    Do you know of their habit to all get into one tree just before sunset and make a racket and then one by one leave for another tree to overnight?

    Very interesting. Strange that until I saw the picture I never realy thought about their nesting habits. Kind of assume they just lay their egs on a patch of ground, not really making a nest. Very interesting and thanks for sharing!

    Before they actually start sitting down to incubate the eggs they lay a number of eggs. The hens also lays eggs in other nests of the flock.

    I did not want to touch them or pick them up but they look slightly smaller than a chicken egg.

    Size: They vary but about the same as the standard size of chicken eggs (Small ones) you buy in the shop
