30 days

I love pigeons, I have hundreds of them.
First egg hatches after 30 days then the second egg follows next day.

When both chicks comes out, the first one gets more feed from the parents as he is big and he reaches first. So, when the parents are ready to feed them, just take the first chick out and hide for while till the second chick gets enough feed.

Some Very Basic Pigeon Facts

Pigeons mate for life and rear their broods together, although if one dies the other will take a new mate. Once the simple nest is built, the female lays an egg and then another a day or so later. The incubation period for common pigeons is 17 to 19 days. The female sits on the egg from late afternoon through the night until about 10AM. The male then takes over and does the day shift. Once the eggs hatch, both parents feed the young squabs. The first food is pigeon milk or crop milk, a cheesy substance that appears in the crops of the parents at hatching time and is fed for a week or so. Then the adults start regurgitating partially digested grains for the young. By the time the squabs are ready to fly, about 4 weeks, the father is doing most of the feeding. The squabs are fed for another week to 10 days after they are free-flying.

Sagarunkin is correct. Domestic pigeons (C. livia) eggs hatch in 18-19 days. That's counting from the day of the laying of the second egg.
