Not that many. Not really set up to have much more than I have now.
1 pair Creme Lucernes
1 pair of really nice Mini Indian Fantails
and
the 1st pair of normal sized Indian Fantails, turned out the breeder wasn't honest. They weren't mini's and the male has umbrella tail. The umbrella tail...
I think... cream yellow bar, is what the breeder called them.... but I am still learning pigeon colors. Found this page which is helping me.
On this page like you said, they would be dilute ash yellow bar.

When you want mini Indians...
As per another master breeder I talked too. That male has Umbrella tail because his back it too short. You could fix this in his offspring if you use a long backed hen and culled any squeak with a short back.
I have zero interest raising the normal sized ones. Hence the Umbrella tail male...
Thank you. :)
OH, NO,,, These ones are not the ones I want to rehome. These are the really good Mini's I bought from a judge. They will be staying here. ;)
The male below is the one I need to rehome. He has umbrella tail. He is a normal sized Indian. He does have a nice body, a good wrap...
Beautiful pigeons everyone.

Hate to tell you this, but chickens have just as many diseases as chickens.
Most of the pigeon breeders I know, vaccinate for everything. I am getting into pigeons too, and they will be vaccinated.
As for tapeworms and so on. All my birds are on a de-worming program. Valbazen will kill...
There are zero Vets that will see any poultry in this area. Only one will see sheep and goats and they are nearly 3 hours away, one way.
I do have to de worm my poultry every 6 months in this area and the only thing that works is Valbazen. Corid is only needed once a year, normally during the...
Heavy sigh ~~ one of the young Baby Huey Silkies just crowed.
I "think" it came from the one in the first 2 photo. Next two photos, are of the other Baby Huey, can see the difference in the poof crest.... and the last one is less than half the size of the other two and much more mellow.
What...
Having the same problem.
Membranes too thick in the white bantam Ameraucana hatching eggs. I helped the two that pipped out a tiny break in the egg,other wise they won't of gotten out...all the other's haven't pipped. Beginning to think, should of helped the rest that were talking.
They are...
Ivermec and Valbazen are two totally different de wormers.
Years ago, I tried all the Organic ways to de worm. Also did Fecal samples..... sadly, as much as I wished it so.... they didn't work.
Specially in this climate.
