When I use to keep west tumblers I would put a couple of drop's of cod liver oil mixed in the seed every day from the first day I paired up untill the second egg was laid and i never had any problems with egg binding
Hi I'm from Australia. Beautiful birds. Currently in Australia there is a national ban on the movement of pigeons because out an outbreak of Rotavirus which spread rapidly across this vast country. More rapidly than PMV1 did when it was discovered here a few years ago. How do you get on with PMV1 in the UK & how prevalent are outbreaks? Cheers.
Quick question, where can I get, them brackets u use on ur kitboxs under the landing board?? (So it keeps the landing board up) Am in process of making my own kitbox soon!
Not yet, Would be difficult for them to get in the boxes Richard, did see one a few years ago in the garden it was digging in the box i used to tip the muck tray contents in, probably finding bits of grain in there seen mice in there too. I put poison around the area now hidden in tubes for rodents. Have always had mice in the garden around the wild bird feeders.
Thank you for answering my question mate I appreciate it.I have another question tho I have a pair of straight cut blue checker boldies and I put them together and they bred me a black mismarked boldy instead of a stright cut would you be able to know why that is please and thank you
You will get the genetics of the grandparents and further back coming thorough the parents, and with each brood you can get different colours too. Cheers.
Cheers mate, Ive never had a problem with new parents raising 2 chicks, they quite often only had one fertile egg though. She didnt lay another egg tonight so it was her second. Have to wait another week now for her to lay again. Cheers.
At least she made it and you know you have time for another round. I was just watching one of your knife videos. You do a lot of things it seems. You make very nice knives

If they are new parents it would of been worth leaving one egg that was go so that they get the way to raise a baby
