What do you think of this? saw it on fb and thought it may be of interest to the members on here. The young pigeons have to be three to four weeks old. You lay the youngsters in your hand in balance while you hold the feet above the knees... You softly pull the young pigeon on its beak If the tail goes up, its a hen if the tail goes down its a cock ( 99 to 100 % sure ) http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/563276_597088896972559_165611625_n.jpg
