When you say fancier breeds? Will they still fly, come back etc? I'm not after racers exactly, just would like something to let go and let it fly home etc

Hi, If i can find time soon to get myself a loft put together i will happily take up your offer. So are you saying you have 2 birds (M/F????)ready for collection or have you got some on the way? Cheers

Hi, I havent got anything yet but am trying to find an example of a smallish loft big enough for 2 birds as at this moment in time im not really looking for any more due to size restraints etc. Once i know what kind of thing is perfect for 2 birds i will be knocking one up, if anyone can let me know where i can find an example of a 2 bird loft or some ideas it would be much appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for that, When people refer to Youguns and Kits, are they the same thing and Age?

My apologise for my ignorance but can something be cleared up. Im not 100% on the termanology in terms of Younguns and Kits etc. Am i best getting some recently hatched birds (1-2 Months) or getting a breeding pair and then trainng their young? Are you offering a bredding pair or some recently hatched birds? Sorry again Thank You

Thanks for getting back to me, can you explain what you mean by keeping at six? Also what breed have you got and are they classed as homing pigeons? Are they pretty young? How much would 2 be? Thanks again

Hi all, New the forum and also to pigeons. I’m a Yorkshire lad in the UK and have decided it’s about time I got myself a couple of pigeons to start out with. I’ve got a few questions so thought it would be better to ask them all in one post to the experts out there and hopefully be educated in no time. I’m after some sort of homing pigeons that I can train and obviously after training mile by mile eventually let go miles away and see them return home. Not necessarily for racing, just to enjoy the fun. Can anyone let me know what the breed I should be going for etc? Also am I right in saying that pigeons lay all through the year or is it just spring time? I believe I’m correct in saying that I shouldn’t be buying anything older than 1-2 months? I’m assuming that for 2 pigeons I wouldn’t need anything too big as long as it’s got an inside to shield against wind, somewhere wired for them to get some sun and fresh air? Would I just feed them by putting food on the floor of the loft or on a shelf as their droppings would be on the floor? Thank you all in advance and I look forward to hearing from you.
