My very Proud dove- adventures of hidden nest

[Lofty Dreams]

That is so cute.

Update- hatch day, removed 2 clear and one 3 day quieter of the 12- 5 have hatched, one I think is a duck egg- whoops...

Six hatched, 3 removed- clear or very early quit- (don't candle enough I guess) other 3 look like duck development consistent with day 21, but the air sacs are huge due to chicken humidity- I would swear a duck could not have gotten up there to lay at all.

They were IN the nest box on the far left... It was opened and they were laid inside- my duck butts are too large for that...

The dirty one I found on the coop floor was very likely a duck egg- but the others..???

Duck hatched, still one egg left... (I still think its a chicken egg that failed to hatch or quit after lock down) It's 'due' today.

Picts... um later...
