Can one pigeon ruin a breeding season? With no intervention, yes 

THE PIGEON CAGE IS VERY LUXURY Wow, THE PIPENES ARE DEFINITELY LOUD, AWESOME, GREETINGS TO GREETINGS AS A DOVE HOBBY 👍👍👍🥰🙏

Oh no James, I hate to hear that. Any one of those offspring would be on my wish list. The individual breeding boxes will be a great addition to your set up.

Oh gosh, I feel your pain James! Maybe there's something in the air. I've lost three rounds of eggs due to them laying on the floor. Broken eggs,, frozen eggs. It's so frustrating. A rack of nice nest boxes and they don't want to use them. Great job on the breeding boxes. Wish you were closer, we could fix you up with a whole bunch of free stuff. I must say, I never had a single problem when my birds were all in individual breeding pens. On a happy note, my RFRP birds are finally sitting on eggs! They have their very own, floor to ceiling penthouse out in the shed. They're calm and happy. Fingers crossed, their young birds will be going to the RGOLF. :)

I don't show my breeders much these days for security reasons, but ALL of my breeding is done in single boxes to prevent fighting and to ensure accurate parentage.

I liked you re new breeding cage nice😊

Individual breeding sections are coming on great .

Try setting your nest box fronts back to the first position so they don't have to fly straight into the box. Then if that naughty 13 still plays up put a clip ring on each leg and tie a piece of string between the two so he trips up a little when he walks, it will solve the problem of him going into other boxes immediately. Good luck with the rest of your breeding season. 👍👍

Ouch... Rouge 13 better be one great pigeon. If I lived closer, I would help you build

Wow rouge 13 really did a number on, I think I have this same problem just need to find whose doing it 😆 in my open loft where I have my pumpers

Sorry that happened James! I also have a pair where the cock bird broke eggs and he also didn’t fertile his own eggs 😂 I feel you pain sir!

Nice birds

I have the same problem as you so I built me seven individual boxes for my breeders. I still breed some in my main loft but like you 50% of the time they fight over the boxes and break the eggs some days old babies also got kill by that this is going to be my last year breeding in my main loft next year year all in the individual boxes. I give you some advice from experience the hawks will get under the breeding boxes and harass your birds and kill your youngsters if they can reach them . I had to cover around the boxes I use the plastic sheeting from Home Depot with the small holes on them and I take them out for cleaning and put them back easy job ,also my shelving a got a curve on them from the birds and all the poop on the top Also I install small doors in the back of the boxes so I have easy access to the nest bowls Good look .

James, I am so sorry that happened to you. At the beginning of this breathing season I experienced something very similar with cockfighting ruining my first round of eggs I think next year I’m going exclusively reading pens so I don’t have to deal with that element and also I found one of my hands to be buried promiscuous And I wanna know who my baby daddy are lol I hope you recover from this James and I pray that you have a successful breeding season 2024 also show more the pin the dimensions and everything because I’d like to build one myself while WILLIE was building, one myself, and can use all the ideas as if I’m not a really good carpenterit’s always a pleasure Brother

That sucks, im pretty far behind myself due to a lot of unfertile eggs, this is the main reason I stopped open box breeding with mine to many new pairs an switched matings to take a chance with fighting birds , luckily in the winter time im able to spend alot of time with the birds an let each pair out of their box for an hour individually

If you tape rogue birds legs together and put him in nest boxes he isn't supposed to be in and let the birds pick on him for a few minutes he won't go in there any more you might have to do it a few times usually once is all it takes. Sometimes just being in a nestbox hobbled up will keep him from going in there again. You don't happen to have any of the distance blood lines of the pigeons you got from my dad in Orem when you were a teenager?

Problem with the breeding boxes is that if a pigeon enters another box he cannot escape. I remove the shielding when there paired

Please tell us that Rogue 13, will not be the bird you give away!! 😄

That really sucks!

❤

call the chek pied bird war paint

I might have the same problem. I started breeding early this year and of course put a few new cock birds in my breeding loft just to find out there’s crack eggs and eggs on the floor everywhere. So I had to re separate all my birds and start all over again. SMH Gona be a long year this year.

Why don’t you call the blue checker pied Picasso because he looks like a painting

It’s happened May be he is not happy with his mate. So he can’t see other 😂😂😂😂

So sorry for the loss! He is a bad pigeon !

I fill your pain. I have 5 pairs only egg hatch each pairs. I all most cray

breeding pigeons in such small spaces is not a good idea

What a butthead lol. Definitely sucks when you feel like your already running behind. This is way I have nothing but individual breeding pens. Your's look like there gonna turn out good. You'll love them.
