I gave some away, so there's about 20; including six that I hand fed. They are beautiful flying around the yard. As homers-pathetic, so, no, I do not fly them.
When I released the flock from the loft a couple weeks ago, the three adult pair my wife bought stayed. Good homers would have left for their old loft immediately.
I will always be disappointed that I did not get young birds from you. In this, I wish I'd been honest to my Kimmi and insisted she return the pigeons to where she got them. Then bought the birds from you as planned. J

But it's just as well. My legs have worsened, so flying isn't an option. Fancy pigeons are more my style now. I've been watching for Indian fantails and other unusual breeds.

Remind me, what chicken breeds do you have? I got started with chickens last spring, and may be interested in some bantams later summer. we may be able to work some trade out. Racing homers for bantams, or something similar.

I also have gotten started with some Portuguese Tumblers. They are a show breed. A tiny little bird. About 2\3 the size of my homers, which are small homers. I have shown them. I won 2nd place out of 130 birds in January. I owe it all to this little guy on the far left:

Beautiful birds! Serama, cochin, d'Uccle, and phoenix bantams.
