I have one pair of pigeons, Indian Fantails. They have two 9 day old babies. The babies are doing great.
The mom just died. I don't know if she had a heart attack or what.
Will the male be able to care for them on his own? If not, what do I do?
My Indian Fantail cock is bathing in his water and it's not all that warm, it's like 5 degrees. He's in a cozy cage in my rabbitry, which is draft free.
He's sitting on two squabs with my hen, so if he decides to go sit on them and he's still wet, will it affect the babies ?
Help ! (:
Hello everyone ! I'm looking to get some answers answers to my questions. Any answers and advice given is greatly appreciated !

Hello All !
I'm Jackie, you may have seen me around other parts of the forum, but not this one ! I'm new to these parts, LOL.
Anyways, I'm getting my very first pair of Pigeons on the 19th. Pied Indian Fantails. Proven, beautiful birds.
Right now they are in a cage at her house in her barn...
Question #1:
I have Bantam Cochins, at what age, are they likely go to broody around?
Question #2:
Is there anyway to induce it or make it happen faster?
That's all.
Thanks in advance !
What are the sexes on my 3-4 week old Bantam Cochins ?
#1 - Splash Chick - I think pullet
#2 - Blue/Black/Mottled/Splash Chick - I think pullet, not certain on color though LOL !
#3 - Blue Or Black Chick - I'm almost 100% sure I have a cockerel.
I got my new pair of Bantam Cochins yesterday. They are around a year old.
I noticed that they are slightly weezy and make like a coughing noise. They have normal poops, they are eating and drinking normally.
Now a bit about where I'm keeping them.. They are in a small (12 x 6 feet) shed in...
Which is better for Bantam Cochins: straw or pine shavings ? I'm leaning towards straw. Its also cheaper and easier to clean.I also want their feet feathers to stay clean.
Thoughts?
I live in Southern Ontario, Canada, so it's freezing.
It's 11 F (-11 C), it's getting colder and colder.

Well a lady I know who has nice Bantam Cochins has more for sale ! She had 6 about 2-3 months ago, a friend & I bought them and split them. My friend got a blue, black & a splash & I ended up with three gorgeous splashes. Anyways, she has 5 more 3 week old chicks, 3 blacks & 2 blues, so I'm...
I want to vaccum my carpet, the chicks are on my room & I have some shavings in the carpet.

Splash - Has colored feathers
Black - I'm pretty sure I'm correct on this one !
