kings have a rounder body, and sometimes are larger, the homers have the same body style as any of the color homers.

Here is a pic of a king:

they are not only stockier, but also don't have the ability to fly as well as homing pigeons, they can fly but wouldn't do well outside at all. Their wings are shorter as are their tails. They don't have the speed or agility of homers in flight.

Looks kind of like a roller, hard to tell! Dave

Do you think he is a mutt???? How can u tell the difference from a male and a female pigeon when they are babies???

Well, after 40 years, i can not do it! LOL! Dave

HEY lets get back to the question that was started in this thread, and stop stealing someone else's thread!!! To answer the question. You must understand that there two types of KINGS they are the show type and the utility type. The show type is a very round bird and is more chicken like while the utility type is built and looks like a pigeonThe show type is a poor flier at best,the utility type is a much better flier. The show King weight is between 30 to 37 ounces while the utility type goes at about24 to 30 ounces. Now a racinhg homer goes around 15 to 18 ounces so you can see that a race bird is a bit smaller GEORGE

Sorry George, for some reason i thought it was the same poster... Dave

looks alot like a roller

looks like a roller, also kings have a red circle around their eyes, and theyr chest r wider, and bigger, they dont fly well, and r bigger in general, birmingan rollers are bigger than jaconnetes rollers, he looks like a birmingan roller. also notice his wings are checkered, he might be a homer roller mix
