Re: how to stop laying eggs

I have had racing pigeons for a number of years,and I have seen the same
thing.
The best way to handual your situation is to get her a mate.How ever
than you would be raiseing babies that grow into larger birds and soon
you would have a mess on your hands.A femal pigeon will have in some
cases what they call heat eggs the same almost as chickens do.How ever
with out a male to bond with she will sit on the eggs for 17 to 18 days
than leave the eggs because she doesn,t feel anything in the eggs
moveing.
I wuld purchase a set of wooden eggs from a person that races and breeds
birds and let her sit on them or just keep throwing the eggs out.YOUR
choice or give her to some one that has other birds.Take care----From
