So- I wasn’t sure if the young pigeons I bought last September were a boy and a girl or what, but apparently I have one of each! Had our first two eggs and at least one appeared to be fertilized (circle apparent on yolk). I cracked them to check for that, and figured I’d fry them just so they weren’t wasted.
May be no surprise to those of you who know about such things, but I was very confused when the egg whites didn’t turn from transparent to white, like chicken eggs do. They just turned into gelatinous, clear, goop. I found this a bit disturbing, so I turned to uncle Google, and apparently people really LIKE how boiled pigeon eggs stay translucent. I don’t think it is for me, but it was fun to learn that this is actually what they are supposed to look like.
