    My pigeons built their nest on the floor

    yeah, that's probably what it is, I ran out of oyster shell about a month ago and haven't been able to get anymore yet.

    Pigeon's foot injured. Sprained?

    Today she seems to be doing better, putting more weight on it, but she walks on the side of that foot with it partially curled up like you do when you've broken a toe. I don't suppose there's anything you can do for a broken toe but I just hope it will heal right, and she won't be walking...

    Pigeon's foot injured. Sprained?

    I've been on a trip for a while and when I came back my hen who has been sitting on eggs for a week now was limping around on one foot. It doesn't seem to be broken, all the toes are pointing the right way, it's not swollen, and is the same temperature as the other one, but it does have a thin...

    My pigeons built their nest on the floor

    Yes, it is in a corner. The cage has roosts in it so I hung a towel up in the middle that covers the top part and also stapled a metal container onto the the roost above her head so if the others decide to sit up there they won't poop on her. Now she has a sort of apartment feel, with food and...

    My pigeons built their nest on the floor

    I was just worried the other pigeon might get over-bullied because the nest has no real ending place, or that he would break the eggs or something.

    My pigeons built their nest on the floor

    Is it okay to leave it like that? I feel like I read somewhere that it wasn't good to have them on a flat surface. The wire of the bottom is covered with straw, and they have piled more straw and leaves on top. The cage is elevated inside a run, but we're going on a trip in a few days, so I...

    Can someone please tell me how to tell if your pigeon has broken bones/is in pain?

    I was feeding my chickens and the pigeons were flying around and all the sudden our dog barked and rushed towards a flailing mass on the ground. At first I thought that a chicken had been caught by a hawk, but it was just one of the pigeons. I put her in a cage with food and water, but she's...

    Will my squabs ever be normal sized? Feeding issues!

    Yes, they're still feeding them, and I'm giving them enough food again. I wasn't really paying attention to them nearly as much as I normally do because of the test. Now they're about two weeks old and already have more shine on their necks then their two month old sibling. But they're still...

    Will my squabs ever be normal sized? Feeding issues!

    My pair had another clutch hatch about a week ago, and from day 3 to day 6 I barely fed them because I was busy with a major test. Now the squabs are still the size they were on the third or fourth day. Will they ever make up for it? or will they be smaller than they should be forever? Also, the...

    I'm new to pigeons and I have a few questions.

    Cool, laughingdog. I'm really sad right now because the fourth snake this year got one of the babies this morning. It's especially sad because the blacksnake wasn't even big enough to eat the squab, it just suffocated it. Every other snake the parents scared away and alerted us to it, and we...

    I'm new to pigeons and I have a few questions.

    OK. I don't know if the photos show it but one has a mostly white head with some black, and the other has a mostly black head with some white. So you're saying to breed each parent to one of it's babies, and keep doing that, so then if they get too inbred you can breed the two lines together? I...
