Hi there! 👋🏻 We live on a 1-acre farm right in the middle of the busy city of Phoenix, Arizona! Our names are Kevin & DaNelle, and we moved here in 2009, when our kids Ethan & Lydia were just 6 & 4 years old 🥰 Over the years we've raised goats for milk, chickens for eggs, built a fish/swim pond, planted fruit & nut trees, and grew a large garden full of veggies. We've also raised a bunch of other animals like pigs, sheep, turkeys, geese, peacocks, and more!
Now that our kids are away at college, we have settled into doing what we love most -- which is raising & breeding goats ethically to improve genetics. But don't worry, we'll forever love our goofy pet goats like Luna the herd queen & Willow the stump lover. We also still love raising chickens for eggs, gardening, tending to the fruit & nut trees, and growing fish in the pond. We use the fresh goat's milk to make cheese, butter, yogurt -- and we use that + everything else we harvest on our little farm to make delicious meals. Having a getaway from the busy world right in our backyard brings so much joy to us each day, and we hope it brings some to you, too. 🥰

Your arid climate is likely the reason the egg failed. I would add a good bathing pool to your coop. Moisture is important to hatching eggs.

@Weedemandreap Жыл бұрын

But it’s been SO humid here 🤷🏻‍♀️ 50-70% depending on time of day

@BlackndRaynesAshley Жыл бұрын

@@Weedemandreap they need almost a 80-90% humidity while hatching because the membrane can dry out so fast, especially in a smaller bird like a pigeon, and almost become like a cement.

@animalsperspective4298 Жыл бұрын

Quick tip! Have a deep water dish so the mother can bathe and then lay on the nest afterwards. Humidity is SUPER important through the hatching process. Also birds can become obsessed with their reflection so mirrors aren’t the best idea! Very adorable setup ☺️

@SnekAAA Жыл бұрын

Just commenting to second the mirror! Basically for all birds, mirrors are bad. Intelligent birds will think its a mate and get frustrated that they cant mate with it or they will think its a bird to fight (male vs male, female vs female). While it gets their attention and they're curious about it, it doesn't encourage good behaviors and typically frustrates the bird. The reason it causes this is because they don't realize it's them, only magpies can recognize themselves in the mirror

@katmacie2369 Жыл бұрын

Very good points! Mirrors and string are awful for birds. String so often becomes tangled around their feet or heads and causes severe issues.

@xxkenzie_x Жыл бұрын

@@SnekAAA that’s what I thought too. I have more of an eye for animals such as rats, rabbits, bettas and really the only bird I know much about are parakeet and I know it’s bad so I looked it up and google said it was fine and they can recognize themselves but you can only trust that so much. Definitely would say taking it out is the better choice.

Very cool cage! I don't know much about pigeons specifically- but I would recommend a bird- safe branch which has been de-barked and sterilized (there are plenty of tutorials for that on YT, and it's relatively simple). Having variation in the way they grip surfaces will prevent bumblefoot. I would also recommend to remove the mirror- most birds cannot recognize their reflection and can become very territorial or see their reflection as the potential mate, and stress them out. I hope the birds do well, they are absolutely gorgeous!

It is so hot there; it is a wonder that anything hatches. once it gets over 100 degrees it can dry out the eggs and then they don't finish hatching right. Maybe now that the temperature is a bit lower the pigeons may be more successful. Hope Ethan comes back to visit them when they do.

When I was a child the five and dime stores in my city sold big flats of peeps. My mother bought each of us one. We successfully raised them long enough to realize that they were roosters. They weren’t very big when their combs grew. Then, as they grew they began to be shaped like roosters. We gave them to a lady nearby who already had chickens. I don’t know how many of the other peeps on those flats ended up but at least we got them to grow.
