I've got broody problems :(. Boo my Brahma was just pretending to be finished being broody. She went straight back to the nest, so now she's back in but I've had to put millie in with speckle as my other cages are at the farm. Speckle seems more determined than ever so I've put a fan on her.

Question about nesting and living space. So, a month(?) or so ago I got two pairs of pigeons - bought one from an older gentleman with racing pigeons (or had been into racing when he was younger, now he does releases at weddings and funerals) and a guy in my dog training group gave me a pair. Sidenote: it's interesting that the pigeons from the racing guy have dark eyes and those from the dog training guy have orangish eyes. Is that a difference between types?

Anyway, I was really busy at the time, so I put them in a dog kennel against the house on grass, wrapped in chicken wire with a tarp on top, thinking I would build them a house within the week. Well, I got even more busy finishing my term (I'm getting my Masters degree) and trying to get my MIL's house on the market, so they're still in the kennel.

They seem pretty happy. They scratch around in the dirt and grass. The only thing they seem to want to do is fly more. They're stuck in there because I haven't made a trap door yet. The kennel is 8'x8' and about 4' high. I have the top half of a plastic dog house in there for shelter and I see someone has laid an egg. My question is, has anyone tried to raise pigeons in a more "natural" environment or that a recipe for disaster?
