Breeding Season

[CJ. Thomas]

How is everyone breeding season coming, any birds that are going to be good next year. I finally built individual breeding pens in my loft for my English Trumpeters, Also I have a good pair of Komorner Tumblers that I think are going to lay soon. Anyone else have anything to say? Anyone else breed English Trumpeters and Komorner Tumblers for show?

Hello, I just built new breeding pen`s also. But the problem is I open the door when the hen starts setting on the eggs. And most of the cocks find their way into the wrong nest and start fighting with the birds in the wrong nest. I think they get confused and don`t know which one is theirs. I found a Royal Snow cock in the wrong nest and when I put him in the right one he acted so releived and started kissing his mate! So I locked them all back up in their nests for now. Their good sized nests but stacked on top of each other. Any suggestions on how to keep them from getting confused? Thanks, Pat

Hello members of PigeonTalk!
My fantails are off to a great start. Two young in the nest and 4 eggs in the nest. A total of 3 Mated pair of Indian Fantails, 6 Mated pair of Reg.Fantails and 2 extra cock bird Indians, 2 YB's Indians and 4 Reg. Fantails YB's. Which leaves me with...You do the math :P lol Anyhow I'm off to a great start and hope you are too.
Do you have that Champion Bird in your loft?

Most of the people I know have them locked up in their own cage for the whole breeding season, and I think that is what I am going to do. I hope I have champions in my loft but I have not be able to show them yet, all of my English Trumpeters come from top breeders in the country like Bob Nolan, Joe Hammons, and John Fife. Tha pair of Komorners that I have came from a lady name Tori who said that their brother and sister have won at shows, and they look like they could.

Hello, So far I`m doing pretty well with Old German Owls,took best silver bar at Grand Nationals,Working on Moorheads and Royal Snow Tumblers, along with Russian T, Coop T,and Norwegian T.I like the muffed birds,and have found out the hard way to start off with good stock!It can put a breeder so far behind!I will leave the birds in there nest during breeding season,save allot of problems. Sounds like you should have pretty nice birds at the end of the season... Pat

Hey that is way cool that you won best silver bar at the grand nationals sounds like you have some pretty good birds. Yea it seems like I have some good birds but I have alot of improvemnets to make on the through breeding because one bird has a good crest and bad muffs when another has a bad crest and good muffs. I have not heard of most of the type of birds you raise, if you like birds with muffs you should get some English Trumpeters they have some of the biggest muffs in the pigeon world.
Thanks,

Hey, that would be cool,but I have enough birds for now,I think my wife would shoot me if I got more. I`ve got to level off for now and work with the one`s I have.You can look at Norwegian Tumblers on Garrett Ramsey`s site, Midnight Forest lofts. Go to the Rare breeds club.There colorfull and real pretty birds. Later, Pat

[CJ. Thomas]

What is the address to the website I tryed looking for it but couldn't find it. Hey tell your wife, if you really love me you let me get one more pair. J/K ha, ha. How long have you been showing and raisng pigeons?

[patspigeons]

Sorry, I guess he`s not on that one,but on Ultra Rare site, try this,http://www.angelfire.com/or2/norske/ copy and past.Have a good one,later Pat

[CJ. Thomas]

Oh ya I have been to that site before. I like it all of the types pigeons do look cool how old is Garrett he looks to be around my age, I am guessing 20. Does he breed Komorner Tumblers, He has a page for them but has nothing on it, I was wondering because I need more people to join this Komorner Group that I am in, it is active that much so I am trying to change that it is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KomornerTumblers/ if you want to go and check it out. How long have you been raising pigeons.

[CJ. Thomas]

Hey nick how long have you been raising pigeons, and how old are you?

Hello, I`m pretty sure Garrett still has KT`s.He`s a good kid.Pretty sharp with pigeons.I had pigeons when I was a boy,mostly tumblers and fantails.Started back again about 4yrs ago.Very enjoyable hobby.And have met lots of nice people allong the way.Are you thinking of getting into Komorners?See if you can find some that still tumble. Pat

[CJ. Thomas]

Hey Pat, I guess I have to start talking with him about komorners, I already have a pair but will be getting somemore soon. I know him of him from english trumpeters but have not talk to him, he sounds like he know what he is talking about, he will be hard competition when I get older and show around the country. Do you have fantails know. Your story sounds like me I first had a pair of white pigeons but got ride of them to get into parrots but then I sold my parrots to get back into pigeons. For the most part the dont tumble because the are mainly breed for show. But I am think I could get a pigeon that has the closest qualities to a komorner that tumble and then breed it back into them.
