    Spread black to recessive red pairing?

    Thank you for the info! I just got these birds recently and Ive never worked with spread before but from what I've read I thought spread ash red turned birds turn out an off white color because spread takes the tail bar color and covers the bird with that? I am a bit confused about how it works..

    can adove raise 2 different aged young?

    The bigger one would get fed more and out compete the littler one. Ive seen it happen with pigeons that are only two days apart from the same parents, that one got a head start and got most of the food even though the parents were very experienced and great care takers. I helped out by doing...

    Adding Giant Runt to chicken coop

    I second what jak said. Best to section you coop so that they are separate. It can be done, but is especially risky with large breed chickens. Better safe than sorry in my opinion.

    Hi there! Ok, here's the situation: I'm working on a breeding project with very limited stock and I'm wondering about who I can breed to who.

    dove thinks i'm its mate 0_0

    sounds like your she is probably a he, I've had males try that sort of thing but not hens.. also males are more inclined to do the courtship behaviors you describe.. i would suggest getting a partner for your dove, they are generally happier that way, and she/he should stop making advances on you.

    Embarking A Breeding Project

    Lozuufy thank you :) Ducky, for off topic things it's best to make your own separate thread. Not meaning to get down on you it just tends to make things confusing and you will get more answers to your question if you post separately
