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!
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.
If I am ever in Australia I will definitely contact you you can always contact me through an email lazz33d@iCloud.com I would love to see how other people do it as well there’s not much on the Internet
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.
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
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!
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
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.
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 . lazz33d@icloud.com
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
@@lazdelgado4377 really u and your wife doing fantastic job what I'm saying I will buy mothers means male and female ready for breedings maybe first time 20 pair huge body most white color the weather here it's too hot I live in state of Qatar My I know how much cost the pair?
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
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 .
You are definitely entitled to your opinion unfortunately we eat animals and animals eat other animals but thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to post a comment on my CZcams channel
@@lazdelgado4377 Would you kill dogs for food? Kill anything you want but not pigeons. They are used as pets, racing or just watching them. I breeded them for their color. Also tried racing. My first pigeon was shot by the neighbor using them for target practice. I was about ten years old. He never was able to fly again.
@@russellhillier1939 you might like pigeons. I like pigs and cows. Pigs are actually even smarter than dogs. I don't expect people to stop eating two of the most popular livestock animals though.

Damn Squabers.

3rd 💓💓💓🕊️🕊️🕊️
Thank you for the comment
3rd is second loser 😆. Just kidding with you. 😊
Good information and explanations as to why. 👍🏾
What breed of birds are they?
Are birds are based off of the king pigeon they are also mixed with a few other breeds thanks for the comment
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.
Yeah the shipping cost on livestock is outrageous. I guess like everything else nowadays?
They have to be at least 4 or 5 weeks old and all featherout 👍
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
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 . lazz33d@icloud.com
I’m glad you enjoy my videos by the way that’s good to hear
I work for national park service in crescent city. Id like to meet you if you come up.
@@lazdelgado4377 how many per box? Two?
What is your bath plan for your bird? Thanks
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
For mites and lice you have to spray #permectrinII
Thank you
@@lazdelgado4377 YOUR WELCOME MY FRIEND
What do they use these for?
Have you ever tried to add Modena genetics 🧬 to your squab operation?
I have introduced Texas pioneers and Hubble
what variety of pigeons are those?
Какие ути пути
Thanks for explaining do you sell big pigeons mothers
Yes we do sell females right now it is too hot for us to ship any birds
@@lazdelgado4377 really u and your wife doing fantastic job what I'm saying I will buy mothers means male and female ready for breedings maybe first time 20 pair huge body most white color the weather here it's too hot I live in state of Qatar
My I know how much cost the pair?
@@lazdelgado4377 how much
Hello. What is the name of the pigeons? And what is the cost of a family?
Are birds are based off of a king pigeon they are not purebreds they are mixed with other breeds we do sell our older birds for $35 a pair
I want to buy some older birds (king pigeon). How can we meet up? I live in Fresno.
Lazz33d@iCloud.com. I have a Ad on craigslist at the moment for breeding stock
4 weeks old is squab.
Are feral adult birds worth hunting and eating?
Never ate wild pigeon couldn’t really tell yeah I guess it depends on how big they are and what they are eating
I'm from Wisconsin how much would it cost to get a pair sent to me?
The shipping would approximately be $130-$150 for a single box it holds five birds This does not include the price of the birds
@@lazdelgado4377 I see. Thanks. I will prolly be intouch
How many pairs do you have to have be profitable
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
I appreciate you taking the time to reply to my question and what you're saying makes good sense
I need white 🎉 pigeon
Is it hard to find someone to buy your squab?
The market is normally good there is a price fluctuation thank you for the comment hope you enjoy my videos
@@lazdelgado4377 there’s a demand for squab year round?
How much for 2 pair?
I have different prices depending on how old the birds are
How much per a pair?
I have young pairs for $65
How do I contact you for an order?
You can email me at lazz33d@icloud.com I will not be shipping any birds until fall it is too hot now
Thx
What’s the location
We are located in Turlock California
@@lazdelgado4377 how much do a pair of pigeons go for? Can I DM some questions?
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.
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 .
@lazdelgado4377 how can i contact you for some birds? Thanks
I don't like anyone who kills pigeons for food.
