In spring, pigeon metabolism is exuberant, and it is the peak season for laying eggs. Pigeon farmers must ensure that the dietary nutrients of pigeons are perfect and adequate, and increase the supply of protein, vitamins and minerals.

Spring is the peak of pigeon reproduction, and many female pigeons begin to lay eggs again when they are about 13 days old, so they should be moved from the pigeon nest plate to the gasket at the bottom of the cage when they are about 13 days old. Then wash the original nest plate thoroughly, then dry it in the sun, then put it back in place after disinfection, feed suckling pigeons at the bottom of the cage, and hatch eggs in the nest plate, so that both laying and feeding can be done.

It rains a lot in spring, the humidity is big, the ammonia gas in the pigeon house is thick, the pigeon is easy to have diarrhea, catch a cold and so on. Therefore, the pigeon house should pay attention to ventilation. The doors and windows of the pigeon house should be opened for ventilation when the temperature is higher at noon or when it is warmer. Pay attention to using fresh lime to absorb moisture from the ground of the pigeon house. When the weather changes or it is cloudy and rainy, you should pay attention to the preventive administration. Pigeons are fed with yeast tablets, antibiotics or anti-inflammatory Chinese herbal medicine to prevent the epidemic of the disease.

Feed is easy to mildew in spring. Before feeding pigeons, the feed should be cleaned, dried, washed off impurities and reduced mold. Generally, feed is used for cleaning and drying on the same day, and it is strictly forbidden to use moldy or seriously worm-eaten feed.
