Mustafa Toman, who lives in the Antakya district, has been continuing his hobby of pigeon breeding for 13 years. Toman, who enjoys taking care of pigeons, looks after and feeds each of his approximately 80 pigeons. Preparing the single pigeons for flight, Toman breeds the paired ones by allowing them to reproduce.
SHOCKED TO SEE A FOUR-LEGGED PIGEON While checking the eggs of the pigeons he breeds, Toman encountered a four-legged pigeon chick that hatched from an egg. Surprised by the emergence of a four-legged pigeon from the eggs he was breeding, Toman recorded a video of the moment with his mobile phone and then placed the chick back. Toman saw that the four-legged pigeon died after living for 2 days. Stating that he encountered such a situation for the first time in 13 years of caring for pigeons, Toman said that the four-legged pigeon chick lived for 2 days before it died.
"THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME FOR THE FIRST TIME" Expressing that a four-legged pigeon chick hatched from a pigeon egg, Mustafa Toman said, "I have been breeding pigeons as a hobby for 13 years. After coming home from work, I come here to feed my birds and take care of them. I have about 80 pigeons. My pigeons are divided into singles and pairs. The single pigeons are more prepared for flight. I breed chicks with the pairs. The breeding period starts in winter and ends in summer. In summer, we separate our pairs and they rest. After resting, we put them back together in winter. After putting them together, I start producing chicks. I have been breeding pigeons for 13 years, and this is the first time something like this has happened to me. Chicks were not hatching from the eggs. When I went to the nest, I looked and helped the chick. I took the chick out, and then something strange happened. The chick hatched as a four-legged pigeon. After placing the egg under its mother, it couldn't survive because it was born disabled. This is the first time such an event has happened to me. The chick had four legs and lived only for 2 days before it died. Previously, something similar happened to me. A two-headed pigeon hatched from an egg, but it came out dead. The four-legged one lived for two days. I showed the video to my friends, and they were also very surprised," he stated.
