Griff Jenkins Says 'Pigeons Don't Lay Eggs' on Air

The exchange showed how a short on-air mistake can spread attention to a small coop maker.

Overview

  • During a Fox News segment, guest host Griff Jenkins misstated that pigeons do not lay eggs and was corrected live by Carolina Coops founder Matt Duboise.
  • The segment covered a chicken coop installed for Vice President JD Vance at the Naval Observatory and featured a video of Duboise at Mike Tyson’s home.
  • Duboise responded on air that pigeons do lay eggs, clarifying they do not lay the same kind of eggs as chickens.
  • Reporting cited culinary coverage noting pigeon eggs are edible and have a silkier texture and richer aroma than chicken eggs, though pigeons lay far fewer eggs.
  • The moment played as a light viral gaffe that briefly spotlighted Carolina Coops and drew routine factual clarification without further controversy.
