Hatching pigeons in an incubator is a rare event. An assist I've never heard of! Tiny litlle egg-I'll leave it in your good hands and @Fields Mountain Farm . Thank you both.
I have nothin' to add.
Certainly will be following.

The hatch is the easier part imo. More challenging is raising the baby without benefit of crop milk from the parents. What type of formula do you plan to use @LauraMunro ? Have you done baby pigeons before? There are some good vids on youtube. I have only hand fed older babies ~10days+. By that time its easy.

I dont know anything about pigeons either... im just figuring one type of bird egg hatching is fairly the same as any other ... within reason of course... so please stick around and if you find you have any ideas we haven't thought of speak up!
Im really hoping someone who deals with pigeons will stop in and offer help too!!

Now its more important to have a hatching specialist than a pigeon specialist. Assisting pigeon eggs is just so rare you have to apply knowledge from other birds.

I think maybe that's why I didn't end up hatching any. I now remember reading some of that information. Glad you're here for that part, if she needs it.

If you google 'assist malpositioned pigeon hatch' this thread is the first result and the only one specific to pigeons. The others are general avian assists.
