Yes, move it before incubation begins – you will need to be very careful about not damaging the eggs when you put the pole in the ground. What are everyone’s thoughts on the best way to do this – leave nest & eggs alone in the box or take them out while the pole is being set? I have never done this, so I really don’t know what is best – just that those eggs are strong, but could be damaged by tamping the pole into the ground. Just thought of something – do you have another pole which you could put into a new location and then just attach the box with the eggs to that pole, thus relieving some possibility of bumping the eggs during the tamping of the first pole? Just a thought.
