    Urgent! Heavy smoke and want to move pigeons on eggs indoors

    Hi guys! There is an outrageous amount of smoke outside right now, so bad that I can barely see the neighbor's house down the hill and I would love to move my pigeon loft indoors for a few days until the air is clearer. The loft is small enough to be able to put the whole thing indoors, but I'm...

    Pigeon Mounted Camera

    I'm new to pigeons but my two pairs of homers seem to be getting ready to lay (I've seen one pair mating a few times and the other pair seems to be super into their nestbox) and I'd really like to put a camera on one of the babies when I fly them. I've been looking around and it seems like I can...

    Thinking of keeping homing pigeons

    The title says it all! I'm thinking of staring keeping homing pigeons, I've wanted to since I was little and figured I'd find out some info on how much space they would need, what the loft would need to be like, how much time they would require/day and how much it would cost to care for them. If...

    Found quail half dead gasping for air

    i just went out to feed my jumbo coturnix and found one on her side unable to walk gasping for air and covered in ants. Any clue what could have caused this? I went ahead and put her down since it seemed pretty obvious she wasn’t going to get better and it looked like an awful state to be in. Do...

    Weird eggs

    My Cayuga duck has laid two shell less eggs in one day, stopped laying for about 3 days, and started laying again today but she laid it in the run and it had a strange texture and none of the usual grey color to it. Should I be concerned? What do you guys think could be causing this?

    Have you guys taught your ducks any tricks?

    I taught my duck Meta Knight to spin on command and thought you guys might enjoy it! Have you guys taught your birds any similar things? I'd love to see what other people have done and also try to get some ideas for new tricks for her!

    Possible quail head injury?

    I’ve been raising coturnix quail and today I found one too weak to stand and I’m thinking she may have smacked her head on the wooden support beam in their cage. There’s no blood but her skull felt uneven under the skin and she’s obviously in distress. Do you guys think it’s just a head injury...

    Quail hurting their faces on wire

    I just transferred my jumbo coturnix that hatched 4/16 to an outside wire cage the other day and started noticing some blood and couldn’t figure out where it was coming from until I noticed they all seem to be shoving their faces in between the wires and scraping them up! Do you guys have any...

    Lost power for unknown amount of time about 12-15 hours into incubation

    The power strip the incubator was plugged into lost power for up to 9 hours after the eggs were in there for 12 hours already; the incubator has been running on that strip for about 3 weeks already and it happened while I was asleep so I wasn't expecting this at all and don't know how long it...

    Electric wire for a duck coop?

    I was thinking of adding an electric wire around the base of my duck's coop/run to keep raccoons out. I had one eat an egg that I had forgotten on top of the coop and it rattled my duck pretty bad, plus I'm worried now that they've found food there that they'll keep bothering her. Would an...

    Can a duckling lose imprinting?

    I just got a little cayuga duckling on the first (she hatched on the 30th) and unexpectedly have to take a trip in a day for a little over 24 hours. She is imprinted on me at the moment but I am worried that that long break will cause her to forget about me and not be imprinted when I come back...
