Thank you for sharing!
Wow! That's a lot of pigeons! Squab sounds like it's delicious.
good video. subscribed
I have been wanting to start raising utility pigeons for food so bad. Do you sell mated breeding stock? Do you have a page that you share how to do all the important things for production. Great video, great info, gave me lots of new ideas.
You can email me if you’re interested in some birds LAZZ 33 d@iCloud.com

Glad you liked it .
I do plan on making more videos please subscribe to my channel appreciate your support
Laz Delgado, I'm already subscribed, don't want to miss any information from you. We live in Oregon, but soon we are moving to WA state and planning to raise squabs, at least for us. I hope to be your customer very soon.
Good luck with your move when you get established let me know be happy to send you some birds
Laz Delgado Thank you!
How do you pair them so that they do not leave each other?
Good pigeon giant mix with native pigeon wild
I wouldn’t mix wild birds with your pigeons if you have good breeding stock wild birds are typically smaller and should be vaccinated before introducing them to your flock
bravissimo well done brother
Just new subscribers here

Do squabs hatch in April or only in August-November???
👍👍👍
Rack sistam super
Can I please have the longer version of that video. Cheers thanks
Would you pls tell us what is the size/measurements/ dimensions of dove cabinets??
I made a video building pigeon pens I go over all my dimensions of my nest boxes my typical box is 2‘ x 2‘ x 16 they are split in the middle
Is it ok to raise them on the dirt flooring
Hey Lazz... I’m interested in starting a squab farm. Do you supply birds to get started? Also, do you give tips/advice. I subscribed to your channel. Thanks!
You can email me if you’re interested in buying Birds Lazz33 d@iCloud.com
And yes I am happy to give people tips and advice on raising birds
I just inherited a small flock of 55 birds. I have so many questions. What do you vaccinate and deworm them with?
Great video in doubling up your productivity by giving the pairs two nest, so they can take care of their young and lay another batch of eggs in the neighboring nest box. Lol. On their poop being what makes it home for them 🤣
Glad you liked it . Nobody likes it when somebody messes with your crap👍🏼
That is the nastiest coop i have ever seen.
Well I guess that makes me the winner
G'day, how important is the hight in the nest box? And, how important is the full length divider in the nest box to separate the young from their parents?
The more room the birds have on the height the less often you need to clean the nest box .the splitter in the box is 16 inches which is 3/4 of the entire nest box that gives the Squab plenty of room
@@lazdelgado4377 Cheers
I have a farm in the country, I'm interested in raising utility bird for personal meat production. Is there a utility breed that are also good foragers? I'd like to have the option free ranging the birds to reduce supplemental feeding needs.
Has this worked out for you? I’m looking to do the same
@@victorygarden556having kept a lot of pigeon breeds from kings, to racers, to pouters, you won't beat feral pigeons for a self sufficient flock.
The odd hand full of feed and a safe place to nest, they'll forage most of there own food for you.
Granted they aren't the biggest, but for ease of keeping, and predator resistance, they take some beating.
How do you pair your pigeons? Do you just try to sex then and release them in the pen and they pair themselves? After they are paired I’m assuming they stay in there pens or claim them, do you have some that switch pens? You said you put a bracelet on them and mark which pen they are using is that correct? Sorry for all the questions I’m looking through all your videos to try to get some of the questions answered. Last question. You stated you have 2,000 pairs so how many squabs do they produce in a year total or weekly or how ever you calculate that?.
Yes when we start new pens we try to put even numbers of males and females we’d like to put a few extra females they tend to die a little easier once they have mated up we do put leg bands on them and that identifies which nesting box they are using our production varies we are often starting new pens and getting rid of old birds we produce between 250 and 400 birds a week In the winter time it slows down it also depends on how many pairs we have culled out
What type of Pigeons are they? I raise Rollers/Spinners myself...
Our birds are based off of the king breed but they are mixed with many other breeds I consider my birds to be a utility bird
@@lazdelgado4377 👍👍👍👍👍
some nailsss..🤣
do you have any idea how to maybe do it without deworming or anything? also any chance or reason to use a tiktoc style run system for them. if it was say connected to a dwarf tree food forest would it be better for their health?
It’s very important to vaccinate your birds and give them a D warmer in order to keep them healthy Worms will deteriorate the health of Birds very quickly and give them a slow death they are very destructive to pigeons The birds will be unable to gain weight and slowly waste away
Sir do you have Italian owl and satinettness if you do please let me know thanks I need each one single female
Sorry we do not Are birds are utility kings
What are the dimensions of the pens
Thanks for sharing. I am having problems keeping the squabs alive past few weeks. I did clean out the nest bowl and replaced it with fresh hay. Do you think that could be the cause of why my 3 weeks old squabs died? I also noticed they had very little feathers on them where as the other pair has squabs about the same age but a lot more feathers on them. You advise /input would be appreciated .?
