Hi all,
I'm new to this fabulous website and would just like to say 'Hallo from beautiful South-Africa' to all you wonderful people
I reside in South-Africa in the lowveld region close to the Kruger National Park, I've been raised in a racing pigeon home yet now that I'm all grown up and own my own house, I finally decided to build my own loft and to get started with Fancy pigeons (as they have always been more of my thing); currently I have French Mondains, Holle Croppers and Brunners; my first pair of Holle Croppers just laid their eggs yesterday and one pair of my Mondains started as well, so I'm well on my way However I will also begin with Jacobin pigeons, Ice pigeons and Hungarian House Pigeons after this weekend as I'm going to recieve a breeding pair of each of the above over this weekend.
I have a few questions for any 'old timers' willing to help haha, first of all I would like to know how many times a month can I give my pigeons the following pills/tablets: Garlic and Cod Liver oil? I have given them each one of the above already but I just want to know how many times a month they should recieve it in order to stay in top condition? The I also want to know how many times a month/week I should give them Apple Cider Vinegar and Brewers Yeast? And also Multi-vitamins in the water...? I have purchased all of the above in order to keep my show pigeons in tip top shape however can someone please assist me with a possible schedule as to how many times a week I should give what of the above exactly? Thank you I really appreciate any answers and assistance, I love pigeons and I'm really happy to have found this wonderful website!!!
My aim is to have the most beautiful and well maintained show pigeons in the area ANY tip on keeping show pigeons in great condition would be greatly appreciated!
(Finishing note/details; I currently have one loft with 8 pairs all mixed together, Brunners, Holle Croppers and Mondains however they do not interbreed and stick with their own mates, I will however be building another seperate loft for the Jacobins, Ice Pigeons and Hungarian house pigeons...my loft sizes are 2.5 meter x 2.5 meter x 2.5 meters; I cannot build seperate lofts for each type as that would mean 8 lofts, so some of them have to share with the others, I do however keep an eye on them and they do not cross breed, they have their own nest boxes and stay in it with their respective mates)
