Now its more important to have a hatching specialist than a pigeon specialist. Assisting pigeon eggs is just so rare you have to apply knowledge from other birds.

WV is the specialist... I've done a lot of hatching but didn't start learing what i was doing wrong or how to assist correctly till I landed on byc a year ago.. WV is one of my mentors!

Im really you're here to help! I had never heard of pigeon milk till now.

Thank you @biophiliac ! I have got Kaytee exact formula as i read thats my best bet! And no i haven't done this before, didnt realise how difficult pigeons were to raise ha! When i found them i thought more than likely they would be dead already but thought i would try anyway! I have done lots of research with regards to feeding so hoping i can do them justice and they survive

My husband went to a gun show once, and oddly enough, there was a guy with pigeon hatching eggs. He got the man's card for me. But after doing some research, I didn't have the right setup to raise them, etc. But still may be something I get into some day.

Pyxis has been hatching longer than I have, and has hatched more breeds, etc. Glad she is here to help also.

Laura, is he making any progress?

Awesome! I'm with you girl I'm sure you will give them a good chance.

Thought i would update also with a picture i can see his positioning a lot clearer, his foot is under his head and his wing is on left side and leg on right! He is positioned better than i initially thought

I think it applies to you both! You both have valuable knowledge just different types..
