Well,,, I am thinning out my flock. I have 60 birds, which is way to many. I would like to sell down to 45 for winter. But, I'm going to start with ten, see how other birds mature, then sell a few more. 9 YBs, 8 of which could be settled. Then one 2018 hatch, a very late hatch.

I haven’t done any more tosses only due to me feeling like my birds arnt feeing quite well. They only seem to be loft flying for 5-10 minutes from the 1-3 hours they were before as well as some very pink wattles so I decided to hold them until I started seeing some progress, but honestly I’m not sure what’s up so it has me pretty bummed

Hey everybody, let's welcome new member Anne!

Hello everyone, my name is Anne and I used to have a lot of chickens about 90 was the most I had at one time. I enjoyed them thoroughly but they were a lot of work. I recently have acquired a homing pigeon that was being attacked by a hawk and we rescued her. She has shown herself to be so affectionate, we are surrounded by hawks, osprey, bald eagles and many other predator type creatures. I decided to keep her, I couldn't bear the thought of her getting eaten by one of these creatures. So now I need to build her a coup that will get her through the winter because we are in the Northeast and it gets very cold here in the winter. So I'm looking for ideas on coops and I'm also in the market for a couple of friends for her. So that's my story, I have joined backyard chickens, but I'm basically interested in pigeons. Thank you!!!!!

The good news is pigeons are very hardy in the cold so don't worry.
