I got a racing homer that was found by a shelter in Chicago...so he came to live with me. I got him a girlfriend at a swap. They had a few clear eggs and then all of a sudden A BABY! I was so excited! They fed the baby and he was growing like a weed and then one day I went out and they were both outside the nest...the baby was dead. It had all it's pin feathers on and it's eyes were open. What went wrong? Do I need to give them something else to eat when they have a baby to feed? They had pigeon food with no corn, grit and fresh water daily. Is something else needed? They have 2 more eggs now...thanks! Terri O
