Pigeons not pairing upI have a loft that is fairly new I have 5 pair of birds I had eggs from 2 hens the first eggs were May 25th and the second eggs were April 1st. Since that time I have not had anymore eggs. What may cause these birds not to mate? Is there something I should do?

The person I got the birds from assures me I have 5 of each sex. He says they have all been paired up before. Shouldn't the 2 pairs that I had chicks from be laying more eggs? Weather is hot could that have something to do with it.

It's really hard to come up with a real reason. As long as the birds are healthy and everything is as it should be, plenty of clean air, plenty of nest boxes, good feed, clean water, etc...........then you just basically have to wait for THEM to decide when they want to breed.
The only thing I can suggest is to separate the pairs......cocks in one section, hens in another for a couple of weeks. Then put them back together and see if the old "distance makes the heart grow fonder" works.
