Pigeon Talk

Ahh! I watched this! So cute! Do your emus lay eggs yet @Pyxis ? At what age do they?

Not yet They can start laying at 18 months, which would be their third spring. Sometimes they don't start until the year after that, though. My guys will be just a year in April. But, I do have more eggs incubating this year that I bought from other breeders

@backyard pigeons boomer is the Barred one. Did you see squeak? The one with the white! She was a noise little squeaker! Hence the name!
Nice to see you here @Serin. I used to have an aviary with zebra finches, canaries, lovebirds and budgies. There was quail as well. Unfortunately rats got in and finished off the quail. I had to rehome the rest when we moved. I'd quite like to get a budgy again just to call it smuggles! I have two chickens living in my house at the moment so I don't think the wife would be happy for more!

So you are going to let them hatch some babies??!

Nope, I'm planning to deploy the plastic eggs.

-2F , wind chill -17F. Sunny though and breakfast was well attended!

The green tray has some cracked corn bc I ran out of reg corn and the roads are icy from rain yesterday.

So cute!

I'm another note... How do you make an album page or media page? I was looking at bios! So good!

But I understand.
Shadow/Java have been back in and out of the nest. Saw Trip in the other nest this morning and Bonnie too. So I could have 3 sets going at one time real soon.

There's nothing as fun as watching them raise babies! I wish I had room for more coop space...or with unlimited funds I could maybe build upward with a second or third story.

Some big time racers will have two story lofts!

Do you wrap that loft up with a tarp or anything to keep them warm? We don't get that cold and I'm just beside myself animals live through it. We got to 37 deg last night and I was super worried.
