Pigeon Talk

[backyard pigeons]

Hey everyone!
Sorry Ive AWOL again..
All is good here just been busy...
Congrats on all the new eggs and squeakers! They're all so adorable!
And the ones growing so well too.. I cant get over how fast they grow!

BP.. great job getting the puss out of Little Jake.. he's a good looking fella.
And dont get excited.. no pigeons here yet.. lots of 'lings tho..
CCUK... Im so sorry about the lost pigeons ( hopeing the last 3 return) and for the loss your lovely hen....
But the new ones, pigeons and chickens, are beautiful! Im glad they came your way so quickly..

Hokum.. I hope your other lost birds come home soon!

Serin.. the littles have grown so quickly and are absolutely adorable! Im glad to hear Olive is doing so well around them.

Ok.. lost my quotes but thats probably a good thing seeing as I was nearly 300 behind..

Missed you all..

How did you know I was gonna ask if you got pigeons yet??? It's not like I ask that every time! I know you will tell us when you get them...

Lots happening for sure! Didn't think Id ever catch up again..
All is good here thanks.. my birds are still ignoring my downsizing memo.
22 lings so far and got another duck hiding now, she's a smart one.. Ive tried following her to her nest, from a good distance of course, and trying to be stealthy, but she's on to me.. she waits till I cant stand around hiding anylonger and dashes of quick as lightning..
Then theres the 8 broody hens that I keep stealing eggs from, to the point they growl a bit but just stand up and let me have them.... but they just keep sitting on nothin. I'll just keep taking eggs tho.. eventually they'll give up..

22? Wow! Nice job!

There sneaky little buggers these ducks are! Glad the chooks are keeping you on your feet! I feel you on the downsizing ! I'm up to 26 hens now! I'm down on pigeons but I have gained two that I'm trying to settle. They are little beauties! They are in a cage on my utility room roof at the moment!

I think you will be successful in settling them. Are either of them still sqeaking?

I guess they have up and down confused. They thought you want to up-size.

I have 3 ducks sitting now too, I know the longest ones should be hatching any time now. I forgot to write down dates on these.

Most of my chicken hens have finally hatched babies, but my two frizzle cochins that got kicked out by other hens decided to try again. Together. So I gave them 7 eggs last week

I checked under Duff this morning and felt a pip, so I should have a couple more squeakers soon too!

7eggs... You gave in WV!

I haven't counted today but I got 4/4 from the new girls and jellybean, the legbar lays green eggs! I have a couple of freeloaders amongst my others though but that's OK! I'm hoping that the new pigeons settle. The Ash red one I keep thinking about bringing inside as she is so sweet and really quite tame but the missus says no ! I'll wait till she goes on holiday, then I'll sends her a picture of how to properly domesticate birds!

Good their laying..I get ya on the freeloaders.. I have a few of those too.
I guess it good we have spouses who can keep us in check.. a little anyway..

I should probably check the memo for typos..

I discovered a hen on some eggs, she is hidden well, I couldn't see her till thw shadow I thought I was looking at looked up at me.. I just walked away, I'll check and see how many she's on later when Im not so frustrated with her..
7? You softie..

Did they hatch yet?

I was just teasing.. I hope I didn't hurt your feeling..

Looks like my tumblers might only do one egg. They seem to be incubating it now. I've seen both the cock and the hen taking their turns on the nest.

At least one of Duff's has hatched. I saw the empty shell, but she wasn't keen on letting me see the baby, so I left her alone. I'll check again this evening. I know both her eggs were developing last week, so I suspect the other will hatch today.

I know you were kidding! No feelings hurt here!

ok, some of my pairs will only do 1 sometimes. It will thrive with getting the sole food.
