Wiley Posted March 22, 2010 Report Posted March 22, 2010 Mamun2a sorry to hear however ive noticed in your loft you've had many problems and have many pigeons that are ill, i firstly would say its unwise to breed of unhealthy pigeons as the youngsters will be unhealthy, regarding cleaning eggs in my opinion it isnt a good idea, and could be a lead on effect from your pigeons being ill, as on healthy birds they wouldnt let there eggs get dirty just my opinion
sapper756 Posted March 22, 2010 Report Posted March 22, 2010 Leave the eggs alone, let nature take its course, I think you may be interfering too much with your birds when sitting :-/ be patient young man hope all goes well for you
mamun2a Posted March 22, 2010 Author Report Posted March 22, 2010 thanx both of u. OK, in God/nature we trust.. :B
wilkins Posted March 22, 2010 Report Posted March 22, 2010 why are they dirty , is your loft damp? or does wet get into your shed, how many birds do you have and it what area wiley is right you need to look at what is behind the problem
Guest IB Posted March 22, 2010 Report Posted March 22, 2010 The eggs are dirty because there is a big youngster in the nest with them. It does happen. There is no harm in cleaning the eggs with a damp cloth and drying them off with a dry cloth before putting them back in the nest. That is better than leaving them dirty and risking bacteria from the droppings getting through the shell and killing the developing eggs.
