new racing pigeons and eggs in my Lofts ??

[mobeasto123]

Hi there, I just got 6 tagged racing pigeons.. I have a Kind of redrose Loft design with an aviary in front.. I added 2 crate on the side to serve as a nest and maybe a couple of pigeon will form and lay eggs in it.. NoW I just cannot Identify sex and if there is a couple in my loft but I had 3 eggs in 2 days.. They were on the bottom of the loft I put them back in the crates but no one seem to cover them.. So now I don't know what to do..

How can Identify the couple and the male and female.. What should I do with the eggs..

Should I put them In cardboard box with a lamp to make them hatch in 17-19 days...

Thanks

David

I'd just wait til they settled down and had more eggs. If you try hatching them, you will then have to raise them. Not an easy job from day 1. Give them a little time to adjust. They will lay more. When you move eggs they often will abandon them.

Ditto on what jay3 has said.. you will have plenty more eggs when they get settled.. and can raise them themselves.
