I am a novice gardener and came across a nest when I was cutting back an overgrown plant. The “nest” (if you can even call it that) is a hole in the dirt of my raised garden bed underneath an overgrown tarragon plant. I wouldn’t even qualify as a novice bird person so I have no clue what I came across. Are they even bird eggs? Please help!
Oh I was going to attach a photo but can’t figure out how to. So description… the eggs themselves are white-ish with brown speckles, about 1-1.5 inches long, and there are 11 eggs in the nest. I have not touched the eggs. They have a round base and a fairly pointy top.
I googled quail eggs but the brown spots aren’t as dark or big as the photos of quail eggs. I googled guinea fowl eggs but the photos of those eggs show brown shells. I considered pheasant eggs but the color is wrong. They looked like wild turkey eggs but are the wrong size
