So, I was given some beautiful fan tail pigeons and I took them because I figured sure how hard could it be... I was blinded by the birds beauty, I'm so concerned I'm not caring for them right. It's just a pair supposedly male and female. I have them in a rabbit hutch inside because they always seem too cold outside at night (I live in Kentucky)
I've been feeding them a mixture of our domestic bird food and chicken feed. Fresh water daily and other than watching and talking to them that's really it.
I tried letting them loose in my chicken coop but apparently they can't fly well. My grandfather kept racers in his coop is where I got this idea. And when I look online it's mostly about care for Racers and training them to come back home. Not something I'm concerned of with these birds.
Any way if anyone has advice for these fancy birds I'd love to hear it. I feel like they aren't on the right feed and I'm a little troubled that they can't really fly. What can I do to improve their birdy lives?
