"Winter will be here soon. It's time to cut back on what you want to keep and what you want to break ice for."
"Agreed!"
...Then I agreed to buy out someone's pigeon flock. I wish I knew what was wrong with my head.
I haven't picked up the flock yet and pictures were sent to me. Sometime by the end of the week I'll get to drive out of town and bring them home. I'm really hoping they'll be as much fun as our parentally-challenged dove pair was...only these need to be much better parents.
There are a few mixed breeds in the lot then some purebreds. Does anyone recognize the breeds in there so I can dive into researching them? I'm guessing I need separate pens if I want to keep them pure. How long will the hen store semen before you can expect her to have pure chicks? Can I even separate them out when they have been flocking together like this?
So many questions. Time to become an armchair pigeon expert in a day.
