My chickens DO NOT poop in their nesting boxes :-)

I have some extra pigeons to sale or trade. Do I need to register to participate? I want a hen that lays white eggs if anyone wants to trade or sale.

I installed the nest box last weekend. I had a hen acting weird so I checked the egg box - nothing. I went to get some straw today to put in the box. When I opened the nest box to put the straw in, there was our first egg. How cool that she actually laid it where she was supposed to!

They look so tiny! And, they are beautiful! How old are they?

Thanks! The camera is smarter than I am. It is a Canon 50D.

I had a barred owl get into my pigeon coop last year. It went in through the trap door and couldn't get out. I had to start putting a piece of wood over the trap so it couldn't get in. Click below to see the video. I released the owl - they had babies in the woods - I could hear them at night.

They both turned out to be males. I am bummed because I wanted to keep them...

Cheyenne will not want to leave her new friend in the fall & Hera will be too big to fit in her backpack.

I just posted about how I had relocated some black snakes after attempts to eat squeakers. This was in the loft when i got home today. I lost 6 homer squeakers. I gotta plug some holes...

What kind of pigeons are you thinking about and how many?

The grit accumulates in their gizzard and it helps them pulverize their food. I keep grit in cups for my pigeons (who don't get out of the coop) along with crushed oyster shells. However, I haven't given my chickens any grit because they have the run of the fenced-in back yard during the day...

Mine just had some left over snapper & shrimp. I remember as a kid I thought it was weird that my grandma's chickens loved the fried chicken that was part of their flock just that morning...

Thanks again!

I think this is a bantam - it came from the standard bin but it is much smaller. Thanks!

BIRD ONE BIRD TWO Thanks!

They are really pretty! Thanks for the ID.

My pigeons go nuts - cooing an moving around so much they wake me up and I go get the snake out and relocate it. It has happened twice this year and I woke up before the snake got any squeakers. Here is a pic when I wasn't so lucky - they were making so much noise that I thought a coyote had...

Hi Everyone! I have been lurking for months and decided to jump in. We bought 13 chicks at the Tractor Supply store in March and have raised them successfully. I have figured out what most of them are but I still don't know about this one. What breed and gender is it? Thanks!
