How awesome that there is a place to go that is NOT Facebook!!!!!

[Squabbie]

Hello. I was so overjoyed to find that there are still message boards. How absolutely wonderful! My name is Peggy (Squabbie) I raise...you guessed it, pigeons. Utility Kings-white and silver. I also have a ridiculously hilarious pair of Norwich Croppers (Google them--they are some goofy looking birds). I used to have a 110 acre farm and of course, raised chickens, but my husband and I now are city folk and I turned to Pigeons. My husband is retired USMC and I am former USMC. My father and mother were both Marines in WWII. We live in a small town on the shore of Lake Michigan. We have one son that has a family just north of us, also in a small town on Lake Michigan. I am an RN currently on Short Term Disability awaiting back surgery. My husband just retired for a second time I am so looking forward to sharing knowledge, laughter, and comradery with folks!!

Welcome to BYC Peggy! We're happy to have you with us!
I had to Google Norwich Croppers, they're cool looking! We'd love to see pictures of yours if you'd like to share any.

Welcome to our online community. Just wanted to inform you that there are quite a few pigeon fanciers that hang out on the pigeon forum. Myself being one of them.
A number of them in the GREAT LAKES states.

Hi Chrissy!! Yes! They are silly and fun to watch! When the lady is near, the male will puff up so full he almost falls over backwards!!! And those legs?!?!?! I will try to post some pics. I don't think I will have too much trouble. The site seems quite user friendly
