egg binding

I got two rescue pigeons from a friend who couldn't take care of them. One of them is a PMV survivor and has been laying eggs. My friend said she's never laid eggs before. I'm in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. She's up to two eggs which I've left in her box. I'm really worried about the symptoms...

Hi, my pet pigeon normally lays 2 eggs every 5 -6 weeks....usually 2 days apart...this time she layed 1 egg and it has been 3 as of today that the other has not dropped. She is in her nest with her butt up in the air, wiggling around alot and not looking comfortable at all. I did try applying...

Hello! I was looking around the forum to see if there were any threads on egg binding. I didn't really have luck in finding any. But anyway, I'd like to discuss it since my Diamond Dove is laying eggs again. How can you tell when a Dove/Pigeon is egg binding? If they are, what could I do to...

So my Diamond dove hen started her 3rd clutch of eggs a few days ago. Her 2nd clutch was infertile so I allowed her to incubate those for about 2 weeks. Now like I said, she recently started her 3rd clutch and though she laid her 1st egg about 3 or 4 days ago, the 2nd one hasn't come yet. I...

yesterday i left home for about 4 hours and when i got back i couldn't help but notice all the feathers scattered across my yard...to make a long story short i have 2 new responsibilities to share with a very tame (widowed) father bird. my questions are: how long can 2 eggs survive after they...

Am I the only one who has felt that this day has been extra emotional? I've been crying over the loss of Midget, Kamz's necrotic dove who passed away. I'm worried sick about RescueMe9962's Cher-Ami who's broken eggshell is stuck inside, and I'm worried about Yopigeonguy's scalped pigeon...

Say how do you feel for eggs? Does anybody have a diagram? I need to check to see if my hen is having trouble laying.

Last night I discovered one of my hens on the loft floor, in obvious distress. After determining that she was probably eggbound, I got her on heat and used moisture and some olive oil to help her pass the egg. (intact - and the 2nd of her clutch) She's been inside on heat overnight and though...

Hi, this is pigeonkeeper, my pigeons(Homer and Lowis) laid their second egg today, what should i do?? i would like to get advice so i can give them the best treatment i can. should i constantly check on them, or should i leave them alone and let them do what they need too? Should i clean their...

Folks, Much to my shock, my 2-yr-old single Birdy laid an egg last night. Obviously not the male I thought I got last summer! I am not happy about Birdy laying an egg; frankly it kind of grosses me out. However, I am not moving the egg or the nest until she gets tired of sitting on an...

Hello, I have posted here before and have always received great advice. Some of you may remember me.... My name is Chad and I have what we believe is a king flyer. She is kept in the home and has never been outside. We feed her Kaytee Dove mix and some corn kernels. She always has fresh water...

Hi all, I have a bird (originally rehab but she stayed because she was tame and bonded with another unreleasable bird here) who about a month ago was egg bound. Her initial symptoms were standing with a "hump" in her back and not eating much. On examination, an avian vet was able to palpate an...

Ok, got this one a few days ago, seemed to only have canker, pretty bad, but was hoping flagyl and baytril would do the trick. He seemed to be able to eat, sometimes too much seed would get caught up in mouth and i had to clear it out for him to eat again. The canker is in mouth, the left side...

Hi all: The feral pigeon that shares my apartment with me and my sister became a mommy on Sunday(She laid an unfertilized egg). Since I rescued the bird I thought it was a boy so what a suprise. I need information about what to do now.She has bonded with my sister and built a nest around her...

We have to find a new home for our wonderful, sweet male cockatiel. I was recently diagnosed with Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis ("bird fancier's lung") and consequently we had to part with our cherished pigeon, Waldo. You can read more about that in this thread...

I recently came across a pigeon that was in an altercation with some ravens. They were ganging up on her and pulling out her wing feathers. I am a soft hearted person, and I couldn't stand to see them taking away her ability to fly and basically her only natural defense, so I threw my coat over...

I have had this King pigeon for 7 weeks now. Here is the thread about him http://www.pigeons.biz/forums/showthread.php?t=24204 Well, he is still not eating. I am hand feeding him twice a day and he gained about 80gr, he is where he should be 628gr. But he won't touch food. Today I let him go...
