Hi,
I started of with 4 Pigeons, one in pair and other two males. The pair laid eggs and today they have turned 20 days old babies. About two weeks back one of my friend asked me to keep two of his pigeons one mail and a female.
The female got paired with one of my old males and now they have laid eggs. The first egg came yesterday, so I am expecting another one tomorrow.
Today when I peeped into the compartment of the old Pair whose babies are 20 days old, to my surprise I found two eggs over there as well. These guys are still raising the young ones.
Now if I calculate I'll have some 12 pigeons if all eggs hatches.
I have searched the forum and found that people use dummy eggs to replace the original ones. I am not sure whether I'll find any dummy eggs here in India (Bangalore). Although I'll start looking for pet shops from today onwards in search of dummy eggs.
I wanted to know following two things -
1) What do you do with the original eggs if you replace them with the dummy ones? Just throw them
? (feeling little bit wierd when I think about tihs)
2) Is there any other way you guys suggest which I can do as of now with these eggs?
Thanks in advance.
