Thanks great suggestions everyone!
I do plan to keep records as eventually down the road I know some will be better, stronger, faster, healthier... than others and you have to make choices from your records in regards to future breedings and who stays and who goes.

I have been checking out clubs. Might be a possibility one day. But right now it’s mostly just for fun.
I am supposed to be getting a pair of Blue Bar Saddle Janssen Racers and a pair of Bandit Racers.
My pigeons got to enjoy the outside today for the first time :)
I have on order leg bands...
Thank you. I was most impressed with how proud the owner was. Explaining things to me and showing the birds off. The birds are well fed and much cleaner and prettier than all the dog folks make them sound. I instantly fell in love with them. I love the soft coos and how easy they are to handle...
So... some will be used to toss for pointing dog training (ideally no harm done to the bird).
But my son and I plan to get super attached to them too then race our favorites against each other. For fun :)
I understand the risks of flying birds... and that said I am also ready to risk that as...

Obviously I would have maybe preferred squeakers. H told me if provided with the right environment they should nest quickly.
Once they nest and have eggs will they stay in my loft or still try to return...
