Why do doves lay eggs with no babie inside?

Question

well i dont know which dove is a girl or guy but one of them is laying the egg and when he or she lays them the egg just endup having yolk in it so how do i solve this problem?

Answer 1

Well I used to own doves, and my finches did this as well. Are you absolutey positive you have one of each s*x? Birds will just lay eggs on their own without being fertilized by  a male (chickens for example). They still will have the yolk, however if a male had ferilized it there would be an embryo inside. The only way to solve this is to go to a pet store where they know for certain what the s*x is. Birds that don't have outright diferences, such as color, to tell you the s*x have to be DNA tested. Pretty sure a vet can just do this. I belive they just pluck a feather and test that

Answer 2

An egg is the equivalent of a period in birds. The only way for a baby to form is if the egg was fertilized.

Answer 3

you may have 2 female birds.have them DNA tested

Answer 4

Because they are not fertilized by a male.  You probably have 2 females or else the one that is supposed to be the male is not doing his job.  Have your birds DNA sexed...

Answer 5

you might have two girls but some times it takes a young pair a while to figure out how to fertilize and sit on the eggs successfully
