| Hello, I'm a relatively new pigeon keeper. i took in a few pigeons after they were found lost in my area. we never found the owners unfortunately. we decided to take them in and converted an old chicken coop into a small loft. I mostly just keep them as pets. my Valencian Figurata hen has just laid her first egg. the father is a German owl pigeon. has anyone ever seen this combo before? I'm really hoping the squab has a crest, even though its a recessive trait. would like to know if anyone has any experience similar to this with these two breeds. Unfortunately, the first egg fell out of the nest and ended up getting cracked. Fingers crossed that the second egg will make it to hatching day, I've taken some extra precautions to prevent the same thing from happening again. Thanks In advance. |

| I know the figuritas can be difficult feeders I was going to get a pair as pets and the breeder said as much ...regards getting a crest I would say theirs everychance why not the genetics are there ,I know with racing pigeons their is sometimes a throwback and a kuif appears a semi crown you could say ...if not in the first nest then maybe in the future ,no expert on genetics but mother nature has her way atb |
