    Proper care for adopted pigeons?

    Sad news, I found the chick dead this evening. I’m guessing the pigeon Mom couldn’t feed it and it didn’t know what to do. I should have pulled it, but I was curious to see how it would go anyway. My bad.

    Proper care for adopted pigeons?

    Thanks. Pigeon momma doesn’t like me to mess with her much, but I’ll try to get a video. I’ve been waiting to see if the other egg might hatch, I think there is only one, but I haven’t caught her out of the nest yet, to be sure. I do have 3 d’uccle eggs in my incubator, day 13 I think. I...

    Proper care for adopted pigeons?

    @bhawk-23 thought you might enjoy seeing this. I noticed an empty egg shell this morning, and when I picked it up, it was obviously a hatched egg. I found the culprit. So now a pigeon has hatched a porcelain d’uccle chick, with at least one more egg. I have no idea how this is going to go! Lol

    My roosters crow constantly. I really have too many, especially too many serama roosters, but they coexist, so I keep them anyway. They are so cute, I find it hard to rehome them. I’m not sure what the recommended area is for pigeons. Maybe @Qwerty3159 might know? Mine seem to tolerate what I...

    I made a couple videos, thought they might give you some ideas. Please excuse the mess, it’s just becoming spring enough for me to start some spring cleaning. One of the videos shows a mom feeding some squeakers, they are amazing to me. The whole section that the pigeons and d’uccle are in was...

    Proper care for adopted pigeons?

    There is a picket fence around the perimeter with chicken wire stapled to it, then netting above the fence, up to the top, and over the top. Can’t find good pics at the moment, I can get a video tomorrow But this is from my camera inside the pen. The pigeons are on the far right side, and 2 more...

    Proper care for adopted pigeons?

    I have a trap door that I can open to let my pigeons out into the net-covered duck pen sometimes. It was pretty simple to add. It folds upward and just has a simple eye hook on top to keep it closed.

    Proper care for adopted pigeons?

    I agree, pigeon information is much less readily available, compared to chickens and other fowl. There are literally hundreds of species of pigeons! I would suggest finding a breed that would fit in with your setup. Most pigeon breeds fly well, so any loose areas in your netting would need to...
