These two have decided to have babies. I'm excited because they're my two favorite pigeons, especially the white one.
@Amer any guesses on what colors the babies might be? Could they have another pure white one?
Took some pics of my oddball pigeons today. These things breed like rabbits, l started off with 5 last year and now I have don't even know how many. Lol.
Anyone know what colors these two are?
They're both looking great still, and should hatch on the tenth I think. One looks internally pipped already though, so I wondered if it could be early or not.
I definitely will. I hand raised both the mom and dad from since they were a week old, and they'll both fly to my arm/eat out of my hand/let me pet them, etc. They're extremely friendly. When I went to check the nest she just made some little cooing sounds, and let me lift her up. Same with the...
Ok! I'm not sure what I could use as a fake egg. I have some old Bobwhite eggs, maybe I could use one of those.
She's been sitting on the egg well all day, and the male is actually on it right now so fingers crossed. I still haven't see him mount her at all, so we'll see if it's fertile...

Ohhh I get it.
That makes sense, I just read it wrong the first time.
I'm so excited to learn along the way! This will be a fun new experience I think.
Ah, ok!
If that happens would it be better to just incubate the eggs myself?
I feel like I could probably successfully raise them, but I'd rather not try if I don't have to, haha.
I can't believe how excited I am over this, lol!
I'm really surprised by how much I like the little birds. Never...
Hmm, interesting.
Why does it make the incubation go slower?
I feel bad for my poor little girl taking full time.
I could pull a baby after a few days and hand raise him. I was hoping to get a friendly one anyway. I definitely don't want to lose any, so if that happens I'll try to help the...
