Keeping pigeons through winter
I'm just about ready to add pigeons to the coop I'm building and was wonding how they would fair over the winter. Do they breed successfully all year long or just when it's warm out? If they're not going to breed successfully, I'll probably just keep a small quantity of wild birds off and on so I do...

Re: E-collar sliding to side of neck
No beeper....just the plain collar. Must do that because of the muscle structure on each side of her neck. I was just worried that she'd end up with a bruised wind pipe after a good run but if it's pretty common I'm good to go....thanks!

E-collar sliding to side of neck
When I put the e-collar on my 7mo pup it ends up sitting to one side of her neck instead of directly below here throat. The collar is on nice and snug so I can't understand why it would do that. I would think this would put undue pressure on her wind pipe when she's running due to the weight. Is thi...
