If you come here asking for advice to help you with your baby you should never disrespect those who are trying to help.

Having said that in order to hatch an egg you would need to purchase an incubator with an egg turner, all bird parents turn their eggs at least 3 times a day and provide the correct humidity for the eggs. You would never egg and egg to hatch , unless it was due to hatch within at least a couple of days when it was taken, just by using a lite for warmth.
Just hatched babies are very DIFFICULT to raise, they need to be kept in the correct enviroment and fed the correct diet and consistency of that food.
All in all its very difficult and can end in heart break with a dead baby.

I suggest if you really are interested in pigeons to by a pair let them raise a baby you can still handle the baby while the parents care for it, this way you will have a wonderful pet and let the parents do all the work.

Or adopt a handicapped pigeon that is tame.
