Here in Ohio You can get good white homers for 25.00 to 50.00 a pair. These will not win you any race , but will still home from 150 miles.

Go to someone who train their white homers. Even someone who is doing a white bird release.

I raise them, plus racer also. train them together. No I dont have any for sale.

What they charge for the release will pay for price of white doves or even U White Kings, trouble these with stay around and died or be eaten...


Was a story about a big sporting event, they wanted a few hundred white birds released, they when with a cheaper price . Got some Nice heavy white U Kings a few hundred . What happen when released they landed in the stands on people flying a few feet over peoples heads.


If they had used white homer ,they would have been up and out and on their way home.

I too have had people wanting to buy my U kings and white dove for that. Not going to happen.

Best to get good white racing homer, ones that have been flown at least 150 mile, then raise young from them, then train these to home to your place.

You will need different birds for squab, other for the release. Birds will need seperate lofts also or they will cross breed.


Squab breeds are very poor at homing.

We are based in Essex and retiring from our dove release business. We will have lots of cages and other stuff for sale if interested.

Hello


I see that you just joined the Backyard Chickens forum website.
Welcome!


This thread is from 2009; and unfortunately the person, that you replied to in your post, passed away in 2012, leaving an indelible mark on the BYC community.

I suggest that you start your own new thread, as new threads do get more rapid and applied responses.
Another suggestion is that it might also be better, considering the contents of your post, to start your thread in the "Buy ~ Sell ~ Trade" section of the website? Here is a link to that section:
