What kind of pigeon is this?

[chicken farmer]

I know a mennonite that has a small homestead and me and my buddy shoot birds out of his barn for him that's eating his grain,anyway he has a flock of about 20 or so pigens(homers/mixes) that I know of and he said he'd sell me a few pigeons for $2 a piece and I've always wanted to raise a few pigeons. He has all white one's,brown and white,black and white,grey,and they have a little coop and run and a window they fly in and out of and they like to fly on the barn and sunbath and they love coming out in the rain and preening themselves and I love watching them fly around his yard and a couple of his hens have squabs. Sorry for blabbing on but I love watching them,anyway I'd like to know if this is a white fantail or what it might be and I know it isn't the best picture but the only one I could get. Thanks

Very possibly a fantail mixed with a regular white pigeon. Mine are postal racing type pigeons and look like the forward part of this bird. Check my pix.

Looks like when "white dove release" racers/homers breed with the white American fantails (even get colored ones like that). they are also called "garden fantails" "english famtails" etc. they are best mixes seen by me anyway. great find!
