proper age of breeding pigeons

[mobster]

what is the proper age of a pigeon for us to start to breed?

[Guest shadow]

I would not let them start breeding until the are yearlings

[mobster]

thanks shadow. what are the pros and cons on breeding them younger than a year?

[Guest shadow]

The birds are still developing and growing themselves so they do not want to be rearing young

[mobster]

how about if they pair up at a younger age naturally ,say 7months? they rear youngs. is there a posibility that their young wont perform well on race?

Mobster--just try a young pair--learn like the rest  of us did. Then you can pass along  what you learned "frist hand". You can not guess how good a pigeon is until you have flown it. It may be the best flyer you will ever own--It may be the first one you should have put in the bin.
