Cheap Pigeon Nesting Boxes

Now that the hunting season is actually over I have spent some time in the woodshop working on upgrading the pigeon coops. I have two seperate coops for raising pigeons for the purpose of dog training. Today I found an abandoned shelf project that was collecting dust in the corner of my shop. With a little work I was able to convert it into some overflow nesting boxes for my white pigeons. The perches on the front are made with 2×2 lumber scraps. I also had to glue in blocker peices to keep any nesting materials or eggs from falling out of the nest. The pigeons seem to like the extra space. This week I hope to explore my options of raising some chukar and pheasant chicks from eggs. When researching such topics about gamebirds I usually consult the folks at That Quail Place Forums.

Hey how’s it going Big Bad Jon? I stumbled accross your blog and thought I would let you know I think it is a pretty cool blog. I have a 3 year old Vizsla who loves to hunt. I was lucky enough to find a professional dog trainer to help me out in the beginning and now we are friends and hunt and train together. If your ever in NM for hunting season let me know maybe we can get together and hunt some birds.
