Hi All, our pair of doves have bonded and started laying eggs.I’ve read the posts on grit but hard to find similar brands in Australia. I found a site that sells grit for racing pigeons. One is called Nutrigrit Yellow for pigeons - a vitamin enriched grit blend made under veterinary supervision. It provides a range of grits and supplies 11 vitamins and 5 minerals essential for health. The other is **Pigeon Grit,**a general all-purpose grit for year-round use in both the breeding and racing lofts. This grit is a triple blend of redstone, calcite and crushed sea shells with added charcoal. My questions are whether one of these would be suitable and if so, should sea shells be separated. I’ve contacted the website but haven’t heard back so hoping for help here. Thanks!

Pretty excited to join you all. I’ll check the other posts but what’s the advice on getting mods before starting to cook? Hope to send photos throughout the year with my cooks

Hi All, first time owners of male (white) and female doves. They are from same breeder but different parents. We’ve had them for about three weeks. First the female was picking on the male, then the male on the female, now it looks like they might be starting to get along. Should we put in a nest or wait. We are worried if the female isn’t ready, the male will go back to picking on her.

Sorry, I’m sure this has been asked a lot. I live in clay soil and suffer from heavy rains. I have a 5m strip next to the patio that floods and takes a while to drain. Do you recommend a French drain or should I place a channel drain? I’m worried the French drain will take too long to absorb water due to heavy rains. However. I’m worried the channel drain will just result in pooling on the side of it.
