The Pet Pigeon Thread

[Bergere]

Sounds like a great flock! So they are good at escaping birds of prey?

Absolutely GORGEOUS pigeons! I love the fantails! Where are you located? Is the red and white one in the last picture the one you are looking to re-home?

Thank you.

OH, NO,,, These ones are not the ones I want to rehome. These are the really good Mini's I bought from a judge. They will be staying here.



The male below is the one I need to rehome. He has umbrella tail. He is a normal sized Indian. He does have a nice body, a good wrap... but you can see the issue.

Wow, they are gorgous! I love Fantails.

Thank you! Am enjoying them a lot.

Ohhh okay. I wondered why you would sell such a beauty!

He is beautiful as well! Is that a genetic defect or from something else?

As per another master breeder I talked too. That male has Umbrella tail because his back it too short. You could fix this in his offspring if you use a long backed hen and culled any squeak with a short back.
I have zero interest raising the normal sized ones. Hence the Umbrella tail male looking for a new home.

My Creme Lucernes came in. Look happy and healthy.

Oh okay. I've seen a couple mini ones, but never had any. Sometime I would like to get some!

They look amazing! I love their color, its Ash Yellow Bar right?

I think... cream yellow bar, is what the breeder called them.... but I am still learning pigeon colors. Found this page which is helping me.

On this page like you said, they would be dilute ash yellow bar.

When you want mini Indians let me know. I now know which breeders are the good ones and there are not that many.

That's the breed name I believe. Okay, thank you! Are you going to be breeding them?

Yes, plan on raising both the Mini Indians and the Creme Lucernes.
