Pigeon Talk

[backyard pigeons]

I lost my last racer baby today. They weren't feeding it well. I was planning on hand feeding it some peas but I didn't catch it in time. this was their first ever clutch, so hopefully they get better.

I flew the racers today, like always. They went so high! Flew straight for over an hour. Including the ferals.

I accidentally bought some white homers. Yeah, 2 pairs. They are very good. I will post pics of their pedigrees soon, and see if y'all can decode it.

Side note, the loft I purchased them from (GOLD SUPERIOR LOFT) bought the racing pigeon SUPERMAN for 35,000 in 2010. Yes, 35,000. One of the birds I have had some relation to it somehow. I need to clarify it with the owner.

Okay. Thanks. I did away with all the bowls, to see if it makes their sitting job harder. I add ACV to their water twice a week, and probiotics in their water twice a month, and vitamins and minerals supplement to their water twice a month. I might get some tobacco stalks

Very cool! Those are some nice looking birds! Post pics when you get some kings.

nice pictures! How many racers do you have?

I bet they sold quick. I bet you can get another clutch from them.

I only have 16 racers. I could easily have had triple that or more with the amount of eggs I've switched out this year! I'm not sure if the tobacco stems make that much of a difference. They're meant to be good for deterring mites and lice in the nest and make for good drainage. I get them because they're cheap from the feed store. Sorry you have lost another baby. You're sure having a run of bad luck with them. Nice call with the new white homers. These 'accidental' purchases can be the best! I hope they settle quickly and easily.

yes, they are Afghan pigeons. I got them from a seller here in New Mexico who was selling them for thirty dollars, more pigeons you buy, better the deal. He wants to get rid of all of them, and I’m happy with my purchase!!
