    Is there a demand for handfed and tame owl pigeons?

    Is there a demand for handfed and tame owl pigeons? I want to get into the hobby of breeding German owl pigeons and handfeeding and raising them but I want to make sure people will buy them from me. Do they sell well?

    Is this sour crop??????!!!!!

    Update: I was able to flush out my baby pigeon's crop with warm water and baking soda. For the next few days, should I feed it soft foods instead of hard seeds? Should I give Kaytee Exact handfeeding formula normally used for baby parrots, or should I mix turkey starter mash with warm water?

    Do mice proof cages/coops even exist?

    I'm planning on raising Texan Pioneer pigeons in an elevated cage off the ground on my concrete driveway or inside my garage. If I want to avoid rodents how do I avoid mice this time? Do remove the seeds every evening? How do I design their cage? Any ideas? Thanks

    Should I get another pigeon?

    I am having a hard time deciding if I should get a second pigeon. Should I get a second pigeon if I already have one? Or should I stop already? What if I get a second pigeon and then I want a third pigeon?

    Where do you buy your fabrics now since Joann is out of business? Hobby Lobby, Amazon, etc.? Michaels does not really carry any fabric, but only very little supplies. Where do you go for your fabrics?
