Can Pigeons Live With Chickens? Can Doves Live With Pigeons?

We are often asked, Can pigeons (or doves) live with chickens? Or, Can doves live with pigeons?

While pigeons or doves can live get along with chickens 95% of the time, one conflict can be catastrophic- even fatal- for the smaller bird (same goes for housing pigeons & doves together). We recommend that the chicken coop (or pigeon coop), if roomy enough, be subdivided so that the smaller birds can live adjacent to but not in with the larger birds. It’s just not fair to put the birds at risk.
