This summer we are doing a 10 year contract with pigeon king for a hundred pair. $2,500 a month for taking care of 200 pigeons is a pretty good deal to me

Sounds pretty Nifty, what does pigeon king do?
taking care???pigeonsitting???
Just curious!!!!

I have 6 white homers too, they are in training at present with  2 nesting pairs.
I will be "liberating" them in 6 weeks for some trial runs.
They are such wonderful, interesting birds with so many different habits, i can watch them all day long.

I'm in Blairstown, NJ and I have about 22+/- pigeons mixed in with the chickens. I do let them all outside together on a nice day and the pigeons love to sit up on the roof of the house. They all come back in at night just nicely. I keep them just because they are beautiful. Sometimes I sell a few but I usually end up buying more than I sell! I have mixed breeds. some helmets, one homer from auction, pied, feather-feet, fantails, white Kings, and who knows what mix! They are just for fun so who cares what breed! I do have one, Victor, that hatched out partly blind. He can see enough to eat and drink but not to fly or defend himself from the others so I have him in a cage in my room. I tried to find a home for him but no one wants an absolutely gorgeous dark fantail with white feather-feet that is blind! Anyone interested in lightening my workload and providing a home for Victor? I originally named him Victoria but he is definitely showing masculine behavior!

I saw this thread and wow. Sounds like a grate deal for just raiseing pigeons. I am going to start keeping them myself. Just saw the guy today im going to get my stock from.

   So did a little searching on pigeon king and found this, thought I would pass it along. Sound too good to be true? It is.
I am getting my matting pairs for 40 bucks. Not 200.00.
