    Whole corn vs Cracked corn

    Who feeds cracked corn in their feed mix? Anyone have any issues with the birds getting sour crop or any other issues? Iv always used whole corn because I was told/read cracked corn gave them sour crop but just curious as to how true this was.

    Moved again, new loft this time.

    So we ended up moving again due to a really bad school system for our kids and I didn’t have enough time to remove the old loft so it is time to build a new one. Sadly have to do a bit smaller on this one but hoping it has some better features than the other. My old one was 6x10 with 2 sections...

    Band question

    Has anyone used the ipb bands? Are they numbered? Did you like them? Looking for banding options for the future that wouldn’t require me to be a member to somewhere. Although I may want to join one, but just looking for options. Thanks for any help/input

    Feed brand

    The person I’m getting my pigeons from feeds his birds purgain pigeon feed but I can only find browns pigeon feed locally. Anyone have experience with either of these brands? I’ll post a pic of the feed that he feeds with the ingredients but the browns isn’t as high in protein, crude fat or fiber.

    Cornish rock or white orphington

    Got these chicks from tractor supply, the tag said orphington. Naturally I assumed buff orphington as it’s the only one I have seen. Well now they are white and triple the size of our other birds which has me believing maybe they are Cornish rocks? Any input would be awesome. Thanks!

    Does everyone feed once or twice daily? Have seen people doing both, or is it just personal preference?

    With all the craziness in the world right now, I’ve actually been able to get a head start on building my loft these past few days. Overall size at the moment is 6x10, but doing a 4x6 breeder section behind the window area so I will have a 6x6 section for my flyers/racers. Both sections will...

    Perch style preference?

    Does everyone prefer box perches, v perches, or I saw some made out of a 2x4 with the corners chopped off. I attached a pic of an example of the 2x4 one. I have read that the box perches makes it easier to catch the birds but if you have show birds could damage the tail feathers. And the v...

    Nesting box question

    I got a little restless this winter and decided to build some nesting boxes for my birds arriving this spring. I decided to offset the doorways and am just now conjoining the two sets of four and realized that two sets of the doors are pretty darn close. Are they to close?
