nice birds steve do you sell them i know my brother would love a pair of these

Steve nic pigeons which look in good health also

yes steve could imagine feathers will get up to the eyes wonder how they dont knock eggs out of nest pan must be a mare to breed

i used to like taking birds to show end of season, got 4 near miss cards 20 years ago, got a 2009 wildemeersch cock 6th edinbrough show before xmas, paired to Davids young hen

not my cup of tea ,but they do look well i have to say

Liked to show myself Steve you can see just how the birds are compared to other pigeons

used to do better than top flyers in club, so made up for being behind racing some weeks

Bet it was not very offten Steve but it's a good thing in the winter months just for a bit of fun

Hey those are seriously loverly birds, I do like fancy pigeons, there certainly is a shortage of them, I would buy some. I was looking in a lacal mag the other day and saw SPANGLED MONKS FOR SALE, does anyone know anything about them? I have never heared of them before, but beautiful looking.

we cut the muffs on the breeding pairs

Steve b you have hit the nail on the head there mate

steve b
do you have to split birds end of season like racing birds, asking this got a spare 6ft by 4ft tempted to get 4pr different breeds for home, if yes 6 by 4 partitioned length ways 2 6ft by 2ft, would that be ok for 4 prs or 2pr

Steve the way i read the post, for a 6x4 loft, section with 4 pairs is max as when they have youngsters you are doubleing the amount of birds in this section

But make sure you have plenty of air getting in this loft,section

i have plenty of air going in, louvre vents at front, 6inch deep wire netting full length back of lofts, might swop and have 6 by 4 for corn, 8 by 6 for birds

Can see were your coming from, it would be better to have the bigger section just to be on the safe side, helps stop respirtory happening
