    Urgent: possible abandonment of squabs

    Hello. Long story made short, one of my hens turned out to be a male. Mated and they layed two eggs, I let her sit on them thinking they were infertile. I candled them out of curiosity and saw development. Her nest was on the ground, and this morning the babies hatched. I mounted a box to the...

    The Pigeon Palaces and Dove Dorms of BYC

    Thank you! Yes it’s new... I try to scrape as much poop off the perches as I can whenever it builds up, so we shall see how long that lasts. Your aviary is beautiful! I love how open it is! I wish mine were a bit wider, but space was limited :’) Also, your little pigeon family is precious!

    Here’s my quaint little aviary. I plan to paint it and spruce it up, so these are the before pictures. (It’s usually a lot brighter inside, it’s just an overcast day)

    The Pigeon Palaces and Dove Dorms of BYC

    Welcome! I have made this thread specifically to show off your lofts, aviaries, and other setups for the pigeons and doves of BYC. The chickens have their stunning and elaborate coops flaunted, so why can't we do the same? It's simple... Just post some pictures of your setup (and maybe show...

    I will make it! I'll add my own aviary pictures once I clean it up 🧹

    Thanks guys! Hmmm off topic, but is there a topic where people can show off their aviaries on the dove and pigeon section? If not, should I make one? I was thinking that others could get aviary/loft inspiration like people get for their chickens from the coop pages.

    Ahh got it! On the subject of weather, do they do well in heat/humidity? I will have a little bird bath for them by summer, but do they have difficulty during southern summers?

    That’s a good idea! I know there’s also concern of frostbite. Will their little feet be protected from it with the covering?

    Two out of four walls are completely sheltered. Only one wall of full wire, and then the door, which takes up a wall. The aviary is in a corner beside a large shed, backed against a garage. Not much wind gets to them, so I guess they’re good! Thanks-

    Question: what temperatures become too cold for them? I’m in the southeast, so it never gets below zero, but it can still get cold. I have a smaller little temporary shelter I can put them in when it gets cold. Thanks!
