my dad cut down a large fir tree and when I was shooing my chickens out from under it I found two wood pigeon eggs, one smashed the other perfect. So I have brought it inside and put it in my brinsea 20 egg fully automatic incubator. I have some SLW eggs in it as well so its set at 37.5 temp C and 45% RH.

1) will it hatch under these conditions, I have candled it and it is fertile.
2) how long will it take to hatch
3) what are the correct conditions, I have a broody on standby to have the 5 SLW eggs
4) if it hatches what do I feed it on, how do I look after it.

Thanks Nick
 
If its gonna hatch, id say about 10 days. Look back on the older threads, I have advise on rasing baby pigeons from day one.
