Guest Paulo Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Any body ever bred nestmate to nestmate or is it a big no no with racing pigeons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jason Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 I've tried it once or twice when I first started (6 years ago) but that was cause I was short of birds, but the young off them never did anything so wouldn't do it again. jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CS Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 If you need any YBs next year, Just let me know. mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paulo Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 cheers mate you know what the agony of starting ups like killing me trying to decide what to breed next year. Guess I just need to chill out and make a good stab with the young uns next year and concentrate on getting them all home in good time and not be too worried about chalks. Will prob take a few year to get a decent familly of birds going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paulo Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 going to get 40 rings craig two teams of 20.00 at the moment I've got nestboxes for 8 pairs. Still trying to work out what I'm going to do for pairs as I think some of the older birds may be infertile both cocks and hens which is a shame as they are the best I have off the orginal stock when the old man flew. How many young uns do you think I should aim for off each pair 3 rounds or will that be too much? 8x 2 = 16 youngsters every round 16 x 3 = 48 youngsters Got a couple of youngsters promised to other people who are starting up. 10 in total all together. so that leaves 38 providing everything goes to plan which it never does so I will prob have to contend with smashed eggs etc. I'll make it somehow mate I hope lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NANCYVIEWLOFTS Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 nest mate to nest mate is ok if you want them for stok then the youngsters off them should be paired together then next time you out cross we are assuming that you have a good cock or hen in the first place in doing it this way you are getting as close as possible to the parents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiley Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 but champion tommy tucker of the lefebre dhaenens was out of a brother sister nest pairing and he was a good bird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DECKY Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 nest mate to nest mate is perfect for stock. put the off spring to another inbred bird from different family and let the pot boil. sometimes dynamite results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
