My birds are a pair!

Measured the distance between the pelvic area?

Also held them some way that he said he could tell the sex and he said my make is the chunkier one.

He had lots of birds. He can also sex chickens. He grew up with a dad that has raised them all his life and he's like 4th generation.

OK I'm still trying to figure out this pic thing.

OK I give up. I haven't figured this out yet, but I do have a pic of one of them.

Can't believe I can't do this. I know it has to be soooo easy too.

 

[wolftracks]

Well at least I figured out the pic part.

OK is she mismarked? Another breed?

No matter what I love them. I'd like to have 100's of them right now.

Oh I need help! I really have disliked pigeons for a few decades and here I am.

A nun!!

Did the guy with pigeons over 40 years tell you they where Helmuts?

 

[wolftracks]

No I thought they were because of what I had found here.

So they are mismarked?

I said he was 4 gen, not 40. LOL

He's in his 20's.

When I said they were Helmets he said they looked like Nuns to him.

I rarely take one opinion on anything. I always try to get more input.

Heck I'm still not convienced they're a pair. I know they've done this all their lives, but mistakes happen.

Hard to tell from your photo, but looks like he is marked fine. Enjoy, they are hard to find here in Ny.

 

[wolftracks]

Shouldn't the wing tips be black?

 

[NYboy]

No only head and tail are black.

I've only seen the ones online that have what looks like tips colored. Are their variations to markings?

I had to go to the feedstore this morning and there was a man talking to the owners wife about my birds. He told them to try and buy my birds and they'd make some decent money from them. She told them I was a long time customer, my husband had just died and she wasn't taking advantage of me.

I guess the owner wants to see them also. Heard about them from his son and the wife said he could help me figure out what I need for feed and supplies. Son had already helped me get all that togther before he even saw them. They were two types of feed and I get what he said was best. These are from their bins. I'm using chicken grit. I heard this was alright, but want to double check here.

My husband has always built my coops and runs and I'm behind on those as it is. I have a good size cage for them, but don't know what I can do about a loft. No money and no way to pick up things on CL, so I'm trying to brainstorm.
