So... I have a rock dove now. Meet Squabble.

Squabble unfortunately lost interest in brooding today and the eggs got really cold by time I noticed, though there was still movement in both so I booted up the incubator.

Oh Squabble

Do you have a backup incubator for the eggs?

They are in the incubator right now. Put them in when Squabble lost interest in them and left them to get cold. I wouldn't have risked the experiment, especially since this was Squabble's first time brooding, without an incubator at hand to pick up the slack.
8-10 days left!

Update on the eggos

 

[MageofMist]

Sadly the eggs didn't make it, and Squabble thankfully didn't fall out with me over it and is still my crazy squishy baby.

Dolly however has since gone broody and we are on day 15, the eggs are due on the 9th. I have been more hands-off with the eggs this time as I think that was what went wrong with Squabble's clutch.

There was a cage switch around due to the chooks needing a larger enclosure for longterm stay as there's birdflu going around.

"On the Natural History Museum’s website they state that there are 3 types of pigeons:

rock pigeons – which are natural

domestic pigeons – which are artificial

and feral pigeons – which are outlaws"

Squabble, my former outlaw.
