Wire may be a little easier to clean, although I'd do wood. More predator proof, and you can lay down shavings or some sort of substrate, plus any spilled food will end up inside for you to scrape out with the poop as opposed to spilled on the ground (to attract mice and such!)

The medium looking fans are a result from a fantail x non-fan! Chances are Squabble is just homer or feral, aka rock dove or pigeon : D that's cool you have feral fantails, nothing fancy is feral where I live

I find it on most of my squabs, moreso my rollers than my homers though! They fall out when they're adults though. I had *one* squab keep a few feathers but they were small!

I don't think anything wrong, if you're hoping to do it yourself though you may have to buy pigeon food (you can probably find it for $20 a bag or so at a feedstore, I know WilCo has it and I imagine TSC might?) You'll probably need to make some sort of temporary cage cause the wing will...

Hows he doing now? Do you perhaps have any bird rescues around? That would be my first step. I'm gonna assume theres no leg band and that it's probably a feral pigeon? The wing doesn't look like it's sitting normally, it looks like the feathers are in the wrong position while wrapped up, try...

Its a pretty cool color gene! I'll be honest I don't know a ton ton about it but I'm pretty sure the kind I have is dominant opal, it started with a pretty boy I bought! Funny enough the girl I bought him from was PERSISTENT he WASN'T an opal!! Said he was bronze but he and his wife we're $20...

This baby just keeps getting more and more pretty... I'll probably have to hold him back and see how he matures >.> Prettiest opal I've had in years and it was an accidental breeding, damn xD I'm loving the shoulder patterning, I hope it persists through his first molt! This baby is beer shy...

So, good news and bad news about the homer baby that was abandoned! (Good) Mom took him back, new theory is that he walked away and got cold and mom didn't want a cold baby? Either way I doubt he ate much that day and he's much smaller than his sibling! But both are being fed and sat on! Bad...

Well the baby is alive. It's still a little early and mom was sitting on them so I didn't check if he was fed but he was certainly alive. It's cold and rainy today so I'm not counting my squabs just yet... But the fact that he made it through the night is a good sign to me

It's morning and I haven't gone out to check yet... But while that'd normally be an option I only have to pairs nesting right now. The Homers (which had two babies, one of which is the one I'm worried about) the other is my pair of red Rollers who are on one much smaller baby (about a day or two...

Anyone have pigeons who disowned an older squab? I've got a 5 day old baby who seems to have removed from the nest, and the parents are ignoring it (when I put it back). Just went out, looks like someone may have bit him, he's very cold and empty. I don't have the stuff to feed him right now so...

I don't think so. It was a breeder in southwest Washington, he may be retired now (not sure) but I visited his home once on a road trip and took a tour, it was really cool. He basically had a second house that was his loft (it was two stories!)! He also had some diamond doves which were...

Oh no I totally agree. I'd be selling him as a "retired old man and here's also two ladies you can use but please make sure to love and kiss this old man goodnight he's a good pigeon" haha xD I *KNOW* he and his daughters are good lines, I hope to find someone who would use them but he would...

I am experiencing hardships, at 20 I'm now the sole provider for my household and the 15 odd pigeons or so I've got are eating just a bit too much, I'm going through over a bag a month and I need it to be a bag or less :'D I decided on rehoming the Homers first mainly due to the fact that I...

How do you guys price your pigeons? I'm gonna sell my homing trio but all of the prices on other craigslist posts seem crazy to me ($40ea or $75 a pair??? what!?) I got the cockbird for free and the two hens are his daughters, they all get along which is so weird. I've never had a 'trio' before...

I haven't been doing this for long (around 6 years or so) but the floor of my loft is dirt. It was a shed my dad built, it's super nice and makes a good loft lol, but since it was meant to be a shed it's just dirt. What I do to keep smell and poop down is I add shavings (just a light layer) and...

Good to know!! Thank you so much : D I guess that super chonker I've got can stay, and probably get a girlfriend haha, I would have totally thought they were meant to be fairly thin and petite, more like my roller hens I suppose, but thats good to know!

I don't know about selling them, and I also don't know about shipping birds ^^" I don't think mine are banded just because I couldn't get to my old 4H clubs house in time to buy some bands unfortunately, I'm not she has the right size but If she's got any 2021's I'll try to get a few from her ...

Downsizing hasn't started yet :') It's hard for me to pull the trigger on a decision, but I am for sure going to get rid of the trio of homers, I don't need them for show or brooding so they'd be better off in someone else's loft, I'll miss them but it'll be less feed on my plate! The Ports...

Back pre-pandemic I was in a 4H pigeon group as a sort of helper and we'd meet people during fairs, the leader of the group also had a few contacts for shows and such a few hours away. The shows I've heard about and went to were always 2-4 hours away unfortunately. But met a lot of cool people...
