Results Giving pigeon milk to 11 baby chicks for 2 months, every morning and afternoon to find out how pigeon milk affects a chickens growth rate. After week 4 there was a difference in growth than a average chicken Conclusions In within 2 months of conducting this experiment I conclude that my exterminated chickens grew by a 29.9% in size with a diet of pigeon milk.
