    Dove eggtopsy

    I’ve been struggling with poor hatchability with my two pair of Diamond doves. Usually the eggs die in the last two days of incubation. I break out all dead eggs to check what stage they are. I tossed the latest two eggs right into the incubator after they were laid, to see if we’re looking at...

    Aggressive dove or just a bossy male?

    Hello! I'm back with more questions about doves! 🤭 If anyone isn't familiar with my dove encounter, last year a dove just magically showed up in my chicken coop. Long story short, she's been with us since! I noticed that she was trying to "woo" my chickens.. (following them & bowing/cooing) so...

    Wild or domestic dove?

    This dove keeps showing up in the yard when I let my chickens out in the evenings. It lets me get closer than any wild dove & doesn't seem to be too skittish. It looks a bit too "tangerine" to be a wild one.. About this time last year we found a domestic dove, do you think this one is domestic...

    Pet dove has lump under butt

    Hey guys, I just noticed that my pet dove has a strange lump under his butt. It's not prolapse, and there's no blood in his stool. He seems to be fine, except for fluffing out the top part of his butt and panting a little. Any ideas what could be wrong.

    Hello, I just found a scared baby dove in my backyard today. She’s very quiet and literally does not move or make noise she just stands there like a brick. She doesn’t eat or drink, I don’t see any injuries on her. I’ve been with her for many hours and she hasn’t consumed any food but she’s had...

    Ant problem in dove food!

    I have an outdoor enclosure for my dove. We've been having a TERRIBLE time with ants this year. I saw in order to keep them out of my chicken's food, you're supposed to sprinkle cinnamon in the feeder! It's been working wonders.. however I'm not sure that cinnamon is safe to use around doves...

    Escaped pet or wild dove?

    This dove has been sneaking around my chicken coop lately. Today I tried to get a closer look & she ended up going IN the coop! She let's me get close (doesn't much appreciate me picking her up) which other doves around won't do.. but I think she's mainly looking for food. I caught her because...

    This little dove stops by everyday, don't know what to give it for food.

    This particular dove stops by everyday for about 4 times a day. Sometimes it brings a friend and they just sit on the railing there and coo. It did try to come down once but my rooster just ran straight for it confused and scared the dove off. Nonetheless it returned a few minutes later. I would...

    I have two recently hatched doves, one male and one female, from a Wild Type male and a Snow White female. They came out resembling their father, however, their colors are noticeably different. I hope it captures well in photos, but their coloration is warmer than the father’s and their flight...

    Introducing New Female and Male Doves

    Hey all. To start I'm a bit of a newbie to raising birds of any kind but I'm excited to get into it. I got into it when about the better part of a year ago when I saved a young mourning dove off the side of the road that was hit by a car. To my surprise the dove lived, despite not being the best...

    Companion for a Ringneck Dove? Maybe Quail?

    Howdy! I have just been given an exceedingly elderly female ringneck dove, and am considering getting her a companion. She currently lives in a room containing two other cages with her mate and daughter of some years ago, but is going to be moved soon to a new home very far away. At this new...
