Last month I got Fancy Pigeons (Full grown Adult) for my father's birthday ..
(Everything was good, eating well, running around making happy noises)
Today in the Morning my dad found the male pigeon siting in a corner not moving to eat or drink. Dad took him out of the cage Pearl's (male)...
Hey guys. I need some help with my incubator. I have been having some difficulty with the humidity. I have a fairly large tray with a sponge in the middle with a good amount of water but my humidity seems to want to stay between 35 and 40. I tried a test to see if I can bring the humidity up to...
Welcome!
I have made this thread specifically to show off your lofts, aviaries, and other setups for the pigeons and doves of BYC.
The chickens have their stunning and elaborate coops flaunted, so why can't we do the same?
It's simple...
Just post some pictures of your setup (and maybe show...
My baby giant runt (~3 months) has only been home about a week. This evening he’s suddenly gagging up water. I had seen some vomit in his cage but he’s behaved normally up until now and hadn’t vomited before maybe last night.
now he’s lethargic and clearly uncomfortable. He seems to have...
Hey there all!
I'm back with more pigeon questions! Since I first bought Portuguese tumblers 3 years ago, I have absolutely fallen in love with pigeons! Now I've got a loft full of white Homers and a smaller loft for my Ports. I love to watch them dive and swoop (although I've yet to see any...
I have a pigeon couple who are desperate to hatch eggs. The only issue is that it's been found, only after their first peep has grown, that their line might have an inclination for bad genetics.
The female lays like clockwork, the male is devoted, and they both are great parents. They are...
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I'm a complete Chicken Virgin; I have some close friends that raised chickens for many years and I've had an interest in it - my area never allowed them before unfortunately - HOWEVER I'm currently in the midst of moving into a new...

Hello!
I was hoping to see if I could find some pigeon hatching eggs. I have a mated pair of pigeons that I can't let hatch babies due to genetic issues in their ancestry. They have 1 son from before the issue was found and they are an amazing couple/parents.
What would the price look like...

Just a quick question. About a week ago, a pigeon just flew in and joined my flock of Brahma hens. The bird eats their food, dust bathes with them, follows them around all day, joins them in the coop at night, etc. The bird has NO BANDS on its feet. I know *nothing* about pigeons. Can anyone...
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I currently do not have chickens, I hope to in the future. I think it would be best for me to learn as much as possible before I get some in the near future.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
None yet.
(3) What breeds do...
My pigeon has multiple nodules over the beak and the surrounding the eyes. They are of variable size. It cannot fly but can walk well.Is it a pox or what? How this condition can be treated?
I have a female pet pigeon, Percy, whom I raised since she was a week or so old. She's almost a year old now. Last night when I covered up her cage for the night, she was completely fine. When I uncovered her cage about half an hour ago, she was looking off. Her wings were drooped, and she was a...
As you read the title you can probably assume this is my first pigeon. I saw a video on youtube about racing pigeons and was absolutely jaw dropped lol. I stood up til' 3 in the morning researching them and found a white homing pigeon for sale for $100.00. I bought it the next day haha. My plan...
My 4 month old pomeranian pouter pigeon has a slow crop. He will stand up really tall and inflate his crop but unlike the other pigeons he seems to have a heard time deflating it almost like he is holding his breath and his stomach starts to move when he does deflate the crop he seems to feel...
