Well, just knowing with chickens I have never seen a rooster sit on the eggs! Even watching our wild birds. They build the nest together, but the male hovers around the female while she sits on the eggs. After hatching, they both take turns feeding the babies. Thinking it must be so with bald eagles?

Well, you made me have to look it up! LOL

I figured Audubon ought to know what they’re talking about, so went to them. https://www.audubon.org/field-guide/bird/bald-eagle

Eggs
2, sometimes 1-3. White. Incubation is by both parents, 34-36 days.
