After the eggs are dropped, the pigeons will now go ahead and incubate the eggs. As they were already protecting the eggs, they will now start protecting them more than before. Just like raising a baby, the female pigeon now incubates the eggs and sits on the eggs all day and the male pigeon protects the eggs and female from outside of the nest and acts as a shield.
When one of them goes for food or any other necessities, the other one will replace with it and continue incubating the eggs. The protection is so strict that no other pigeon is able to enter. If a pigeon attempts to enter, you will see it encountering with the male pigeon.
The male pigeon incubates the eggs in the daytime when the female pigeon usually goes out for food. And the female pigeon returns and incubates the eggs all night. The same routine continues for the next day and is repeated until the eggs hatch. This cycle continues for 17 – 19 days but after 5 – 7 days of incubation, you should check the eggs if they are fertile or not. You can check it from the steps below.
However, if the pigeon abandons the eggs or dies, the eggs can only survive for 5 at most 7 days without incubation. Longer than that, the eggs will be wasted and won’t hatch. And keeping the eggs in a warm place or refrigerator won’t work, unlike chicken eggs that people do.
The only way these eggs would hatch is either by putting the eggs under another pigeon or in an incubator machine.
Pam please tell Donnie these Hansennes do indeed have a lot of class. Large wings like I've never seen like maybe on a duck or owl. They have a lovely prance, and their Roman noses takes the cake. Love it! Keep up the good breeding Donnie.
Dear Don,
Just sending a gift for my appreciation for getting such nice Sion birds from you. When I get some youngsters from them, I will send you some photos. I am still planning on purchase another hen and cock. Have a good breeding season with your birds.
Received birds this morning here in Missouri. They are safe and both beautiful.
Beautiful female pigeon. Lovely mix of colors, fether quality and great posture. I figured her picture wasn't the best pose. The male is impressive and very masculine looking and I'm happy to say they are calm and get along very well together. Thanks again they are gorgeous....
The birds arrived today got them all tucked in the loft. You saved the best for last I think there nice birds ,,only sorry I didn't buy a couple of the other hens. Thanks alot
Hello. I received the birds today they look great. Thank you very much.
The Hen is here! Awesome bird & I can feel the power just holding her. She is very calm pigeon & that is always a plus. Thanks so much!
Hi this is Nate from Wisconsin. I just wanted to let you know the Andalusian cockbird made it here in good shape today. Thanks again!
Hi Don, birds are adapting well. I like their presentaion & calmness. Looks like they will fit in with my birds. I see what you mean about the BB. We'll see how he produces. Might b a genetic thing & go away when crossed with and unrelated hen.
Regards
Jim
