    What is your favorite breed of Pigeon (or dove) and WHY?

    First, a little misc. background for my survey: Okay, I know this seems a little silly to some, but there are SO many breeds of pigeons these days I find it hard to be very selective in a favorite. I have raised pigeons on and off since I was a kid on the farm (literally), but most of them...

    Coop Floor -- WHAT SIZE OF MESH WORKS BEST?

    I'm building a new (tractor) coop that will have a mesh floor. Anyone know of a good size of mesh for hen's feet? I know if I go too small the cr-p tends to ball up on the mesh, but too large and hens get their nails caught in them. What's your experience? Any suggestions? thanks,
