I posted a while back with a question regarding how long pigeons remain fertile and am now proud to say I completely agree with y'all..a 3 year old pigeon is DEFINETELY still capable of laying fertile eggs
Within a few days of introducing Homer's new 'mate' she laid a pair of eggs..eggs we assumed wouldn't be fertile because four days? seriously?!
As a result I didn't bother to note when she went broody.
Well I've just candled the eggs and the pics are below;

(Egg 1)

(Egg 2)
Any ideas on how old these eggs are and when (give or take a few days) they'll hatch? I'm not even sure if any people around here DO candle pigeon eggs (I'm still sane enough to realise I'm going crazy)..blame this baby chicken-less New year
And try as I might I can't remember when we got Woody..sorry for the lack of help there
Thanks =)
