I get what Arthur means is that crown pigeons,nicobars are just cock birds around means no eggs
Replying to Henry's message, i thought pigeons/ doves only ever laid 1 or 2 eggs per clutch. On very odd occassions I did have 3 or 4 young in diamond dove nests (2 times outa probably 100 nests over 25 years), mainly because they left the nest early then laid again. So you are super lucky. A positive with doves is that unlike with finches where I would say 3 nests per year maximum, doves can lay up to 6 nests per year if the food is good and rich & conditions are right.
