The eggs are four or five in number, and vary much ; 
they are broader in proportion to their length than those 
of the raven, and carrion and hooded crows : they are 
sometimes thickly mottled all over, like eggs of the 
raven; sometimes suffused witli green, like those of the 
carrion crow, and sometimes much like eggs of the jack¬ 
daw.
