    Well we sold one pair of giants out of the crate, and they went home with the birds Jen and Heather sold them. It was a quiet day, and at the end we sold two more giant girls to the gentleman next to us. The same gentleman also adopted out bantam NH Red. We came back home with more duck eggs.

    Housing three rescued bachelors together?

    It all depends on the birds. I currently have two "half brothers" living in a conure sized cage, roughly 20X21" floor space, with no issues, and my loft has several "segregation cages" that are 24X24X16 rabbit cages. One unit has 4 roller males and 1 helmet hen. We wintered them in this cage...

    Am getting Giant Runts!

    Sorry, just saw this. I'd suggest a general antibiotic and electrolites(sp?) for your male. Also if you have an avian vet, have your bird checked out and at the very least have him in quarentine, JIC he has something that could pass to the other birds. That's what I have, hope it helps Chris

    Pigeon leg band size?

    We used 8mm/size 8 for our racing homers(NPA bands) and size 11/11mm for our giant homers, when we had homers. That being said, i have a roller in my flock who is banded with an AU size 7 band so I'd say it all depends on the size of your birds and how they compare.
