Just weaning mine and I'll have to toughen up - hate listening to them squeaking for food and I've been told I MUST NOT put them bch with their parents!!! :

Happy Birthday guys. TED WHERE ARE YA???? Sue :K)

It's early days I know but, I've just gone on to Easibed - about 3" deep - I rake and sieve it every day and I much prefer the look to scraping the floor and using loft white. I've even put a layer in each nest box so it's easy to scrape them out daily. Think I'm a convert.........so far! The birds love it too.......I spent ages getting it all level..... only to find them digging and throwing it everywhere! ;D ;D

Bruno - they look like old fashioned carpet underlay - I'll buy some of the latex ones for the next round.

Thanks Tammy 1. Westy, I used themn because I have clay bowls and I thought they would be too cold for the babies. I also put in straw and pine needles - just to make sure!! : ;D

I've used nest felts I was given for my first round - there were no problems with them but, do you discard them or reuse? I've just given them a shake and the new eggs are on them but...??? :-/

It's hard to imagine how it lost the ring - they take some uncoiling! :-/ Glad you got it back.

There is a white paint sold for painting panes in a greenhouse - should adhere to plastic roof - lets light in but would stop hens seeing cocks.

Thanks Linda and Shelbin. :K)

Thanks Speight..............do we call cocks and hens 'sire and dam' on a pigeon pedigree? Sue :K)

I'm weaning mine on Thursday Linda.......how much baby milk will you put in the water? Also do you leave food down for them all day or twice a day? :-/ :-/

Can't wait till mine grow up so they can do things like this Snowy. In the meantime, I've got sooooo much to learn!!!

A warm welcome from me too Jack........I'm new to pigeons and am the one who asks all the stupid questions! ;D ;D

I don't know if it makes any difference but, have you moved your youngsters onto the loft floor? :-/

So pleased to see you're at home. Now, make sure you do as you're told and make sure you do get lots of rest! Suex :K)

Thanks guys - I'll post a photo of your babies when they're born. Oh....... must get the terminology right........I'll post a photo of the squabs when they hatch!! ;D ;D

I'm new to pigeons, this is the first time I've bred any. I just went along with the advise given by a fancier friend. Celtic......my birds laid a second round when their youngsters were 22 days old.

Oooh, what is it Carol?

I treated (well a friend did) for cocci, canker and worms - managed a disappointing 50% hatch rate. They are all (all four pairs) on eggs again and I'm hoping for more success this time.

It's good to see you posting Speight. Hope you're feling a little better. Sue :K)

The owner of the bird has been contacted. Thanks for the info guys.........it's nice to have a happy ending.

Thinking about Speight and you too Danielle - you're a great friend to him. :K) Hope he's back son. Sue
