Where to get pigeons / typical price

[LamarshFish]

I'm in Roanoke VA. I'm allowed up to 10 chickens on my property, so I don't see why a penned pigeon (or 4 which is all I want) would be an issue. The loft I am planning will have a section that is enclosed and a section that is all wire but all raised and on wheels on one end so you can move it like a wheelbarrow. I also have land in Thaxton which is rural and I'm allowed to have anything I can legally own there, so if they get weird about the pigeons at my house, I can easily put the loft in the back of the truck and move them. As they will not be free flying, it won't be an issue to re-locate.

I may actually take Felix (the one I have now) out to the farm anyway since I will be there each evening anyway to care for the other animals.

As far as power goes, I will probably have some minor power in the loft, but it will be run off of a small solar panel and battery that are attached to the loft it's self so there shouldn't be any issues as it is not a "structure" in that it is not on or attached to the ground, and it is not hooked to the utilities.

Currently Felix is eating half an half cockatoo feed (what I bought him first as I needed something fast and there wasn't anything in there that would hurt him), and a dove mix from Petco. He LOVES green split peas as a treat and apparently weirdly for a pigeon, HATES peanuts...

Oh, for some reason I thought you lived in Hawaii, might have confused you with somebody else that was recently posting on here. Here is a link to the same page except filtered for VA. http://mumtazticloft.com/Pigeonbreeders.asp?Viewb=VA

You can also google around to find pigeon clubs in your area, start networking around them and you will surely find some folks either willing to sell you squeakers or even give you birds for free that they had planned on culling from their program.
