How can i hatch a dove egg

Question

my doves keep laying eggs and theyy arent sitting on them so i put the eggs in the nesting box but i dont know what to do.

Answer 1

Eggs need warmth, and they need to be turned so the embryo doesn't stick to the inside of the shell; if the doves won't sit on them then you need an incubator to keep them warm. Look for one that actually turns the eggs completely over, instead of just rocking them a little bit. Of course, if you have never actually seen the doves mate, there's a chance that the eggs simply aren't fertile, and that may be why the doves aren't sitting on them. Also consider getting formula to feed the baby doves if you do hatch some, because if the parents won't sit on viable eggs there's a chance they may also be too inexperienced to care for the babies.
