| I was cleaning the loft today and I had to move a pigeon who was sitting on an egg. I figured I'd replace their egg while I was at it. I picked it up and it was super tiny! Smaller than half the size of a dove egg. I held it up to the light to see inside, and it had no yolk! I gave it back to him. An egg with no yolk can't hatch, right?  | |

| No...it couldn't hatch. Was there only one egg? | |

| I don't think so, the male sitting on it's mate's layed plenty of eggs before. But I also have a young hen in the loft, I suppose there's a chance she layed an egg and he decided to sit on it.  | |

| Keep an eye on them...there may be another normal egg to follow. | |
