    Cold nights

    I lost 2 squabs to the cold last night. It is that time of year that if you have late nesting pairs. You may have to supply warmth to aid in their development. This worked for me in past years.

    Lost Racers

    I recently trapped a lost racer for a pigeon fancier who is out of province. I got in contact with the owner and he is to pick up the bird shortly. On the upside I will meet a fancier I have never met before. I have been notified of 2 more lost racing pigeons who may also need capturing. Still...

    Pigeon Birth Control

    Has anyone of our members employed this method? Something that was brought to my attention for controlling the population in your loft was submerging newly laid eggs in corn oil. This will stop the development of the air sac and hence stop the egg from hatching.

    Keeping Chickens in Run

    My run is about 5+- ft high with no top. If you clip the feathers on one wing of each bird it will help. On some birds you may even have to clip a few secondary flight feathers. One wing throws the bird off balance and is more effective than trimming equal amounts off both wings is my...

    Squab Death

    I lost a squab today. I have seen it coming for the last few days really. One of my dominate male birds was taken by an owl when my son closed up the loft a bit early one night (I had done a release about 100 miles away for a wedding). The female was then left to raise 2 squabs on her own which...

    Pigeon Nest Ring

    Lately I have a few Pigeon Pairs refusing to use the nest bowl. I have come up with a plan to form a ring with a diameter of about 10 inches. The ring will be made from a piece of rubber hose with a wooden dowel to hold both ends together. Hoping it does the trick.
