I read on a different thread that someone hatched a chicken egg with their pigeons.
Is it possible?
Would pigeons actually be able to hatch such a large egg?
Would I have to throw away the pigeons eggs?
Would I have to wait until they lay their own eggs or could I put it in a pairs nest that they are GOING to lay eggs in?
Would the pigeons actually be willing to sit on the egg for a extra week? Could I keep the chick with the foster parents (I know the parents would be a little confused)?
I'd keep them in a separate cage then the other pigeons.
Also would it be OK to put a not fertile chicken egg under to pigeon and then buy newly hatched chicks to put under them?
How many chicks do you think they could handle? Two? What about a duckling?
