Hi: The egg I have in the incubator is hatching. This one seems to be taking an
unusually long time to hatch. He's been at it since about 9 PM last night
(15...
I guess he made a big enough hole, because only 20 minutes after I wrote
that last email, a crack formed about half way around the egg and already I
see a wing...
Chris Let the birds keep the eggs next time around and see if they will take care of the eggs and the young. The reason they make all of these growling noises...
I know why they are protective. I never questioned that. (Though they have
not been friendly from the day I got them, long before they ever had even
one egg) ...
Chris You are a very devted lover of pigeons. There is no doubt that your birds get the best of care. I think you enjoy caring for these babies. Keep me posted...
I do enjoy it.... very much! It must be that maternal side of me. I never
had children of my own. Even the getting up all night long doesn't bother me
much. ...
Does anyone have 2 pairs of owls for sale? I would like a couple of new pairs to add to my coop. I lost one of my females to a hawk yesterday and I never had...
Hi: I seem to be having a problem with Pat, my latest baby bird. He's a week old
now and lately he's been doing this rhythmic opening and closing of his beak...
Hi Chris, How often do you feed him ?? If I remember well, a baby of that age should be fed 4 times a day with small quatities of food and water. Remember that...
I feed him 4-5 times a day. His formula is a mix of one part baby bird
formula and 2 parts warm water. His incubator is set at 98 degrees F and 60%
humidity. ...
Are you, by chance getting any food in his/her lungs and thereby lessening the ability to get enough air. I killed a youngster once by getting food in the...
I don't think I am getting any in the lungs. I place the food just inside
the front of his beak and he does the swallowing himself. Sometimes, before
he...
I just checked on Pat....... he's gaping full beaked now, and in his sleep.
I don't know what else to do. To be honest, I doubt he will survive the
night. I...
The noise the baby is currently making or the rhythmic opening and closing of his beak is very common in babies. I have seen this many time in my youngsters...
You are trying so hard Chris! I suspect that the baby has a bronchial problem and that is why he is gasping or his nostrils are blocked and having to breath...
Enough. Look, you obviously do not have the experience to try and take a new bird from the parents and keep it alive. Perhaps, if you're really interested in...
The rhythmic opening and closing of the beak (no noise was made) was (and
always is, at least in hand-raised incubated young birds) a sign of a
problem. A 5...
I did not TAKE these birds from the parents! The parents abandoned them and
I tried to save them. Maybe you should know the facts before accusing
someone and...
Sorry to here you have had another loss but signs were not good from the start as you said. I hope the parents do sit their own eggs this time as you can &...
Hello Group It is time for all of you to come out of winter hibernation and share some pictures and stories of your birds, trips to shows or whatever-We ...
at Least two Breeders in the Uk of 'Short-Face' Breeds have found incubators VERY useful and have seemingly perfected the use, like anything it takes practice,...
Nice pictures. Curious, how old is this one? I've got three youngsters just getting feathers and hoping they make it. Lost 4, I think just due to the cold....
Hi: I just want to say right off the bat that this post is NOT meant to chastise
or to insult ANYONE; it is merely my curiosity as a newbie to pigeon rearing ...
