My grand daughter and I are trying to starting a dove release business in our area. She helps me with the birds and it is something we share an interest in. She has experienced love, loss, worry, responsibility, first aid, birth, pride,happiness, and more all from being involved with these doves. The farthest toss we have done to date has been about 60 miles. The birds made it home before we did.

It has became an interesting subject for class assignments for her. We also did a dove release at her school to support the anti bullying campaign. Those campaigns have become more and more prevalent over the last few years. It has become our unique way of giving notice and support to an on going problem.

If you want to raise ducks for meat this is your bird!

I like just about every aspect of these birds. To date they are my favourite breed. I have not experimented with other breeds because these do all I want. I have no problems with these birds in my area they are readily available and called Golden Comets. I feel there is no need to experiment with others. No problems coming in at night or sleeping in nest boxes or egg eating. Mine are still producing well.. I am not sure how many flocks of these birds I had over the years I am guessing 3 or 4. Out of all the birds I only had one that went broody and she hatched some Muscovy duck eggs for me. The hen just about took a heart attack when the ducks went swimming in the spring at the back of our property. Other breeds would have a hard time measuring up to their over all rating.
