It is late for pigeons to be breeding hoping things work out for you (I have a pair on eggs now as well )

Yes I was really surprised when I got some eggs..I got them at the livestock auction here 3 weeks ago.

After they hatch would it be ok to bring them inside or will they not feed it if I move them

If you tamper with the nest chances are the parents will abandon them. Things should be fine for the first week because they can cover the young fairly easy.
I move the squabs into this Styrofoam cooler once the squabs became too large to incubate and it worked for me (I was lucky some times you end up hand feeding them.)

Ok..thanks ..I'm just gonna,leave them there when they hatch and they havnt hatched yet ..should hatch around 6th. I candled them and seen a little movement..I'm just a worry wart like a little Banty..lol. The momma bird beats my hands when I look at them but gets back on nest.

Well today while feeding my pigeons momma got off of her eggs to eat and they both have pipped the shell a little..do I still just give them there regular seed mixture that I've been giving them

yh it should be fine just increase the amount a little as the chicks grow up

Does your seed mix look like this as this is the main mix that i give to my birds along with some growers pellet and other bits and bobs

If it is not broken do not try to fix it. Your pigeons are content enough to breed in your loft you must be doing things right is my opinion.
