    Baby Pigeon Diet

    Hello All; I have an almost 2 week old baby pigeon that I have been hand feeding since 1 day old. He was abandoned by his parents which I have. He is doing great!

    My ducks are dying!

    I am thinking genetics too as all birds were related. Our resident poultry exert at work just retired. I was going to ask him today. One other poultry/waterfowl guy at work I can ask and see if he has ever had this happen.

    Are You Tied Down by Your Birds? What about Vacations?

    I have been away just shy of 2 weeks. I left LOTS of extra food and water for my gang and they did just fine. Sadly, I do not have anyone that can come by and look in on things. We just got back from a week long trip and again, all was well. Did I worry? Yes! Cindy

    Introducing goslings to broody goose?

    I did this very same thing with "Spike". She sat faithfully on eggs that would never hatch. I bought her 2 babies and put them under her one night and took the eggs away. Instant motherhood! Took to them right away.
