[COLOR=000000]There will eventually come a point when you will say" It has been 7 years now. How come I have NO EGGS?  I wonder it my pigeons are GAY??" You should have eggs roughly 10 days after you see your birds mate or tread as us fanciers like to call it. If you do not have eggs after that window I would expect you have a gay pairing. (Lesbians are all I am really familiar with personally.)[/COLOR][COLOR=FF0000] [/COLOR] I will go out on a limb and say you should have eggs by the time 3 months roll around sometimes nature takes awhile especially if your birds are maybe adolescent and have not raised young before. I am 90% sure you have a pair of pigeons. Sometimes the first batch of eggs do not hatch due to inexperience of the new couple just to give you a heads up. Pigeon eggs should hatch roughly 19 days+- after being laid.

If lesbians lay eggs, It wont hatch right?

I thought i would post this picture.. it is of two brothers nest mates,, one has paired with a nice almond female.. but the one seems to have paired with its brother..even tho the're brothers,  they are pretty much glued to the hip.. and the funny thing is he can enter the nest box, and the female just looks at it.. darnedest thing i ever seen,, it acts normal but i can't help feeling its a little off... oh ya and there were other hens available,, till he lost out cause he wouldn't leave his brothers side and the hen... kinda sad really,, i think im gonna have to cull this bird, i did try to seperate them but he wouldn't eat ... i have had birds for close to 20yrs with breaks in between, but this is the first time i ever saw one go  this

LOL an affair ...
Brother/Sister pigeons can be paired?

That is what I thought! For the first batch of eggs that is what exactly happened. I then used the lesbian pair as foster parents. I took eggs from my best homing pair and placed them with the lesbians. They raised the squabs to maturity. My best homing pair replaced the eggs in 10 days after I robbed the nest. However if you have male pigeons in your loft you may be in for a surprise. I had all four lesbian eggs hatch on one occasion. I took one of the squabs out of the nest and fostered it with another pair of adult birds who eggs hatched roughly the same time. Each pairing had 3 squabs to raise. All the birds made it to adulthood. You never know what to expect some mate for life; some cheat; some divorce; some are gay; some kill their young. You will find gay birds are the exception and not the norm.

Not sure I get your drift.
What actually happen was while my Lesbian pair were together they had an affair with a male(s) pigeon in my loft.
What happen next was when they laid their four eggs all four hatched. This was due to their extra marital affairs.

Don't cull them! It's so sweet the attachment they have! I hate seeing my pigeons babies start fighting at 6 weeks.

Ohh! Now I clearly understand.
So, you have a lot of pigeons
I'll ask you again if I have a Question

 

[KiddoPH]

I HAVE A QUESTIONS!
It seems to me that they are now getting well with each other, Yesterday, I saw my male pigeon bowing and saying "cro cro" thingy
in front of the female pigeon and they are now not fighting with food, and now earlier, I saw the male pigeon pecking( Not hard peck and Continuously )
the neck and head of the female pigeon after the male, the female will do the same, It looks like Sweet to me
my question is,
If they now have an eggs, If I let them fly to find materials for nesting, Even if I only just want them to fly
will the male pigeon go back in their cage? because I`ve just bought my male pigeon only a week ago, was it enough?
and Is there any chance that the male pigeon will stop courting the female pigeon? or Is there any chance that the female
pigeon will reject the courting of the male pigeon?

if you let a homing pigeon out, it will be gone..

 

[lightchick]

Yes, they will just take off and leave! I've had Birmingham rollers leave after more then a week.
You can pick up straw or pine needles for them to use when nesting. Also you should buy a dog bowl or something for them to nest in........
