Nope leave the egg where it is, may hatch the day or the morra,

[Guest IB]

Sometimes happens that pair sit rather than stand over the first laid egg, and it hatches out a day earlier than the second. You'll know better if you can hear, see or feel any movement in it.

Leave it where its at for a couple of days,then if it doesn't hatch replace it with a warm pot egg for at least a week,this will help support the youngen in the nest and may aid in stopping splayed legs.

hold the egg close to your ear, and you should hear the squab moving inside m8

[Guest Owen]

It would be quite normal for a squab to hatch two or three days after the first egg has hatched. If it were me I would be very suspicious of a squab that hatched late like that because it might be a weak youngster or possibly have something wrong with it. As you know, pigeon racing is too hard to bother with weaklings so as far as I am concerned, I would rather have one youngster single reared that two youngsters with one a weakling. Sorry if I sound hard but I have found that it is better to get rid of anything that looks a bit slow to develop or shows any sign of weakness. Later on you will want a nice even kit of youngsters able fly for hours and become tough and fit. Weaklings will drag the team down and just a nuisance.
