Is this a male fantail

[ajesus92]

I have notice that this supposedly male fantail pigeon does everything a male ígneos except he tries to feed the female and also bend so that the female pigeon can mount him, I am going to post a link in YouTube of his/her interaction with a female pigeon. Pleas help

I have been wrong before.
I think you have a lesbian paring personally. You will know for certain once you see 4 eggs in your nest bowl instead of 2.
In my defense I have been right more than wrong.

Is something wrong with their feathers and skin?

Why are the feathers sticking up on the back of their necks.. and they have so many missing feathers on their necks with red sore looking skin?

Also the fantail has a red bottom and missing feathers around his tail.

Have you treated them for mites or are they getting bullied by other pigeons?

Maybe try giving them water to bath in to clean themselves up?

No they are molting feather right now. They also had recovered from salmonella two month ago. Bullied not really he the only one in his cage.

I'm going to guess that this fantail is still a young bird. His wattle hasn't even whitened up yet, and he isn't cooing very good. How old is he? If he is still young, then I say just wait and give him time to figure things out.

Sorry to hear they were sick... but that's good news they are better now!

Once they are molted they will look lovely smart and clean again I am sure.

My guess the fantail is a male. They are acting like a true pair. However, only time will tell, as we all have been fooled by the crafty pigeons at some time in our hobby. (One time the dominant bird in my flock was a hen... she was as big as the males... and would bow and coo and attack all the other birds.. and even paired with another hen... but it was good to get 4 squabs at a time of that pair).

Sometimes you can feel the vent and feel the difference. Usually a female is wider. Especially if she has laid eggs before and males are not wide.

Yeah today he/she mounted her but I quickly pick the girl up to see if there was any sperm but there was none so not sure
