Pigeon pair keep breaking their eggs

[biophiliac]

i always add nesting material(90% of time straws) but he kick it out. Maked them a bigger nest that is deeper so he cant kick them out, waiting to end with the eggs they have now because they will not adapt to the new nest so quickly and the eggs will get too cold and the embryo will die

Are you sure they will not adapt? I recently added wood shavings to two nests that were about halfway through incubation and my birds were not bothered at all. Its worth a try if you think the eggs will get broken anyway?

i dont really think they will adapt to this nest because there are many factors that are different from the nest they have now, gonna try tomorrow but if i dont see in a hour or 2 that they stay on the nest i will put the old one and maybe i will have luck and they will hatch some babys

Yes we do!

If you can get some plain clay cat litter, you can try putting that in the bottom of the nest bowl. It's pretty good at keeping things dry. Next time you might also want to try a bigger bowl or make them a bigger nest. It looks a little small for them.

Without changing the nest, there is not much you can do. Do you have another pair that laid eggs at the same time that you could put the eggs under?
