I prefer not to clip flight feathers and have never done so. Ideally I trap train my youngsters and start letting them out when they are only 6-8 weeks old. At this age they lack the self confidence and physical strength to go far and will likely flutter around near the loft or up to your roof to look around. By the time they go further, they'll be oriented to your loft. Even older birds I have never cut flights. Clipping their feathers makes them easy prey!

Mine are homers, did you say what breed you have?

Thanks. I have Pakistani low flyers (patti walay) and Pakistani high flyers (teddy cross)

Where do you guys go to sell your pigeons? Shows and meets are off limits now, usually I use Craigslist but it can feel a little iffy at times... I've gotta get rid of a good majority of my flock in case we're gonna move in the next 6 months :')

Bummer about the shows! The national is still happening in Kentucky thankfully.

I sell mine in Craigslist. I don't see how its sketchy. No one is going to pay $10-20 for a couple pieces of meat. :confused: A lot of great fancier use Craigslist in my area.

Ah so the weirdos just like to target me on Craigslist then xD I'll give it another try then, a bit too far of a drive for me to get to Kentucky ;D

Washington state's pretty far away, and I can't get anymore pigeons since we're likely going to have to move within the next 6 months ^^" I've seen some really cool shows up near Seattle before, but one day I'd love to visit a national show : D

I have a white pigeon pair. The female has yellowish eyes and the male has blackish brown eyes. The pair produces white babies with a little bit of red on the chest and wings and blackish brown eyes. The pair also produces grizzled babies with a blue tint with blackish brown eyes. What genetics could my breeder pair be caring and how can I get pure white birds from my current birds?

The first thing to understand about white pigeons is that white is NOT A COLOR. Sounds crazy, huh? But it's true.
Only three base colors are found in pigeons - Ash-red, Blue/black and brown, in order of dominance.
White feathers and pure white birds result from other genes that affect the expression of the color genes. So even a pure white bird carries the genes for one of the three base colors.
There are some good sources of further information online. I'll try to locate a link for you.
