Thanks, Coco! I just wouldn't think they would go through molt this time of year as it's just getting COLD. Is this normal?

Hi all... I'm hoping someone can give me some advice! We are having our first hard freeze in Oregon and my pigeon is losing neck feathers like crazy... if she wasn't in a cage, I would think something grabbed her (But she is secure). Her neck looks half naked at the moment, and she just looks...

Thanks everyone! I thought originally she looked VERY much like the parlor roller. But she since has learned how to fly, sort of. She can, but not far and not well... she prefers to walk and is so very sweet! She has begun laying eggs, 3 years after we found her. She is always very proud to...

Thanks for the info, Coco!! I now have some searching to do for a nice male for her!

Nice looking birds Coco! I wish I had more room, I'd have several more!

Thanks for the replies! Now I just need to find friend for her... Any advise on introducing a male? I am not familiar with pigeons except in learning to feed and house her... what type of nest do they like? I have a box for her and fill it with straw and she still lays on the cage floor... I...

I have tons of doves that come in and eat her droppings, she is slightly larger than they are. I believe them to be Eurasian Collared doves... if this helps!

Sorry... NO, no bands and she is and always has been VERY friendly and loves to be loved on! I assume she was raised a pet and was very young when we acquired her as she couldn't fly until about 2 months later. Here is more of a full body shot if it helps... as a size comparison in this pic she...

This little pigeon landed in our family BBQ 3 years ago on 4th of July. She didn't know how to fly well, and when she landed, she wouldn't leave our feet! The cats were stalking her, so I took her home to make sure she was safe... 3 years later (just a month ago) she began laying eggs so now...

Update... she had to be put out of her misery. Upon better inspection, she had a small puncture wound in her side... I suspect a hawk got her. I saw the hawk for the first time the morning before.

Doesn't feel like crop is abnormal... though I can feel her breast bone. I suspect she will not make it through the day.

Thank you, I'll check again!!

Not sure how to tell... but I feel absolutely NO lumps, bumps or anything that feels off. Felt her from head to toe. I've read a bit on Mareks, but they were all vaccinated as hatchlings...

Everything seems just fine on her body, vent is clean and no sign of any egg, no discharge from eyes or nose, feed is fine, no lice or bugs... she just is wasting away. Started out of NO WHERE yesterday. I gave her some electrolytes from a kitten bottle and she got some down... hopefully it...

My chicken is dying... she can't even hold her head up this morning! I sure wish anyone would chime in and help me figure this out!

I've seen them all flop over, stick their feet out and lay in the dirt when they're warm... this is not it. They ALWAYS take off when either me or my dogs get near, they aren't overly friendly and like to keep a distance away. She wouldn't budge, even though all her buddies took off into the...

It's right about 80 right now. I noticed the initial symptoms this morning though... it was nice and cool, around 47 I think. She is the only one so far, the rest are up and moving and seem totally normal.

Now it has become an emergency... I have taken her out of the coop and put her in a crate in the garage by herself. The others were trampling her and she won't get up, just flopped on her side with wings slightly hung low. I have some fruit, feed and fresh water for her and she dabbled just a...

I have 6 chickens that are about 3 months old. I noticed this morning one of my orphington chicks doesn't seem quite right. She will hang out on her "knees" a lot, flop down into half lay often and when I put her away this afternoon, she was holding one wing out just a bit low... I picked her...

Thanks all for your input! I added a brick to stock tank and put one of the tire ramps for the car on outside. They get in and out like it's nothing now! :-)
