pair 2 had 2 eggs did the same thing and had to throw them out too but they r on second nest with 2 eggs. i just candled and to my surprise both have spider veins!!!!! i'm so excited my first fertile pigeon eggs, doing the happy dance!!! mom and dad both alternate takeing turns on them and oh boy is daddy protective,lol. mom is a great mommy she was on nest or i'd not have got the chance to candle real quick(malachite bites to guard nest but onyx doesn't). i'm so excited can't believe they have veins already it is only about 5 days tops i think since first one was laid.

pair 3 have been doing calls and no mateing and no eggs yet.
