well in total i have 8 pigeons. i started with a pair of homeers until one died and got roller pigeoons instead. for years now of owning these guys i have..
2 MALE roller pigeons
1 FEMALE roller pigeon
1 MALE roller/homer mix pigeon
1 MALE feral pigeon
1 FEMALE homer
2 UNKNOWN homer/feral mix pigeons (reall neat)
and as u can see i have a whole mix of pigeons in here but my problem is that since i dont want any mutts nomore can i breed the mutts with mutts and rollers with rollers in the same coop?? another question is that if the homer and feral pigeons breed can i call them as homers or called mutts. my plans right now is pairing up my only female roller with a male roller, breed my 2 feral/homer squabs, breed my feral and homer together. and just save my other MALE roller pigeon and my MALE homer/roller pigeon for another time.so do u think i can do this without making more mutts anymore??

No. They will cross breed, most pair are not 100 percent faithful to each other.
another question is that if the homer and feral pigeons breed can i call them as homers or called mutts.
You can call them what you like. BUT, if you want to sell you 'homers' as such, the person you are selling them to will ask to see records or past races, or performances, from the parents, and pedigrees and bloodlines (if they are serious). So you will probably only be able to sell any young at very low prices as they don't have the pedigree.

NO WAY. Sorry.

I keep a mixed loft of the following breeds

1 pair king pigeons
2 pairs old dutch capuchines
2 pairs white Indian Fantials.


They are all strongly paired and bonded, BUT if either partner is out of sight of the other they will mate with other breeds. I have a very cute old dutch capuchine X white fantail. She has one black eye and one coloured one, and a big tail, but a ruff of a capuchine. She is worthless if I want to sell her, but she is my pet.

I have also had kind X fantial, and even a King X wild pigeon, when there where free flying.

If you want to keep you birds pure, keep each pair you are breeding in their own cage. Keep the non breeding and young birds in a mixed coop. Or divide the coop into 3, have males in one part, females in the other, and the breeding pair on their own in the 3rd.
