I agree they do look like ♂ & ♀ with the male pure white on the left of the photo. That being said when it comes to gender in pigeons I yet to meet a fancier that never made a mistake. There are a lot of variables involved when breeding pigeons from temperature, day light hours, feed, access to grit, and clean water to name just a few. I personally think your eggs will soon arrive. With just a bit more patience on your part. Records or bands are the only accurate method of keeping track of a pigeons age any thing else is only ball park. I still believe you hen is just a bit of a late bloomer. Even more convinced after clicking on and enlarging the photo.They look big to be honest they both should be around a year plus old and im sure there actions is a male and female
You are correct the pure white is a male how do you think the chicks would look
Honeymoon period. lolStill no sign off eggs there still mating on a 24/7 basis but still no eggs !!
What works for me is I have a feeder of hen laying pellets, a separate feeder of whole corn, clean fresh water every day, and crushed oyster shells 24/7 (the crushed oyster shells are probably not necessary as they are included in the laying pellets in a perfect world I also believe in overkill when it comes to the squab egg shells.) My routine was to feed my birds twice a day for 15 minutes but I have 66 trips around the sun now and bouncing out to the loft twice a day in the winter with arctic and blizzard conditions is not as easy for me as it once was.Still no sign off eggs there still mating on a 24/7 basis but still no eggs !!
