notlaying

[pigeon princess]

Hi ive had a pair of birds paired up two weeks tomorow nest built almost straight away hen sat on nest most of time but no eggs  am i just being impatiant

[Novice]

Could just be the weather.

Try giving them dummy eggs to sit on then swap the eggs from another pair and let them rear the young.

They should then lay normally---if not the hen could be barren.

how old is the hen?

HENS MAYBE OVERWEIGHT?

[pigeon princess]

Hi they are only young birds o9

she may just not be ready to lay yet, give her time and a change in the weather and she'll be fine.
