    Hi Caithan! That's a good question. My best way of showing you is this picture from a site we call Egg Rock because it is very easy to spot their eggs:

    and here's a close up:

    In the lower nest you can clearly see both of the eggs. Those eggs have to be turned now and then to keep them evenly warmed. If they are uncovered for more than 5 minutes they will probably fail to hatch.
