There is no exact number of times a pigeon steps on its back a day, it is usually related to the fertilization rate of the hen. If the hen is well fertilized, she may step on her back only once a day. If she is not fertilized, she may step on her back about seven or eight times a day. Male pigeons in the breeding period have particularly good physical strength, and their back-stepping ability is the strongest in their lives.

Performance of pigeons stepping on their backs

1. When pigeons are chasing each other, the male pigeon is usually chasing the female pigeon. This may be a case of pursuit, or it may be that the cock is chasing the hen and stepping on her back. No matter what the situation is, it means that the pigeons will pair up and lay eggs in the short term.

2. If you find male and female pigeons nodding and kissing each other, they are stepping on each other's backs. After such a situation occurs, the probability that the pigeon will lay eggs within a week is very high.

3. If there are feathers and hay in the pigeonhouse, then the pigeons who want to lay eggs will take the feathers and hay into the nest, and then the male pigeons will frequently stay in the nest, half-squatting, and test the nest.
