Question
please could you tell me if it is possible to hatch pigeons in an incubator, and if so the techniqes and difficulties.
its just a thought, as i always seem to have so many fertile eggs and not enough sitters

Answer
Hi Peter,

I think it can be possible with the right equipment and settings. I have never tried to incubate eggs artificially, however, and so I don't have much advise to provide you with.

I have found a couple of links that might be beneficial to you:

I hope you can find what you are looking for. Sorry I could not be much more of a help!

Thanks,
Stacie
