Pigeons usually lay two eggs at a time.
The first egg comes out, then after two days, the second one.
Both parents take turns sitting on the eggs – the father in the day, the mother at night.
Eggs hatch in about 18 days.
To keep the eggs safe, always make sure:
The nest is dry and clean
There’s no stress or noise around
The pigeons have good food and fresh water
WAP Tip for Farmers:
If you see no eggs after 10 days of mating, check the health of your pair – they may need rest or vitamins.
