mmm...I have no experience with Pigeons, but since no one is answering, I'm guessing they don't either. After all, this is a site for raising chickens, not pigeons!

Not that I'm criticizing you, of course! It's fine to post about pigeon eggs here, but don't expect people to answer a pigeon egg-hatching question as quickly as they do with a chicken egg-hatching question.

Try looking it up on Google, since I have no experience with pigeons!

Good luck!

I have never hatched a pigeon egg but I did use to take the babies out of the nests of the barn pigeons and bring them home and raise them by hand and then add them to my coop.I had no experience with it other than that.I use to feed them bread soaked in milk and kind of force feed them some until they got the hang of it coming from me.All of them survived and grew up so it worked.

Gosh, I cannot imagine raising a pigeon without a momma bird! Good luck! I often have baby pigeons but my birds raise their own. I'll be interested in how you do.
