    Dove Hatchlings

    Quote: This is what it says: "Crops tend to be especially well developed in pigeons and game birds." Nothing about them feeding crop milk. I am done on this subject. I am finished debating this back and forth. I have my opinion and you have yours. Case closed for me.

    Name change again! The 'other fowl egg' swap chain!!!

    Quote: I think the hen is a Cinnamon Pearl, the Silver is possibly a Silver Red Breast but I can't see his bib well and the one next to him is not a Cinnamon Blue Face but I can't say for sure what it is. The one in front might be a Cinnamon Blue Face. I can't really tell well about anyone...

    Name change again! The 'other fowl egg' swap chain!!!

    Quote: He may still lose the splotch then next time he molts but maybe not. Maybe he will be unique and keep it! Cinnamon Red Breast looks just like the regular Red Breast but lighter. A regular Cinnamon looks just like a Normal Wild Type but lighter. Make sense? Cinnamon dilutes the bird out.

    Dove Hatchlings

    Here is a quote from an article about Doves: "There are nearly 300 species of doves and pigeons in the world. 12 species have been documented in Texas. The mourning dove and the white-winged dove are the most common species. Common domestic pigeons - or rock dove - are not native to North...

    explain something about dove to me.

    They are very sweet and about one of the only pet birds who will never bite you. I bring mine to schools and churches for kids to play with, hold and pet. They are very tolerant of everyone. I also enjoy their cooing and how they interact with their mate. They are a very peaceful bird. I used to...

    Dove Hatchlings

    You don't even have to use a nipple. They can drink it out of a small bowl. They will get more that way. Just mix up your formula and heat it some but not too hot. Then dip their beaks into the formula and they will do the rest once they know there is formula in the dish. Don't drown their beaks...

    Dove Hatchlings

    Some people really tick me off!! I can't believe this lady would give away chicks like that! They need their parents for quite a bit longer. Plus Doves need crop milk to begin with. Good luck in raising them up duck. I hope they make it. Make sure they drink it up don't force feed them. They...

    Name change again! The 'other fowl egg' swap chain!!!

    Quote: Hey shelley, you are getting good!! The first one is a Cinnamon Red Breast hen though. She is very pretty! You are right about the Red Breasted male. Plus the Blue Face is right on the last pic. The one in the pic happens to be a hen. Your male has a white splotch? Usually the double...

    *~*Button Pictures*~*

    Quote: Nope! That is where Button Quail genetics get interesting. They are kind of like that box of chocolates that Forrest Gump talked about. You never know what you are going to get! He will definitely have some but his hen will contribute some genes there too. I had a pair that was a Red...

    *~*Button Pictures*~*

    Yes, the reason they are called Blue Face is that the males are blue from their foreheads all the way down their fronts. The males in this variety will have reddish feathers too. Lots of people think the Blue Face male is a hen as they have no bib. My first "hen" was a Blue Face male before I...

    *~*Button Pictures*~*

    I see I am being paged, LOL!! In this picture from upper top left there is a Normal, then Ivory, Golden Pearl, dark one Blue Face, another Ivory, another Golden Pearl, Silver and Ivory in bottom right corner. Those are the main colors you have. Once they get more mature I can help you with...

    What color is the Button?

    Quote: There is such an extreme from Red Breasted to what is called Darth Vader and lots in between. If you notice on this chick there is still down on the front of it that is yellow. Maybe that is what is making you think there is more white or really cream than there is? Either way it is...

    What color is the Button?

    Actually it is a Red Breasted. Darth Vader is a term used to describe Red Breasted in the extreme where the females are mostly cream with very little brown flecking and the males have a solid black head with no thin white line for a bib. This one appears to be a regular Red Breasted. Right now...

    Mixed ages/sizes in brooder?

    I had a Coturnix brood some Button babies before too. It was adorable!! She was the same age as them but they thought she was their mother. She even started laying at 5 weeks. I think she was eager to start her own little family after that experience!! I had a Button chick with a Serama...

    Doves, darn it, pair or two ladies?

    Yes, you can ship Doves. They are one of the birds including most poultry that are legal to ship through the post office. I am thinking it would be about $35-40 to ship and I would probably ask about $20 for him since he is a Silkie and a proven father. I think it would be best to warm up a...

    Doves, darn it, pair or two ladies?

    Too bad we weren't closer to each other as I have a Silkie Ringneck Male who would love to be a dad again. I have to throw their eggs away as he lives with his mom. I could ship him to you but not sure if you would want to go that route. He sure is a nice guy!

    Doves, darn it, pair or two ladies?

    If you got two eggs in one day you have two females. Plus if you are not seeing the bow cooing you have two females. The males do it lots of times during the day. I am pretty positive that you have two females as a pair would have had some babies for duck. They are quite prolific! I was sold a...
