About Pigeon`s Eggs

[KiddoPH]

I have a pair of pigeons, they had their two eggs but eventually they`d abandoned it, my question is,
If I put the 1st pair of eggs in their 2nd pair of eggs (Under Incubation), Is there any possibility that the 1st pair of eggs will hatch?

How long have they left the first pair?

 

[KiddoPH]

about 2-3 weeks, just less than a month.

about 2-3 weeks, just less than a month. Crazier things have happened.
I am saying NO.

Plus the parents would be over burden trying to raise 4 squabs you would put all the young in jeopardy of not surviving.

I agree with Hokum Coco on both accounts.

I woulnt bother as something could be wrong with eggs or parents (Darwinism, that if it cannot raise own young it doesn't get to pass on bad genes), but.. in a 40" x 40" x 40" cage with two nest bowls per pair per cage breeding pairs separate (one in each back corner), with two cups each for food n water filled maybe twice daily, maybe double that. lol. feed layer before you breed, n i have fostered two eggs to rollers, and four eggs with my parlors (only give 20" hight though to these after three months old/when they stop flying when mature), flying flights n ringneck doves, in with two of own eggs, and parents raised all fine. so depends on easily digestable nutrition, parental instinct of parents, and of course which most don't know about.. SPACE.. physical health of parents and young to move to keep healthy is key. though had flights n ringnecks in standard breeding cages (24" 24" 24"), and they could care for half as many still.

Was it usual that the parents still keeping the "Just hatched egg" beneath them?
