Baby Rainbow Update


Rainbow continues to do really great. I am amazed at how much the baby has grown in a week and now it looks like we are getting the beginning of feathers. Since papa is pure white and the moms grey it will be interesting. Rainbow would also like to say thank you for everyone who has supported us. It means a great deal to us and is so appreciated. Here's a few pictures from today.




This is my favorite picture yet


I'll post more pictures tomorrow.

Yep! I am very lucky to have a husband that loves the birds as much as I do. He got mad at me for taking that picture but they were just so sweet together.

Those pictures are so good I want to reach in the computer and touch Rainbow. I so love them at this age. They are incredibly sweet and trusting.

Your pictures are wonderful. Love the one of Rainbow & your husband. Too precious.
Thanks for sharing them with us.

I'm going to guess Rainbow will follow suit of his Dad regarding the feather coloring. As you say though, it will be interesting.
Please do continue to keep us updated, complete with pictures of course.

Rainbow is so cute!

As far as coloring goes he might end up being grey with white markings or vice versa.

well if rainbow is a hen then then it will be most likely to be the mothers color or visa versa even if most people dont believe it I do. But what kind of pigeon is it? will you band him it is about time to if you are.

Rainbow is a cross between a feral and utility king pigeon. We never planned on breeding them and I'm not going to band the baby because I don't know what size it will be. Papa is so much bigger than the moms that I wouldn't know what size to use and get them shipped in time. Personally I think that Rainbow came into this world in less than ideal conditions. He has two moms who are raising them but if I didn't switch them they would fight over baby. He got scratched a few times from them fighting on him so they can't be with him at the same time. I now have a much greater understanding and have ordered dummy eggs

Here are yesterdays photos. I am so proud of how well this little one seems to be doing. The moms are doing a really great job.
