[geordie1234]

Do you pair the pigeons or let them pair themselves and what's your reasons for this?

100% me George, but I'm a pedigree freak

[andy Burgess]

i choose the stock pairings , and have (at present) only put 1 race pair together , the other racers will select themselves.i am happy with the results the last 2 seasons

[just ask me]

i change the pairings every year so they be selected here

[andyyy]

I pair the lot up myself, with the race birds it's best to best. And with the stock birds i just pair depending on size, Breed where it's from and if it's been raced whats it's done and of course, If it's bred anything before. Like to swap round unless i get a good breeding pair.

With having a small loft I've got to make sure the breeding doesn't get too close,so need to take a bit of care when pairing.Where possible I will put a winning daughter off a good cock to another good racing cock.

I select my breeding pairs, and also my naturals as I tend to have a bird in the natural pairs not racing, this guarantees a mate on return from races(where possible). My widowers get to pick their own partner as I do not breed youngsters from them, but do allow them to rear a youngster from the stock team.

We leave the pairs which have bred winners and other positions together but we have 2,new pairings for this season

[Diamond dave]

I have already 'pre'-paired my selected pairings for next year before I split them up. I'm hoping it will help to ensure an easy and more successful breeding season when I bring them together in March.
