Hi, i have a feeling that the last 6 white hens i have been given are Modena's.  I will take a photo and post on this site at the weekend.  I have logans, but these are smaller, with smaller heads and eyes and beaks.  

 

My question is are Modena's able to fly about 50 mile's, do they have the homing instinct of racing pigeons.  

 

Oh and finally what would happen if a logan and a modena mated??????  (yes i know there would be eggs) but would the resulting bird be any use for dove release???? ::)

Maybe steph or chrissy would help you on that one. :)

kings would be no good for flying home, most of the fancy breeds would never find their way home from 10 miles never mind 50

Smaller than logans mabe they are birmingham rollers with the smaller heads and beaks. Kings or Modenas would be a lot bigger

Look like normal white pigeons, possible they are classed as garden doves a dilute form or garden fantail or mixed with rollers. Definately not Kings or Modenas

Cheers Dovescot, at least i can rule modena's out then.  Possible could be part roller, seems i have some detective work to do, thanks!

 

I would be interested if they were white rollers ;)

LOOKS LIKE THE SMALLER 1S ARE WHITE GARDEN PIGEONS  VERY SMALL COMPARED 2 THE LOGANS MAYBE INBRED....

 

If they are then, that means i can't use them for dove release doesn't it? :-/

Never know till you test them, we had one similar that escaped and found it's way home 30 miles from us no training, sadly the other two did not. That might happen with any bird even a homer :-/

I still think they are small roller crosses or dilute fantails

Take them out and test at small distances, maybe suit some releases :-/

  NOT 100% BUT CROSSED TO THE BIG 1S WHY NOT.......STEVE MAYLETT ON P/CHATS DAD HAS SOME WHITE LOGANS  PM HIM SEE IF HE CAN HELP OUT....OR USE THE SMALLER 1S AS FOSTER PARENTS FOR THE LOGANS....

Cheers for that, i will try them out, but am keen to know exactly what they are.  I'll try and find out, but yes they could be okay for some of the releases couldnt they?  Thanks for the advice. ;D

Once you home them you will find out, keep your Logans for the longer distance releases.

If they start rolling you know where I am ;) ;) ;)

Logans can train at any distance, but ya need to build the distance up first...
