bad eggs?

Well its been a while since my last dove post. No good news as far as baby doves being born. I took some of the eggs away and now they are STILL SITTING on 2 eggs. One egg doesn't look promising and the other I am unsure about. I thought I would just post a follow up but NO ACTION: But my pair of doves keep sitting, Sitting, and SITTING!

I love the name you have COLLARED DOVES, here they are ringnecks. ;) I don't see too many out and about. We have many others inc. diamond doves which are smaller and peppered with white spots! Thanks floots!

my dad use to keep/breed parakeets and ornamental pheasants when i was a kid and i was given/entrusted with a pair of diamond doves
(i was near great missenden then - would have asked you over to see them - but you'd not been born) :)
