In peahens, the eggs remain fertile for about 24 to 30 hours after mating. After this period, fertilization can no longer occur, and the peahen will typically lay her eggs within a few days to a week after fertilization. The overall process from mating to laying eggs can vary, but the window for egg fertility is relatively short.

How long does a peahen need to be with peacock to Have fertile eggs?

Sorry, that was me the first time...I reiterate: I don't think you can easily predict which eggs are fertile until they hatch. There is a way to 'candle' them and look for signs of life but I was never able to do it. I kept my pair together and they hatched 3 chicks successfully after a year. There are often a couple that don't make it. The trick is to make a nesting box for the female. Make a 12"X12" frame 4 inches high out of wood and set it on the ground in a corner. If you notice the hen laying on her side and digging with her feet, that's what she's trying to do; make a nest. Sometimes it helps to put some hay-about 2 inches-in the box. I usually collected any recent eggs laying around and put them in the nesting box once she set. I was never able to get them to hatch using an incubator but that's just me. It's best to let the hen sit on the eggs. If she leaves the nest for an extended period of time she'll cover them with dirt or straw first.
