Bobwhite nest?

[Mr Oviraptor]

I have a pair of Bobs in my Pigeon Loft (Yes they live perfectly fine together, Tho the Male gets defensive when one of the Pigeons comes close to the nest), I decided to let the female collect eggs and she since has started sitting on them, Will she hatch them out? Or will she just keep laying and ignore the nest she's created?

If she is actually setting on them she will hatch them.

Most likely the hen and the male will both share the duties of hatching. The pigeons may cause them to abandon setting if they get harassed too much.
I have 2 pens of Bob's right now, where only the males are sitting on the nests....go figure!

Suprisingly they are still sitting, The female is doing most of the sitting but I have seen the male sit too, I only have three Pigeons at the moment, However I belive she might actually hatch them!, So excited for natrually hatched baby Bobs
