    Color Question & Update

    So my squabs are officially all filled out with their feathers now and looking very pretty! (And eating seed and drinking on their own). I'm curious about the one squab, though.

    Breeder Feed Question

    Hey again guys! I'm getting low on feed so was looking at some different ones, and I wanted to switch to a better breeder mix.

    It's -8 degrees outside right now (coldest night of the entire year so far) and my grizzle pigeon just hatched an egg! I think it was almost two days late, but it hatched. I was pretty worried about the cold, so I have two heat lamps in their loft right now, one a 150 watt and the other a 90...

    Recall Training?

    How do I recall train pigeons? I have a couple rollers, and a few homing pigeons (I do pigeon rescue, so I never know what I’ll get next). Any advice would be great, thanks! I want to do it as safely as possible, not a lot of predators in my area, but I really don’t want any of them to just fly...

    My Old German owls and Turkish tumblers

    I just barely bought some old german owls from Don Hall and I'm excited to start breeding next year. While the birds are blue and silver bars, (4 blues 1 silver) their prettiness makes up for the lack of color variety. I will post some pictures soon when the weather is nice. As for my Turkish...
