting on the ground in some thick ground cover. Her and her nest was pretty camouflaged and honestly I was pretty lucky to see and find the secret nest. She did get up off her nest and there were 5 peacock eggs under her, and we wanted to hatch some of our own peafowl, but at the same time I did not want to take her eggs that she's been sitting of for no telling how long now, so I made the decision to only take 2 of her p[peacock eggs and leave her with 3 eggs to hatch out herself. Before we put our 2 peafowl eggs in the incubator to hatch out, we candled the eggs to check and see if they were fertile peacock and eggs, and they are most definitely fertile peafowl eggs. And honestly it looks like they are much further along on than we expected, so they should hatch in the next weeks or days and we should have some baby peachicks running around on the farm. So baby peacocks hatched out by us and some peachicks hatched out by Ozella.

Looks like it's time for you to get your goat in the Backwoods area for some clearing. And Mary Catl has such a gentle touch with her eggs but she's a sharp gal and knows what to do. She has so many talents and abilities!

Amazing! But after joining the Cog Squad, my husband now wants roosters, a peacock and a turkey! Where we live now, we can't even have a rooster and he's looking for another property! You're a bad influence on him. haha. Just joking. We love you all.

Congratulations Ozella and Scott. We have 5 newly-hatched barn swallows on our front porch, but we haven't named them. We haven't even named their parents who nest here every year.
