So I have a lonely homing pigeon. Im going to buy him/her a mate soon but was just wondering, does the mate have to be the same breed? say could i buy a fantail as a partner or do i have to get another homer?
So I aquired this duck the other day. Obviously muscovy and i have my ideas on some things but was wondering if you could help me confirm my thoughts
So heres my questions .... thank you!
a) gender?
b) colour?
c) guesstimate age?
Thanks a heap for any help