I had the same problem a few years back for some reason my birds about two weeks of age would die I would clean out the nest box disinfect it it was in a new building that I finished there was another gentleman that had built his building at the same time and we had both experience the same problem with our new buildings at the same time if I remember correctly it was this time of the year it lasted approximately three months and then my bird stop dying I did speak with the vet he advised medicating my flock I did not medicate them it ran it’s course and my mortality rate changed after three months the medication was very expensive
Whatever it was ran it’s course in my flock and then went away I lost zero breeders so it was bad but not horrible
@@lazdelgado4377 May be that explains why the other squabs are still doing well because I was giving the other pair 3 in one treatment for cankers, coccidiosis and worming . Their squabs defo have more feathers and are still alive. It could be the cold weather too . The pair which just lost the squabs is smaller breed and prolly not able to cover the squabs as the bigger breed can??? Just thinking loud.
Laz can you sell me processed birds, shipped to NC? I’d like to buy 24. For my family’s personal consumption. Thanks
Sorry, don’t ship processed Birds only live pairs
Which state are you?
California
Hi how big is the sections the birds are in I want to build something like that to see if that works better for me thanks so much
I just made a video giving dimension of my pens/loft it should be available for you now thanks for watching my videos hope you subscribe to my channel
Can you harvest their eggs to eat?
Yes you can but they only lay two eggs a month and they are generally fertile
2000 pairs - that's a lot of pigeons.
Must cost a ton in feed and grit.
Hi! I'm looking for dove 🕊️ im living in Mpumalanga at embalenhle
How long for pigeons to hatch
15 to 17 days
Hi do u sell ur Peigons and if u do can u tell me where I can get them from u
You can email me at Lazz33diCloud.com
How often are the boxes and coil cleaned ?
Generally once a year or as needed
Pigeoning is not an easy hobby its totally not a flying chicken as far as my knowledge.
What vaccine do you give?
Revaccinate for PMV and salmonella and we give a D wormer ivermectin
Is it difficult to find buyers?
Which utility pigeon breed are they?
Are birds are based off of the king pigeon
@@lazdelgado4377 thank you very much.
Are these kings.
My birds are based off of the king they are not purebreds they are a utility breed
CAN I Buy some pigeons from you LET me know please
Lazz33d@iCloud.com
Where does the worms come from,you feed them and keep them inside,do you?What is the cost of two pidgeons pr.month?
The cost of feeding two pigeons per month will very if they are feeding babies they will eat A lot more they also eat a lot more during the winter time when it’s cold there are a lot of variance to Fact in. If you only had two birds it would be easy it shouldn’t be that much I would imagine $10 or so depending on how much you pay for your feed. Where do the worms come from I really am not sure .I believe they are in the ground they digest their eggs when they are picking through the ground
@@lazdelgado4377 Thank you for answering,another question:I live in a village so what about the pigeons sit on other house tops and poo them down? Are they normally coming back to their own place for resting?In your area,is it aquired to ask the neighbours for acceptance?
@@lazdelgado4377 Parasitic worms often have alternating hosts so they could be getting it from an arthropod bite or a small arthropod they eat.
Do you sell them I'm interested in. Buying
Lazz33d@icloud.com
where did you get your pigeons?
I have a friend who has a very large ranch I Purchased 1000 birds from him to get my ranch started and then begin to save some of my birds for breeding stock it’s actually a little more complicated than just saving the right birds I learned some things the hard way
Does it pay good ??
Yes before the coronavirus destroyed the restaurant Industry The market has been very low since then And now pays about 50% of what it used to
Can ur birds fly ?? The pure whites??
I don’t fly my birds because of bio security we keep our birds locked up I’m sure they would do well flying some of the smaller ones I do have a few birds out they cruise around here like jets they’re extremely fast
@@lazdelgado4377 Has Bob retired now from the Coop Office?
Just noticed your California Squab Producers title on your nest charts. I was a Coop member years ago.
What about bactereas and viruses in the manore dust!Shouldn't you wear a face mask?
It’s probably a good idea to wear a mask . sometimes we do
location?
Turlock California
is there a way to deep litter? for example, if you mad a taller building set the hens higher. then use like an electric ATV with a front load. to push out the droppings at the end of the season or once or twice every two years.
Yes I thought of making the sides of the pin like a huge door so that I could easily clean it with a tractor it is definitely possible that is one job I really hate doing
For sale
Can you sell and ship me some so I can breed too?
