Is Pigeon Poultry Or Game Warden
I few weeks ago, I was given a female pigeon and put her in my chicken run with a small chicken coop.
A few days after that, I bought two more pigeons to keep her company.
A few days after that, the female and an apparent male mated up. I am new to pigeons, but I assume that when two groom each other and chase away the third, they have mated up. Furthermore, they started taking turns sitting on the same spot in the chicken coop.
A few days after that, I finished building pigeon nesting boxes about 4.5 feet off the ground, and put them in the chicken run. However, even though I never found eggs under where the mated pair have been sitting, they never moved from their very vulnerable spot in the middle of the chicken coop. They fly into them to eat some bird seed I set out there, but rarely stick around for very long.
They first started sitting in the same spot about two weeks ago. To emphasize, one of them is ALWAYS sitting in that spot while the other is out and about in the chicken run; then they switch. But still, no eggs. It was verified this morning when a well-meaning person cleaned out the chicken coop without knowing about the nest, and didn't notice any. After that, the pigeons started sitting on some chicken eggs in the chicken nesting boxes.
What is happening? What is your advice? The pigeons would be much happier in the pigeon boxes. Is it just because they started nesting before the pigeon boxes were finished that they refuse to move - even when they've changed nesting sites within the chicken coop? How do I get them to move? Why are there no eggs yet even though they've been faithfully sitting in the same spot for two weeks?
