Pigeon Talk

Just for fun, I'm casting a bet that they are Portuguese Water Dogs.

Are you keeping them or are you selling them?

They're not mine I was just taking a guess at the breed from the picture.

I’m getting fever watching all of these baby posts. My Zitterhall have been in and out of the nests all week.

Yesterday my dun hen refused to leave the nest. Even when I put grain down. I’m hoping I’ve got an egg when I get home tomorrow.

I can’t WAIT for babies.

Well we lost Shadow/java’s squeaker today. 12 days old

Another week at the same temperature and the squab would have had enough plumage to survive.
Loss is part of a pigeon fanciers life and it is never easy.
Older experienced pigeon parents may have save the squab. Most pigeon fanciers have experienced the same thing I am no exception. It is a lesson for the parents as well as the fancier in some cases.

Not pigeons but my favorite squeaker and I took advantage of a break in the rain today.

Thank you. I was trying to keep a good eye on that one, but I guess I didn’t check quite often enough. Definitely a difficult lesson, but a lesson nonetheless.

Thanks for answering that.. Id already gone to bed..

I have 23 chickens and its a nice managble amount. You will have to remind them to stop hiding eggs from ya!

Im convinced they think they know better than me.
Ive talked with them about it repeatedly but they always say the same thing..cluck cluck.. then go hide more eggs..
