We have a nest in our back porch and the eggs have been there for quite some time...Ooo I wonder if I can eat em (JK)!  So do they go to the pan or to the sky?

Most foreign doves lay two white eggs, which they incubate from twelve to eighteen days. They feed their squabs by regurgitation as do domestic pigeons, and these stay in the nest much longer than do the young of tame pigeons, which is a -real advantage. Some of the larger species, such as cuckoo and other doves, lay only a single egg at each setting. Thus, the Luzon Bleeding Heart lays two eggs each time, whereas the Bartlett Bleeding Heart dove lays but one. The reason for this difference is not known.

imao: If a rooster could lay egg(!) it would fall outside the roof!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n--- ► λ ◄

I get deer in my back yard from time to time. They eat the bark off whatever trees I try to plant.\n\n I have a hedgehog and a family of ringneck doves.  A magpie, two voles have a nest under my patio, a wren has a nest under the eave of my front porch.\n\n An owl did live in my back yard but the tree was 300 years old and fell down a few years ago. The owl moved to the woods behind my house. I still hear him hunting at night.\n\nLast spring, I saw a wild boar at dawn but that was only once.\n\nFunny thing is, I live about 20 minutes from the middle of downtown (city of 500,000). Wild, huh?

Everyone must drop a egg from a height and not break the egg. All you can use is rubberbands and straws. So you cover the egg with straws (2 or 3 layers) and tie the ends with the rubberbands .

If you leave an egg in vinegar long enough the shell will disolve leaving only the inner membrane.  It's pretty cool.  I've done it quite a few times.

I've heard of attacks by mockingbirds and bluejays and have seen both of these birds swoop on other potential predators such as cats. They only do it when they feel their nest (with eggs or nestlings) is threatened. The solution is just to stay away from the nest.

Last time I did this, we made a basket kind of thing an place the egg inside it. Remaing straws we pulled it to make it long n tied it to the egg(in the basket). Instead of throwing the egg, we slowly release the straws (straws act like a rope) so the egg reached ground safely. just make a simple catching platform in your case. Concetrate your resource for the rope and basket. \n\nThis exercise want us to think outside the box.Hope this help.

Yes most chickens lay eggs everyday as long as you continue to keep them healthy and take the eggs away daily, if you leave the eggs they will sit on them and stop laying more eggs. They do not need to have sex to lay eggs, but they need to have sex to lay fertilised eggs that will turn into chicks. If a hen(must be a breed that goes "broody" laying hens dont usually sit thier eggs) mates with a rooster, lays fertilised eggs which are then left in the nest and incubated... then yes they will hatch into chicks.

Of course they do!  You probably got eggs all over the place...

Well if I were to guess, I would suppose it was the chicken. I gather this idea from the Bible which says that God created the animals and birds not just eggs for the birds or fowl...\n\nGood luck with your quest! I supppse if you are pondering the great mysteries of life, you might consider this question. If it's a stupid question I have sure heard it asked all of my life. \n\nI know a little bit about chickens, and unless there is a hen to sit on the nest of eggs,  the eggs  would never hatch! They would suffer from cold and then no nurturing if they did happen to hatch. I have watched mother hens and they know a lot when it comes to gathering their chicks up when they feel danger for them. The hen will give them a signal just so the young chicks could all gather around their mother hen so she could fluff her feathers and seem larger and more fomidable while protecting the hatchling chicks.\n\nNot a stupid question, I am only guessing at what I feel explains it for me :)\nruthie~

They are indeed maggots.  Cheese is not sterilized before it is processed for consumption.  The eggs likely were on the cheese before you opened it.  The room temp simply provided the appropriate environment for them to hatch.  They may have been from fuit flies.  Had the cheese ever been opened before?  It takes very little to contaminate.

It's an egg for sure. Wasn't that a riddle in "The Hobbit"?

My two cluckers came out of eggs.  Did you know that there are two chickens for every human being on earth?  That's a lot of cluckers.\n\n\nChickens rule.

If you only have one canary then it can not be fertile but if you have a male and female then you may see some babies soon.If they arent fertile she will throw the eggs out of the nest herself.

Biologically speaking they lay eggs in spring because the increasing day length triggers the brain to release reproductive hormones. Those hormones cause the birds to mate, which of course leads to eggs.\n\nEvolutionarily birds lay eggs in spring because summer and autumn are the times of most abundant food: insects, fruit, nuts, mice and so forth. By laying eggs in spring the young birds start flying when there is the maximum  amount of food around. That way they have a few months to learn how to hunt, find berries and so on before it becomes difficult. By the time winter comes they have become proficient at finding food, so even though there is less food around in winter they have become so good at finding it they won’t starve. If eggs were laid in winter or autumn the young would be trying to learn how to find food when food is most scarce and they would almost certainly starve before they learned.\n\nThe abundance of food in spring and summer also make sit easier for the parents to find enough food to bring back to the nest.\n\nSome people will try to tell you that birds nest in spring because they can’t keep the eggs warm in winter. Of course this makes no sense because many penguins lay their eggs right at the very beginning of winter. They do that because the maximum amount of food available in the Antarctic occurs right at the very end of winter and start of spring. By laying their eggs at the beginning of winter the penguin chicks start swimming right when the maximum amount of food is available, just as other birds start flying just when the most food is around.

Tricky question.  No, they won't breed in the wild for the reasons given above.  However, in a loft, they may try to breed if the food is adequate and if extra light is given to them.  However, if the ambient temperature is not much above the outside air, then success is usually minimal.  Some parents are very, very good about covering the youngsters and they will thrive for the first week or so.  However, often when the parents begin to leave the nest and try to breed their second round, the young can't maintain enough body heat *since their own feather covering is minimal* and they freeze.  \n\nMost breeders will separate the sexes during the winter to stop breeding.  When I bred birds in New England, I often found that wasn't even necessary since most will not attempt to breed at all.  Also, if you put them on barley and corn (maize), you often find they don't want to breed anyway.\n\nSo, to answer.  Yeah, they might try to rear young in very cold climates given extra food & light, but success is usually very minimal.  There may be others who've had better success, but without specially heated buildings, I'm pretty sure that it wasn't something to be expected.
