Hello folks

I'm looking to start out with fancy show pigeons, at the moment i'm considering some sort of Owls but looking for a bit of help as to what may be a good breed for a beginner to start with.

I breed and show ponies, rabbits and poultry so have plenty of breeding and showing experience but none with pigeons.

I spent a bit of time looking around the Pigeons at Cheshire show this year and planning to go to a couple more agricultural shows to look around and have a chat to some fanciers, also i've just found out that I live 5 mins from the Lancashire Fancy pigeon club so hopefully I can get about and meet a few people

I've always fancied a pair of fantails,theres a country park down the road from here with hundreds of them.

 

Are they as broody and paternal as people say they are?

 

I've heard they'll look after anything you put under them

aye i'm thinking bout getting a couple

 

visited a good flyer a few years back one of his widowhood cocks paired up to one at the start of the year as he was a hen short-it topped the fed 3 times that year.he said the hen was super affection which i suppose is half the battle with widowhood.

cannae imagine the youngsters wouldve done as well mind you hehe
