Dove Vs. Canary Egg

Post by Domenic » Thu May 27, 2010 2:57 am

My father brought me three eggs from the petstore yesterday. They were going to throw them away but gave them to us instead. 2 of the eggs are normal sized, I'm guessing society, zebra, or silverbill eggs. One is large though, and I am unsure whether it is a diamond dove or a canary egg. Can anyone tell me the size difference between a canary egg and a diamond dove egg? My societies are currently incubating the large egg along side 5 normal eggs. Once it hatches I will have to hand feed it.

hi
for a start a canary egg is pale blue/green with speckles on so it may be a doves egg or maybe a java sparrow as they lay pretty large eggs (all white)

All canaries lay blue eggs? I didn't know this. :oops: I'm pretty certain it is a diamond dove then. They had no Javas at the store.

My last canary hen did not lay all blue eggs. Some were white and some had a blue tint. But they did usually have specks on them.
