My main hen Ginger has always been in the picky eater side. She seems to go thru phases where she's really only interested in one or two seeds in the mix I've made. It used to be she was crazy about safflower then white millet, then French green lentils. Now she's into milo, rape seed, and mung...

Two brothers (12 and 14) in Oregon are looking for good quality Homers to start a pigeon 4-H project (including breeding). The birds don't need to be show quality and do need to be reasonably priced. The boys have raised chickens for several years and understand the responsibility of caring...
