Urmas: ..But fortunately eggs seem to be not broken, only these could be not alive anymore...
Did he let us understand that the eggs are 'dead' ?
Who knows how long time the eggs were alone at longest? 4 or 6 hours or more
How long time were Klaara's eggs alone at worst? Was it some 8 hours..?
(Well, the eggs of these eagles and of Klaara's were in different phase, and then it was winter.
I'm just wondering, that we may follow a sad story.. though interesting.)
Eha laid her first egg on April 21 and second egg was in the nest 25 Aprilrenandeli wrote:How many days have Koit and Eha left till hatching? ten?
So there is even more hope than a little earlier this eveningRenandeli, I understand Urmas´s post different.
"Fortunately eggs seem to be not broken, only these(what was broken)could be not alive anymore" Only broken eggs would be not alive?
Of course it´s only my nonprofessional guess, but seems birds will not incubate spoiled eggs, as they not raise weak chicks?renandeli wrote:Juta!! Thanks you, you are wise! Of course, that was it!
Juta So there is even more hope than a little earlier this evening
You must be right, Juta There would be no idea to say 'it is a fortune' that the 'dead eggs' are not broken.. The eggs are most propably alive! Now I understood, when you said it, the whole meaning of the sentence of U better, - now me too see the normal logic it has.juta wrote: Of course it´s only my nonprofessional guess, but seems birds will not incubate spoiled eggs, as they not raise weak chicks?
Portugal black storks incubated the third empty egg even a week after the other chicks got hatched.juta wrote: Of course it´s only my nonprofessional guess, but seems birds will not incubate spoiled eggs, as they not raise weak chicks?
Yes you are right, but we do not know when exactly the third was dead (was killed?? ). The third egg just was there as well as the chicks, and the chicks needed in any case the warmth of the parents. The third egg was not 'abandoned' outside the nest. It just was there, but WHEN did it die??.. It was rolled too, for more than one week, there is no deny for that.Portugal black storks incubated the third empty egg even a week after the other chicks got hutched.
I think that something happened to them, to both or to the other one. It was strange how they behaved.. We propably will never know what is was, were they attacked by someone, or did it happen some accident to them.. ( I do not beliebe that they have been angry - and quarreled together - to each others.. I'm not sure if my engish skills are good enough..maybe I misundestood, srry if I did..)asteria wrote:It would be interesting to know the reason of such a strange eagles' behaviour these days: sitting near the nest and not incubating, leaving the nest for a night and then return to incubating as if nothing happened. Did they get quarreled and then put up?
I didn't think about that.. yes, it is possible.. but we can't know for sure..asteria wrote:It might be not dead but "empty"(infertile) from the very beginning.
And I think it was last year that the Bornheim 1 storks sat on the eggs for a full month after the hatch date. There are a lot of examples of birds, especially young birds, doing that. we will have to wait and see.asteria wrote: Portugal black storks incubated the third empty egg even a week after the other chicks got hutched.
