  1. You frighten me a bit when you say your bird has "neck problems", if you mean that her head is beginning to twist, then she may have paramyxovirus (PMV1) or paratyphoid.  In either case, I wouldn't rear the eggs anyway since the egg and therefore the youngster might be infected from bacteria in the oviduct.

    If she has PMV-1, definitely vaccinate her (you can find the vaccine at various of the pigeon supply companies).  The survival rate is moderate and she may need supplemental care for a while until she recovers fully.  

    (Some supply companies are:

    If she has paratyphoid, you can either check with your veterinarian (veterinary surgeon) to see if he can do a culture test to see which antibiotics the salmonella is resistant to.  If you can't get to a vet because of whatever reason, and if you are in a country that allows it, you might want to put the bird on about a 1500 mg/U.S. gallon dose of ampicillian (which is a good broad spectrum antibiotic)  for ten days.  

    As to your original question - pigeons usually lay eggs about 10 days from mating.
