He is beautiful! How do you keep him from flying over the fence, or is it netted on the top and I am just not seeing it?

Prayers to you both, Zaz. May the operation go smoothly and may he make a speedy and complete recovery!

Adorable!

Lol!

Piper is so beautiful! Are those pheasant feathers in his nest? Pigeons are so fragile yet so amazingly tough. One of my blue bar Racing Homers is still healing up from a nasty beating by a Cooper's hawk, darned hawk had him pinned down right in front of the loft and was pecking holes in...

Thank you so much for taking them under your wing and giving them a chance for survival! So sorry you lost one of the precious pigeon babies But very glad the other baby is doing well and has found his/her way into the arms of someone who is so caring! Name... maybe Rakkifazu? (means...

Too cute! Brings back memories of baby geese hatched years ago - I would follow the mother geese to watch the recently hatched goslings, and when it was nap time some of the more friendly and curious goslings would come over to me to snuggle in my clothes for their nap.

I agree with the others, your pigeons (assuming they are all well-feathered and in good health) should be fine without additional heating based on your description of where they are being housed. Just feed them well and include corn in their feed (whole corn, or if your birds are a bit more...

Yes, only once. Very... strange for ice cream but not as bad as it sounds!

In Sushi? Yum. For Peafowl treats? They say Yum. In anything else... Yuck. Lobster ice cream?

I have not seen my chickens eat the hay, but providing them with alfalfa to eat the little dried green leaves out of actually seems to cut the overall cost of feed by just a little bit. By eating the alfalfa their regular grain and pellet feed intake seems to have decreased by about 10% - when...

Ah, got it. I was thinking really big bales for that price - the local feed store here only sells the big heavy 3 twine bales.
