thanks for your replies, i am familiar with a lot of fancy pigeon breeds but where do you actually get your pigeons from? breeders within a reasonable distance? if this is the case then i am aware that this will narrow down my selection and make it easier for me to choose

well a few breeds that i have been really taken with are danish suabians, archangels, staggard shakers, german beauty homers, lucerne gold collars (my favourites!) fantails and rollers/tumblers although the last 2 would not be my priority although i am aware these are normally quite easy to start of with if i am not mistaken? sorry to add more questions on to the original but can i keep multiple breeds at the same time and would the different breeds mate with each other? also what sort of questions do you think i should be asking to a seller? thanks

Hello, I'm new to this forum and relatively new to pigeon fancying, as of yet i do not have any pigeons but i am looking to get maybe 4-6 fancy pigeons for no other reason than my own enjoyment - they will be kept in my shed which will be converted accordingly - i have been doing plenty of research but the one area i have been having trouble with is the actual purchasing of pigeons - i realise that they can be bought off the internet but i am not convinced how reliable this is, i am also aware that they can be bought from pigeon lofts / fanciers but i do not want to pay through the nose for pedigrees as i do not see this is necessary when i am not looking to take them to shows or anything like that (yet). i would just like to know what you're views are on this and if you know any reliable fanciers i can buy off (i live in Stockport, Greater Manchester) thanks in advance any replies will be greatly appreciated.
