First egg was laid two days ago. Figure they’ll lay another today since they didn’t yesterday. That’s the almond cock in the photo. He spend more time on the nest than mom does...

One of the BEST looking cockbirds I've seen. He will be a good dad taking his turn on the nest. I had one who would only sit for 3 hours or so, the bum! lol

I have one that sits so much more than the hen. He will sometimes sit 24 hours!

That looks pretty good!



Really? We like squirrel. I figured you would.

Nope..
I used to hunt and clean them for my granny and pap when I was a teen but never liked eating them..

A rabbit lives under my loft and fine with me for the squirrels to go there too. ... I'm going to do like @cavemanrich and try to train them to a feed spot outside the loft/aviary. Otherwise they will have to be tolerated.
@cavemanrich - Take care and be safe! I believe you might be experiencing blizzard conditions today. I am north of I-94 and expecting only flurries.

I think feeding them away from the loft is a good idea too!

From what I have seen he sits more than the hen.

Hey guys, i was wondering when the hawk migration ends? Im thinking they will head out of here around march? Im missing flying them. Thanks!

 

[sourland]

Where I live in NJ is a relatively short distance from the Delaware River which centers a major migration route. Here hawks seem to migrate late August through early November. Then we have the residents to deal with.

Surprised by this. My pigeons have regular pigeon waterers for full beak dunking, but the pen that I put them in also had pvc tube with nipple waterers for the chickens that were there before (it extends further into the next chicken pen). The pigeons have learned to drink from them. I won’t remove their regular ones, but it’s nice to know they can drink from the nipples too.
