Pigeon Talk

Oh, I heard from the guy with the other Satinettes, he got cleared to go back to his loft, so he is supposed to send me some more pics. Maybe I’ll get up there to get more birds within the next couple of weeks.

Oh good!

Alright, I'll candle at a week and if they are developing I'll order some. How much would be needed for 2 squab for a week?

thanks for the links bio.

I'm not sure how much as I haven't used it but I would start with that 18 oz container and see if that does it. I found the complete ingredients under the nutritional info tab on that link. I notice it even contains whole dried egg. Also the feeding instructions are useful, same link.
@LauraMunro is the one with first hand experience at hatching pigeon eggs. Maybe she will chime in.

@Pyxis how's your birds?

They're good! Not impressed with quarantine, lol.

I'm gonna start my real permanent loft this coming week, I think. Not a great time of year to be building but luckily I have a garage I can work out of.

Ok. Thanks! I'll prob get it off ebay. It was $12 for 18 oz with free 2 day shipping. I do feel like I'm prepared if they do hatch. It's not like I was surprised by a unexpected hatch and the parents abandoned them.

do they got sick ness?

do they got sick ness?

Nope, it's just always a good idea to quarantine new birds away from your others for safety. I know my other pigeons also came from this seller but some diseases pigeons carry can be transmitted to chickens so they can't get near my flocks for at least a month, just in case.

It was on sale for $4.50 at Chewy.com but not including shipping, so the Ebay deal sounds good.

How much is shipping normally on chewy? I'm not supposed to saving a few dollars
