Turtle dove - introduction to breeding

Turtle dove

1. The site should be well ventilated Good, dry, higher sunny slopes.

Build a birdhouse inside the cage to provide shelter for the turtle doves on rainy days and sun protection in summer. The cages at the bird breeding farm should be 1.5 to 2 meters above the ground. Fake trees should be made of bamboo or branches and artificial bird nests should be built to facilitate turtle doves laying eggs.

Turtle dove - breeding and brooding

Turtle dove chicks

1. Laying eggs. Wild breeding birds usually mate and lay eggs in spring and autumn. In artificial breeding, female birds can be artificially injected with estrogen to promote their estrus in a short period of time, so that they can lay eggs every month.

2. Incubation. The post-laying eggs are collected and placed in an incubator for artificial incubation. During the incubation process, the temperature and relative humidity should be adjusted to ensure that the hatching rate is above 98% (turtle doves rarely have unfertilized eggs).

3. Nestling management.

When the chicks are newly hatched, they should keep warm and drink water promptly. Use potassium permanganate solution with a concentration of 2/10000 as drinking water and change it every 4 hours. After hatchlings emerge from their shells, they usually forage for 6 to 8 hours. The best food is millet or small, easily digestible food. Nestling pellets can also be used. After 1 week, 20% of pilose seeds, rice and other plant seeds can be added to the feed ratio.
