When do pigeons lay their eggs after mating??


Hi, my pigeons(homer and lowis) mated about 2 weeks ago, and now, it seems like they're on eggs. How long is the time from mating, to laying the eggs?? And also, how long is it from incubation, to the egg hatching?? I heard that it was a bout 18 days, but i don't know??

Apprecitae it!!

Thanks!!

They can lay eggs anywhere from 8 days to ?????.........whenever the hen decides to lay........some take longer than others.
Babies hatch 18 to 19 days after the egg is laid. In colder weather, they seem to take closer to 19 days but in warm weather it's closer to 18 days.

Should clarify a little.............if the hen doesn't sit on the FIRST egg, then both eggs will hatch 18 to 19 days AFTER the SECOND egg is laid. Some hens sit tight on the first egg, some don't....if she DOES sit on the first egg, then the eggs may hatch 2 or maybe 1 day apart.
So, if she sits on the first egg...........hatch day is 18 days after the first egg.
If she DOESN'T sit, then both eggs will hatch 18 days after the SECOND egg is laid.
Got all that????????? LOL

the female came out to eat, and the male was sitting on it, now the female is back on, and the male is off the eggs.

Is that normal??

This time of day, the hen would be sitting on the eggs. Are these young birds by any chance?

they usually lay a week or so after... but mother nature is not written in stone...so they lay when they are ready basically. the first post in this thread is from 2008, but the info is still nice to know.
