One looks like it will be mainly white in color the other should have an interesting pattern with more dark areas. One looks like a crowed prince. The other looks like it has a dark cap with dark angle wings.

I have started doing the exact same thing with my birds. My reasons may be different than your however. I have been plagued with hawk attacks. I find in the late evening hawks are done hunting for the day. Since I adopted this policy it has reduced my losses considerably. I have lost the...

I had one pigeon loose all his tail feathers. He still flies exceptionally well despite that fact. It had been close to a year; yet for some reason the tail feathers have yet to regenerate.

Could you supply us with a link to the bands you discovered. I am more than interested. I am not one to ask. I live in Canada and bought the ones I have through the U.S. They were expensive when I ordered them. When they finally arrived with the duty and the exchange the price was almost...

One was driven back from 58 miles away by a good Samaritan and his family. I am up to at least 11 out of 13 new recruits. The advantage of having your name and phone number on your pigeon's band. Any that do not arrive tomorrow I doubt I will ever see again.

Well at least 4 more made it back maybe more. So I think I at least got 10 birds back out of the 13.

I let 13 of my young homing pigeons out for a flight in view of the loft only 6 have return today. Hope my luck is better tomorrow.

I am not saying you are wrong good buddy. All I want to say when it comes to genetics be prepared for "SURPRISES".

The egg looks infertile to me. How long have they been incubating it? It should hatch in 19+- days and near the finale days the eggs is black when you try to candle it.

I do both in my loft. I mix layer pellets (which contains calcium in the pellet) in with my feed mixture. I also have 2 extra feeders one filled with grit and one with calcium. It may take a year or more for the two extra feeders to become empty but they eventually do.

I am guessing they flew home as a group (20+- mile toss) as they were all here when I arrived. I flew a slightly different flock yesterday from the same location and they all arrived this morning. A freak storm hit the coast line where the release was made.

My young homers did a 20 mile toss yesterday. That is their longest flight to date all went well.

I had it happen on occasion with young hens (not common).

Eggs usually arrive 10+- days after mating. Best of luck.

Here is my "DREAM AVIARY".

Maybe you should invest in something like this.

Yes @backyard pigeons it happen today when the second squab in a clutch of eggs broke free of it's shell Again 50 pigeons, squeakers. and squabs. Plus I must have ½+- dozen pairs on eggs currently. Now if I just can get them all trained and orientated.

All depends on it's homing ability. I plan to let it loose tomorrow evening and will begin it's training when my next round of birds are ready to start.

Well so do I! My squab & pigeon count is up to 48. I also have 6 clutches of eggs incubating at present. My 50 bird goal count should be only days away. Have not let Julia (feral interloper addition) out to loft fly yet. Valuable tip: Since I started loft flying my birds roughly 2 hours...

I have had birds return home after 9 months in captivity so surprises can happen. Realistically if they are not home in 3 days I write them off. Also if ADULT PIGEONS return after my best efforts (3 rounds of offspring) to bond to my loft I let the original owner keep them.
