first Pigeons

[Action]

Just picked up my first Pigeons today. They were paired up and had there first egg before I got them. I hope they will take care of the second when it comes. I have a long ways to go but it is a start.

I am on the other side of the pond but you people have a great site.

the hen prob will not sit the other egg when it is laid as shes in a strange place and it will take time on her to settle down . is that the pair in the pic

how much did that wee loft cost you

[Guest frank dooman]

is that a glass top on the pens?

The little loft-I built it from scraps I had and maybe $30 in store bought parts.

 

Yes, The roof is an old glass sliding door I had. The 6 birds were unexpected so had to put something together fast. Still a work in progress.

the only thing i can see thats wrong in my mind is with a glass top in your heat you might cook the birds put a piece of wood over it they need some where to get out the sun

Right now the sun is low in the sky and hi temps are still pretty cold. But yes when it warms up the glass is a concern. For now it seems to be OK. I was also a little concerned about hawks seeing them but so far so good. I am all ears if you see a mistake.

Thanks Jack

 

Merry Christmas
