$25 and $40 an egg do seem a bit high-priced, but then they are not
available on every street corner, either. I have no idea what the
typical going rate is. Maybe you could get a "hatch or no pay" guarantee,
or trade some other kind of eggs or birds for them.

I am not suprised that something that kills rattlesnakes sells for more
than a chicken, though.

edit:

Do the eggs have some distinctive appearance that would
allow you to be sure it was a peacock egg? Could you get some
fly-by-night sharp operator at a market selling goose eggs
or whatever and calling them peacock eggs?
