And I also wish you the best, my friend

Champ is awesome! Also I totally agree that anything that has been bred in your loft is now a Rocky Ridge Pigeon; in Europe none of the guys list off the bloodlines, maybe who they got their original pigeons from but nothing further as all babies our their own not someone else’s.

It seems pointless to list the bloodlines when I cross them the way I feel appropriate to get the best possible young. So those young ones will be Rocky Ridge Pigeons. Thanks for the info Scott.

Your birds look incredible Mike 👍😊

So nice of you, thanks for watching

Back in the 50s an 60s we used tobacco stems for the nesting pairs this helped ward off the various parasites like flat flys, red mites that fed on the young squabs.

We have it much easier these days, one quick spray on the nest pad with permethrin, and all those parasite problems are gone. Also, I individually medicate each bird prior to breeding season with moxa dextrin, which takes care of internal and external parasites. Although having nesting material definitely keeps the birds more happy. Thanks for your comment my friend.

Great job my friend

Hello Mike, Hope you're well. Interesting, that now you have added Pakistani flyers to your collection. I love the idea of having different kinds of birds including fancy ones too. The other kind that I like is the Lahore pigeon as well. I love the color pattern and the overall look of them. Yeah, that team of young lads looks ready and ready to go!! That new loft is beautiful and seems so long. Those youngsters look ripe to challenge the skies!! Have you ever paired a Black Eagle with a Rocky Ridge white? Good luck with your upcoming races and continued success. Cheers!!

Interesting you should say that about Lahore Pigeons. We almost got a some about a year ago. I have crossed black eagles with Rocky Ridge whites and got a whole array of different color birds including red, but mostly they were black and white splashes. They always did fly well.

The birds are looking good. You have had a very successful breeding season. Good luck with them all.

Thank you for watching, and for noticing details. The droppings are subjective according to the feed when, using pellets, they usually have brownish more runny type of droppings. Thanks for your comment.

@dirkvoges6218

@@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons I would never feed pellets to pigeons again. I did it once in 1987 and it was a huge failure. Why? 1. I had great young ones in the nest, they had grown really well, but none of them were able to win a race. That means in Europe for young pigeon racing, old pigeon racing for 3 years the vintage is a total failure. This also means that there will be no breeding results for all newly purchased breeding pigeons and all newly assembled breeding pigeons that year. You cannot judge the offspring and the inheritance of the parents in that year. 2. Pigeons are grain eaters and have a gizzard to crush the grains by grinding the grains with pebbles, after which they were allowed to swell in the crop with the help of water in the first step. This is completely eliminated if you feed pellets. You're still feeding corn. But the pigeons don't like to eat this big corn and so it is often left over and the pigeons refuse to eat it because they have to regurgitate it to feed it to the young pigeons in the nest. If you feed less, they will eat the corn, but the young will stop growing. 3. Pellets dissolve in the goiter, the stomach doesn't have to work and the porridge just passes through the body. 4. I can judge the quality of grains by their smell, color and shape. When grains are ground, many natural vitamins oxidize very quickly and artificial ones are added to compensate. 5. The feces are difficult to assess because the pellet pulp passes through the body too quickly. 5. I don't know of any good breeders in Europe who use pellets and dominate in races and win championships. Think about it. And I have visited many.++++++We call this large corn “horse tooth corn” and you won’t find it in modern pigeon feed mixtures for a good 35-40 years. I know her from the 1970s.
