I'm sure you could remove those eggs and make a nest for them, it's just a matter of filling it with some fine grass and putting your fist in it to shape a chamber and then replace the eggs. It is probably their roosting nest anyway. Craig

What Craig said. And if the eggs are no good cause she is ready and he is not she can have a practice while he gets his mojo into gear.

I recall a young DB hen that dropped all of her first year eggs from the perch, despite having plenty of nesting sites and materials available. She seemed completely devoid of any innate nesting instincts. In her second year she did not go to nest and produced no eggs at all. In her third year she laid only thee eggs and successfully reared one chick. In her fourth year she laid no eggs. In her fourth to fifth year she died.
Although some of my pairs were better, in general, DBs have not been good breeders for me.
