Did these come Express Mail directly from Transylvania?? JK
Cant wait to see profile pix of them sitting on a roost

I'll get pictures as soon as they clear quarantine and are in the loft

Red boy is a 2017 bird, going by his band, same as Cyril and Clara. Yellow boy is a 2019 bird. Hen is a 2020, and was not banded.

Just wondering about the shipping.. How long were they in transit?? and from how far? and approximate co$t?
I know Foy's ships pigeons, and it is pricey. but way cheaper than traveling the distance to get them.
For me personally, if it was under 300 miles, I would prefer driving.

They were in transit for two days. They came from MS, so definitely further than I could drive. The cost of shipping plus the price of the box was $75.

Anyone know what to call this color? Its from a pair of black homers. All their other squabs have been black so far.

A black dilute or a dun. Nice looking bird.

What causes that to happen?

One of the parents or both are carrying the dilute factor. It dosen't always appear but they can still pass it on to the next generation.

Super crazy that another pigeon fetched a new record price of 1.9 million! The last record was Armando which was 1.4 million and I thought that was ridiculous!

Hi! I was on this thread two years ago but after a while I decided to sell off my six pigeons so that I could focus on quail. I think that I have my quail nicely organized now. I've started thinking about pigeons again. I still want modenas and capuchins or jacobins but I've become interested in giant runt pigeons now. I would need to have a separate aviary for the giant runt pigeons though. Of course none of this will happen until spring.

If/when I build an aviary for giant runt pigeons how big would it need to be? I've only seen giant runt pigeons in person once.
