Arthur Ritus Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Isn't she supposed to be sitting on the egg to keep it warm? Won't other birds get the egg while she's away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM01 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Isn't she supposed to be sitting on the egg to keep it warm? Won't other birds get the egg while she's away? They do this every year - they keep the eggs cool until all are laid and can be incubated at the same time. Then the chicks are all born in the space of a day or two. The parents are never far away while the eggs are in the scrape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
