Female Pigeon Not Laying "Eggs


I have a female pigeon which is not laying egg for the last one year.
It takes food well but always looks lazy.
Although it is not too old, just only has 3 years age.
Please send me suggestions on my ID: nazimkhan327@yahoo.com

This could be a number of things, from nutrition issue to a health related issue and/or infection, my best advice would be to get her to a good avian vet for an exam, as my hens usually do not stop laying eggs (go into pigeon menopause) at the age of 3, that usually happens when they get around 8 years of age, or older.

Does she have any unusual swelling around her vent or anywhere else? the fact that she seems to look "lazy" or has no energy, definitely means something is going on internally.

I wonder if this has something to do with not having direct sunlight or something similar.
I have several birds which stopped leying eggs at this age or younger even. Angel stopped at age two. Fran the same 2-3 years of age. Dolly never laid an egg and she is female for sure. They all get good nutrition and vitamin supplements, including Hi-Cal grit.

Is she over-weight? Fat hens will often not lay. You could try feeding her barley only, for a month or two, that should take help if she needs slimming down.
