    An update on Nugget- Nuggy is now 3 months old, and still a tiny little thing. I'd say about 1/2 the size of her siblings and parents. She goes flying with the rest of the flock, and has a big attitude to make up for her small size. She gets picked on a bit, but not too badly. Her hair style...

    Usually this pair puts out black and greys, so I was surprised by the red/brown one. That is likely the "adopted" one out of the bunch. The parents are some of my most "wild" type birds, and smaller on average, so a genetic throwback to whatever dove type they are from seems possible. He is also...

    Midget or miniature pigeon

    Hello! I have been raising pigeons for +10 years, and just recently have had a very strange new squab hatch out. The parents are a wild rock dove and homing pigeon mix, more wild than anything. They have been prolific at popping out a new set of babies as quickly as the last set fledged...
