I found 3 XXXL sky blue araucana eggs in the chicken coop!! AAH! Finally! Even Zapp who I was SURE who was a rooster!What a miracle! I remember posting this on BYC with a pic before waking up and swearing.

Any day now... it's been FIVE MONTHS!!

Now stick that egg under one of your broody pigeons and take a pic of the look on the mama pigeons face.

Will a Pigeon hatch a chicken egg? And then will she raise it?

I don't see why not. A chicken will hatch ducks, geese, just about anything you stick under them. Then again, maybe pigeons have more sense than chickens (not a difficult task

). I'm sure the hard part for the pigeon parents would be teaching "their" offspring to fly.

Don't pigeons feed their babies like robins do? Wouldn't they be a little surprised at the chick that hops out of the nest the day after it hatches and starts feeding itself? I wonder what the chick would think about the mama trying to stuff food down his throat?

Gritsar!! You know I have like a million pics of my broody pigeon mama, I'll try and find one or two

I had to sell my rooster a month ago too, he crowed way too much *cries*

Awww, I'm sorry you had to re-home him. I re-homed two a couple of weeks ago. They weren't crowing too much. They were doing that other thing roosters do, too much.
