What's my male pigeon trying to say?

[chicken farmer]

My fantail cock was squatting down almost flat with the top of the nestbox and was making an gooooh,gooooh,gooooh sound I never heard him make before and his hen was standing up beside him. Is he trying to comfort her and get her to lay or what?

 

[chicken farmer]

Yes they have 2 squabs right now that are getting close to being weaned, and all mine have hatched on the 16th day as well(fantails)

He had his head down flat with his body too

He wants to start a family.

Any egges yet?

The cock will decide on the nest spot then he'll do as you described, if the hen excepts the spot she will start the nest, soon you will have eggs.

You can expect eggs about 10 after seeing them copulate and the eggs should hatch 19+- days after being laid.
