how long for pigeon egg?

[MommyM]

On June 3rd our pigeon laid an egg. Two actually, but, one was no good and broke. I read that it's 18 days till they hatch. Today is the 18th day, and nothing has hatched yet...how long should we wait?

They dont begin incubating till both eggs are laid, So if she laid her first on the 3rd you would start counting from the 5th, So you still have a day or so

Ok, thanks for that information! We were getting worried.

Still nothing...how long should we wait before taking the egg away from them?

Its doubtful it will hatch, you can hold a pigeon egg up to the sunlight to see if its fertile or not
