Ok well I have this nest box in my zebras aviary and lately I've been limiting the amount of nest boxes in my aviary due to the fact they have been breeding too much. Well this nest box I have has two clutches in one, it's like one side has eggs in it and the other side has eggs in it. I know it's not from the same birds because it's been like broken into two different parts of the one nest. I know it not normal for this to happen and that I should get rid of them but there actually being incubated by the 2 pairs. And there's no fighting. It's really confusing but I will try and post some pics up later. Can I please have any input on what you guys think?? Thanks

well, no harm that I can think of in letting naure take it's course.
I had 2 hen quails sitting on the same nest once, they both raised the chicks together happily. not the same I know, but still.

Let them go , then either remove all nests or add some more .
I'm curious to know the outcome so keep us posted please .

ok well heres the photos

this is the shared nest


inside you can see the eggs closer to me and the other clutch further back of the nest

It's a roomie nest and there was a shortage of options. And they are Zebs, makes perfect sence to me.
