Based off the orange eyes (brown gene pigeons have pearl-colored eyes) maybe the brown ones are dilute blue? With some kind of modifier gene like indigo or something... it's hard to tell though cause I've never seen pigeons that color before. They look very beautiful
Just for fun I'll enter a couple. There have been so many hawks around I can't let my pigeons fly free anymore though so they might all have fencing in the background.
Yes, most of my pigeons now are brown :p
I'll try to get some good ones, but they are molting so not the most photogenic...
I'm sorry to hear that, but I do understand sometimes things just don't benefit our lives anymore and it's best to take a break or stop completely to be able to move forward with our lives. I wish you the best in whatever else you decide to do.
We use Green Mountain organic feed for our animals. At our farm supply I think a 50lb bag of layer pellets is $26-$28. We only eat food grown without chemicals so it's important for us to have the eggs from our hens be organic as well, even if it costs more. We also grow some of our own food and...
Sounds like a lost domestic pigeon that's very hungry. If you have any seeds around you could give it a handful and that may be enough for it to have the energy to get home. Might need a small dish of water too.
Um, just more chickens and pigeons I think. A LOT more :D Oh, actually my bunnies did have babies, there are no words to describe the cuteness.
Are they doing the year thingys still? I just assumed they didn't do those anymore.
Oh this is so cute, normally I try not to read turkey-related threads (too far addicted but can't get any til next year = torture) but this... this... um, lost my train of thought for a moment . Oh, right, this is adorable, hope she does a good job and doesn't have to swim after them if they...
Ok so then she should be a hen (isa brown roosters would be white, hens red/brown).
Adding some calcium and vitamin D3 to the diet may help, it sounds like she is growing too fast though for her bones. Try giving a feed with lower protein levels to slow her growth rate a bit.
Here's a link...
I think that is Pie-bald (Pied-bald?) which is pigment missing from the feathers and when there are white feathers around the eye it can cause one or both to lose their pigment as well, showing the dark beneath the iris.
