How old are doves when breeders sell them?

Question

My sister is getting a dove this week, we forgot to ask the breeder exactly how old they are. I know they are babys, typically how old are doves when breeders let them go?

Answer 1

When we raised doves,they weaned at about 4 weeks of age,depending on the parents insisting on them eating on their own.Just make sure the baby is eating on it's own before she leaves the breeders,because it is such a pain to hand feed them.

Answer 2

They should be completely weaned by the time it is 5-51/2 weeks old. They will live for a long time.
