Thanks Laz, really enjoying the videos, they are packed full of great info.

[@KnordStream49554]

I absolutely love your nest boxes design it's the coolest I have ever seen...

[@alandtinaperez5614]

Thanks foe the advice one pulling squab!

[@deanguando1335]

Nice birds. I just got started again w/white utility kings & white racing homers. Hope to breed next year.

[@stevestanley5183]

Thanks for sharing.

[@anthonynieto2051]

Thank you for your videos, its helpful for a greenhorn at squab producing. I was gifted 10 pigeons for a start up, although one past with heat wave. I have 9 waiting to see who pairs and wether I will need more. Thanks again!

[@timfox2654]

Love your Birds! I have a Dovecote on the back of our house and am hoping to get some Fantails.

[@opreapetru404]

well done

[@Herron-Limiter_9]

G’day Laz, I really enjoy your videos. I find it really interesting to see how other people farm squab. In Australia there’s not that many farmers, I’d love to connect with you and if you are ever thinking of coming to Australia you’ll definitely have to come to our farm, Andrew.

[@lazdelgado4377]

If I am ever in Australia I will definitely contact you you can always contact me through an email [e-mail] I would love to see how other people do it as well there’s not much on the Internet

Hey there, just picked up 6 beautiful birds from you today.

[@lazdelgado4377]

It was nice to meet you

[@racielmore8738]

Beautiful flock you got

[@lazdelgado4377]

Thank you

[@georgeschannel6168]

Very nice, healthy looking birds! Cool video. One constructive comment: you should stay on top of regular breeding box / nest / loft cleaning. Especially during breeding season.

[@pianocovers3741]

Great Videos man...raised pigeons as a kid, never ate them or tried squab. When raised as pets, and as a kid I never thought about them as a sustainable meal. Im more utilitarian now and thinking about how many pounds I can produce a year. Thinking of an Free Range/Open coup that I can harvest from...using white pigeons. I do like seeing them fly

[@lazdelgado4377]

Thanks for the comment I appreciate it

[@sylviabrunner5121]

Thanks Laz, that one helped a lot! An unrelated (maybe) question: we have a mixed flock: a couple of utility kings, couple of French mondains, a few ferals and lots of crosses between the three varieties. They don't seem to be as placid as the ones you have (yours all seem to be pretty relaxed in the coop); ours are OK for most of the day, but morning and evening the males all get tetchy and squabble amongst themselves and do the equivalent of barroom shoving (or something). Do you think we've overcrowded our coop? There are currently nine pairs in a coop that's 12 x 9 x 7 feet. Again, many thanks for all your videos and guidance!

[@lazdelgado4377]

I think your coop is large enough males will fight if they do not have females sometimes the males just need to figure out the pecking order or sometimes they fight over nest boxes as long as none of your birds are being injured most of the time they will figure it out females and nesting boxes is primarily what they fight over as long as they have easy access to food and water Thanks for the comment

[@TheCogPod]

I understand that buying feed in bulk saves money. Any advice for buying in bulk, but not on your scale. I need to figure out a cheaper way to feed around 400 birds. Appreciate any advice.

[@jamesholbrook7785]

Good information and explanations as to why. 👍🏾 What breed of birds are they?

[@lazdelgado4377]

Are birds are based off of the king pigeon they are also mixed with a few other breeds thanks for the comment

[@mandydorpinghaus252]

What do they use these for?

[@stevestanley5183]

Damn Squabers.

Enjoy your flicks. Would like to get a pair or two. Can you say a ballpark figure to ship to Crescent City, Ca or to Brookings,Or.? Thank you

[@lazdelgado4377]

That’s funny I go to Crescent city occasionally I drive truck for Safeway if I put them in the mail it’s approximately $135 just for the shipping I sell young pairs at $35 each they are five weeks old you can email me at . [e-mail]

What is your bath plan for your bird? Thanks

[@lazdelgado4377]

We do not give our birds bird baths they do enjoy it but we have way too many birds for that and if you leave the water too long they will start to drink it and get sick Thank you for the comment

Never ate wild pigeon couldn’t really tell yeah I guess it depends on how big they are and what they are eating

[@visionvang6598]

I'm from Wisconsin how much would it cost to get a pair sent to me?

[@timothyloyer309]

How many pairs do you have to have be profitable

[@lazdelgado4377]

It’s hard to make money when you’re buying Feed in Sacks you need to buy it in bulk by the ton you will cut your feed prices by 50% and then you need to make sure your pears are reproducing at a reasonable rate If you are buying feed by the sack you just need to make sure you are getting more money for your Squab to compensate for your feed costs there are people who have 2000 pair who breakeven and some folks have 500 pair and make a profit it depends on your flock management more pairs do not equal more money if they’re not reproducing

[@timothyloyer309]

I appreciate you taking the time to reply to my question and what you're saying makes good sense

Seems a bit cruel to kill them while they’re still babies and haven’t even left the nest, I butcher mine once they’ve left the nest.

[@lazdelgado4377]

this is what people want it a short iLife and yes it is sad . When the birds hit the ground they will be attacked by other birds and begin to lose weight because the mom and dad are not feeding them that is also another reason for pulling them at this age .
