the incubation period of pigeon is 21 days not 17. i have observed that the pigeon incubate the eggs for 21 days and on 21th day the squabs are hatched out. if you have question please send me email.
good day, will my pigeon eggs spoil if they dont lie on them for the first day or two after laying?
Hi Chappy,
The pigeon eggs won’t spoil if the pigeons don’t sit on the eggs for the first few days. When birds lay their eggs they will lay one a day until they have a clutch of eggs and then the pigeon will sit on the eggs. It is only at the point of sitting on the eggs when the conditions are right that incubation will start. So the egg laid on the first day will still hatch at the same time as the egg laid on subsequent days!
Hope this helps. Good luck with the hatch.
Let me know how your pigeons get on. Are they wild pigeons or do you keep pigeons?
Kind regards
