My first Dragoons!

Nice birds Henry! Always liked Dragoons, but have never kept them. What year are they? Dave

they are cool!.....just a suggestion, you might want to put a flat board in there with them, that wire looks a bit big for their feeties, or a few bricks would work too. nice birds.

Thanks for the comments guys! I'm really excited about these birds. I was telling my wife the other day that I would like to have some Dragoons one day and BAM! I got my first pair....thanks to max.

Dave - Max told me in an email how old they were but I can't find that email anymore....I'll have to check their bands later this afternoon to find out.

Nice catch Spirit!....I noticed that when i put them in there this morning. I've got a piece of plywood that runs across 1/2 of the wired flooring for now.

Henry, the only reason i am asking is i really like their heads, and was wondering how long it takes them to get "Carnicles" or what the term is. Dave

Dave, I wanna say 2005 but don't quote me on that. So that would make them 4 years old. I'll confirm that this evening.

They are beautiful Henry! Dave

Thanks Dave!, I can't wait to see how there young turn out! I know the cock is called a black splash....what would call the hen?...dun splash?

Henry, just a guess, light grizzle? LOL! i am not a color breeder...... Yet!

Hi HENRY, Those are very nice birds that you have there I hope that you will be showing them or their youngsters this year at the PAGEANT OF PIGEONS. Dragoons are a bidr that I plan to have some day but I am over crowed now . GEORGE

It would be great to see pictures of the youngsters.....

Lol...I'll try to produce my own with the pair you sent. It's good to know that they can push out an all black bird! We'll have to see what I get from their first clutch.
