| im sure this question popped up before, my mate keeps racers and he was told you wont be in the running this week as your birds have cold feet and he had a disaster of a race, hes had racing pigeons for fifty years and never heard of this before until i said i had read something a bout it but cant put my finger on it , can someone tell me if this is a illness or what. |

| the feet should be nice and warm and clean if there warm crap wont stick to there feet , the flesh on the brest should be a pinkish colour with no scales on the skin i all ways look on the throat on the pigeons i basket i like to see the cleft open if its open then it can breath ok but thats just me just some of the things i look out for . |

| I must say there are many pigeon theories and lots of old wives tales some true and some false. the 2 favourites are cold or warm feet and a pink breast without flaky skin and feeling moist.
A mate of mine is always parting the feathers on the breast of his birds to show the pink skin without flakes and does it so much that in the basket the feathers are parted and you can see the keel, I however never look at this and never have payed any attention to it, he says it shows form and swears by it.
I don't believe in this what so ever, and have birds topping the section winning for me in good time and they don't have it, also I have often looked at marking just because they talk about it and the ones of mine that are pink and scale free never win for me.
And I am totally against the practise and like to see a breast feathered so I cannot part it to see the flesh, as on a cold day a well feathered breast stops the birds body chilling on hard cold wet days and a bird with an exposed breast will get cold and fail.
But on the subject of warm feet I do think there is something in it, as I have noticed when catching my birds that some have cold feet and others warm, I believe this is a sign of at least good health and we all know only healthy birds win. Im not saying that birds with cold feet cant win or are in bad health but I do like to feel warm feet and Im sure it has a bearing on the racing form. |
