i love when people on facebook groups are like "fowl will kick bad eggs out of the nest" any time someone else says an egg escaped a nest. Like, no they do not know that. We have watched birds sit on rocks, and lightbulbs, and golf balls, and ball pit balls. The really broody ones will sit on sterile eggs until they die unless you break them of their brood. You can swap a broody's dud eggs for fertile ones and they don't care or notice. Stores literally sell wooden and ceramic eggs to trick them because they can't tell the difference. People make posts about bad eggs exploding under their hens. They have no psychic ability to see the interior of the eggs. their brains are like the size of a lima bean and when they're broody they're so hormone addled they aren't even using it. there's 1 thought in their entire body and it's "hatch eggy"
this is the face of a bird that knows nothing, but in particular has no idea if an egg is bad
she would fight me for free if I touched that ball pit ball she trying to hatch. birds are stupid. if yours kicks an egg out just warm it back up and give it back

Jufly prompt #27 - Nest
Both shortwing and broadwing mares prepare raised nests on which they incubate their eggs. They often do so deep in dense forests for both safety and for food within easy reach. A shortwing will lay but one egg. Broadwings lay clutches of 5 or so.

There's so much talk of what's required to hatch a dragon egg and why some don't (no fire? no blood magic? no Valyrian blood pure enough? No X-gene-based aptitude?)
How funny would it be if dragon eggs didn't hatch just because they're. You know. Not fecundated in the first place
