Pigeon Talk

[CCUK]

I've gotten some new birds! Not pigeons, but well, neither were the chickens I saw up the thread so I think it's okay since this is the only part of the site I really talk in.

A pair of recessive pied budgies, I would love to breed them when they are old enough, they are Pepper (more white, male) and Piper (gray wings, female.)View attachment 1801054

The canaries I am rearing on formula are 21 days old and very grown up. They can fly and perch. The one on the left, Bumblebee, is a real problem child and while his three sisters(?) sit nicely together and cause no trouble he is always flying away or making a mess spattering his food all over.

They look so sweet! If I had a budgie I'd call it smuggles!

I have 4 left, I think that will do for the rest of this year.

sounds good!

Some of it is simple, some gets super complicated!
This is my favorite site on pigeon genetics. Try the Pigeonetics game.

cool. Thanks for sharing. I'll look at it in a bit.

I just rely on @Pyxis for genetics questions.

hay! That's a good idea!

They are very pretty! I like the looks of them. Where did you get them at?

I'll just see what happens. I don't want split any of my pairings up. Apart from the brother/sister pair!

ya, hopefully you get a ton of color from those birds

Very pretty! I have 3 budgies, about a year and a half old. The female has been spending a lot of time in the nest box, but I still haven't seen an egg yet.

"GOOD NEWS" one of my 3 missing pigeons made it back (not the one with the broken femur.)

Hopefully you get some eggs!

Gonna do the roof this weekend and then it's got all the necessary sides, lol. Then I will have to partition it and do perches and nests, etc.

Guess what? As of yesterday my tumblers have an egg

I got some baby pics... Plus extras!

This little "guy" has a bit of a story. He was laid in my flyers coop by a white homer hen, that was paired to another hen... I let them sit on them, hoping to not be fertile. Well, I forgot to check, when I candled, it was moving and wiggling, so I snuck it under a roller pair with infertile eggs. The 2 hens were in a coop with 5racing homer males, so idk who the dad is. He now has 'foster' parents taking care of him, and he has a little black beak. He's really cute. Although I was hoping for a white... Ash red is the foster dad, ash red spread is the foster mom.
