chick

So, I live in Pakistan and i have a pigeon couple in a pretty decent cage. Around Feb, the female laid two eggs and they hatched last month. The chicks seemed to be doing fine and coming on strong and healthy and are currently around 12-15 days old. But yesterday, i happened to look closer into...

Hello there. The other day I've picked up a young collared dove. It is about 3-4 week old I suppose, totally fledged, but still having some yellow fluff, and even able to eat by itself. The thing is that the juvenile's sitting almost motionlessly all the time, only grooming its feathers...

I've rescued, rehabilitated and released quite a few wild birds over the years but the few chicks passed from shock so I'm a bit lost as I've never dealt with a bird this young. I have a baby wood pigeon - around 3-5 days old from the guide - that was found on the ground. Couldn't find the nest...

About 3 weeks ago I found a pigeon nest in my garden. This pigeon had frequently been visiting my garden after we'd watered the garden often to drink the excess water. It laid 2 eggs over the course of a day, and we noticed that there wasn't a male pigeon. We assumed this was normal and went on...

one pair of my indian fantails have 2 eggs. one chick hatched, the other one has no response, however 3 days later, 2nd chick hatched as well, obviously by this time the big chick is much larger than this tiny one. so I hand feed it once a day, then put it back to the parents...3 days later it...

Homer male and roller female laid eggs and hatched one baby about a month ago. This is my first hatchling since I am very new to this. I also realize I didn't want those 2 to mate and have since purchased a hodge lodge of rabbit hutches (because that is faster than building a bunch of pigeon...

My pair of FEMALE king pigeons have hatched a chick!!!!..... A Japanese Bantam Chick!!! They are my only king pigeons......I was sad to learn they were not a true pair (as they were sold to me as male and female). These 2 females pared up and have had many nests and eggs......but obviously...

as I mentioned in my other posts, my fantails are having chicks recently, most of them are young parents, and proved as very bad parents... however, I have another pair is kinda strange, the cock bird is 3 years old, the hen is new mum. let us call they pair one.They had their first round eggs...

My fantail recently had their first chick, only one hatched. The cock bird is all black except two white feather on the tail, while the hen is a mismarked black saddle. However, the chick is pure white, how come?

Here's an album of Puff and Rooty's new chick. Just hatched last night. There's a short video of the little thing wiggling around getting fed. This one will be kept warm no matter what. No more night of the living dead pigeons. :) I must say, it's been nice having the giant parrot cage...

Today I was outside and found about a 1- 2 week old chick just starting to get fearthers but I don't know how to keep it warm and what to feed it I don't have any feed produce or anything, what do I do?!

So I'm really wondering if I ever should have gotten into pet pigeons. Is everybody else's experience just a bottomless well of tragedy? My last two 'pretty pigeons' - the ones from the first batch of 9 - let their chick die last night. They've been good parents. They laid two eggs. I added...

Hi, I started a new thread because I'm a bit alarmed. I hope that's okay. Background: our "oops" chick was born on November 1st and seems to be thriving. I've been calling it Baby Huey because it is so big. I finally picked it up for the first time yesterday and it feels like it weighs almost...

We have a woodpigion nest on our window sill with one chick in it. Currently it is about 10:30 pm and neither of the parents are on the nest. The chick still has some pin feathers and some adult feathers. At a guess it is probably about 12-20 days old. Is it normal for the parenets to leave the...

Hi guys, Some trees were being cut down around our house and i found a chick in amongst the branches on the floor. It had fallen out of the nest, which also cam down with the trees. I watched nearby but out of sight, for about 1 hour, and the mother did not return. It was getting dark at this...

Hey everyone this chick is a bluish blackish color, but all of his feathers are tipped a reddish color. What color would he be considered? Pics: Him with his nest mate. He's the one on the left.

I was wondering if its ok to feed my american fantail pigeons just (milo) while there giving pigeon milk to there soon to be chicks? And if not whats something that I should feed them?

I found a nest in the balcony of the house. Soon after the Pigeons laid their eggs and one hatched yesterday. I went to the park today and when I left they were there. When I returned this afternoon they were all gone, the birds, the chicks - gone! all that is left is the empty nest and a couple...

Hello, My hen laid eggs around january 28, 29 and one egg was smaller and the other was normal sized... I thought they were infertile... but I was wrong... I just thought that I should candle them today just out of curiosity and one was fertile... I think they are around the 8th day of...

Hi there I'm in the UK, and I have been handrearing a wood pigeon chick for 5 days, I think it was about 13/14 days old now, and it is growing and feeding really well. However I have realised today that it is not using it's feet properly and is sitting on them with the toes curled up and...
