Bird crazed...
Ok so your hen may attract males, but I HIGHLY doubt shell attract a sick male, let alone mate with one.
Second, while yes, culling animals that get worms, get coccidiosis, etc. will make a more resistant flock, but after a while then its pointless. The animals WILL get worms. They WILL get sick. Mother Nature would kill these, but would you seriously want to kill half your flock because they got worms or some disease?
I'm all for resistant, hardy flocks, but you can't just go around killing birds because they got sick once. Birds that get worms OFTEN should be culled, birds that hardly ever get worms should be bred, birds that recover quick should be bred, birds that don't recover well should be observed to see if they're worthy for the breeding program.
But back to the subject, buy another pigeon. Your more likely to lose your hen to a hawk then you are to get her to attract a male. You'd need to clip his wings and be put in jail, basically, for the rest of his life. It'd be very mean, and be a lot kinder to buy a domestic bird.

In don't plan to cull birds with Coccidiosis because from what I have read the illness is caused by bad husbandry that is not from what I know not a carrier illness . I don't quite see worms as a problem don't plan to cull against that or worm I mean every and animal has worms.
And with my pigeons I plan to sell some I don't want to be held responsible for someone's sick flock that's one the other reasons I had to put down my chickens.


"'but you can't just go around killing birds because they got sick once''
It all depends on if its contagious if its contagious and hard to treat and bird will be a carrier for life and medicine is expensive like $60 a bottle then I will do what I have to do.
And I don't come from a high money making family so MEDICINE is not always an option some times I have know choice .
For me it is worth it its worth it to be able to see a healthy bird fly with no problems not all of a sudden dropping out of the sky because it has a server respiratory infection and has to take a breather. I'm just following what a vet with years and years of experience said you should do.

I hope other people read the link I posted on the first page before they start treating like I'm an idiot.

''Lastly, have you heard of this new thing called medicine? You can even buy it online and have it shipped directly to your house. I heard it helps sick birds a lot "

Ever thought some people cant afford medicine and have you heard the term if you have nothing to say don't say anything at all

If you can't afford to take care of the animals properly.
Don't own them.

You cant tell me how to run my loft . Before medicine was made only the strongest survived just saying maybe you should take this up with Dr. Rob Marshall he is the one who has been giving not only me but other pigeon enthusiasts information he's a avian vet

I'm pretty sure he knows what he's talking about like I said read the link before you make little smart comments .

Hi Bird crazed
The way I see it to each there own opinion if you want to raise your flock like that then go ahead know one can stop you and there is yes a possible chance that one day a few pigeons might stop by but there is a very slim chance. I'm not saying I'm going to copy what your doing but I do find your links interesting.
