Do mourning dove eggs turn black?

Mourning dove eggs typically have a pale, bluish or white coloration with some speckling, not a solid black color. However, if eggs are exposed to certain conditions, such as prolonged heat or other environmental factors, they may appear darker or develop spots. It's important to ensure that eggs remain in a stable, safe environment for proper development. If you notice significant discoloration, it could indicate a problem with the eggs.
