As just about every animal and crop production expert will attest, the crossing of two inbred lines produces offspring that far surpass the capabilities or performances of their parents. The same holds true for pigeons. Maintaining two pure lines of impeccable quality is an absolute must for this program to work. Finding the crossing combination that works is sometimes difficult and sometimes it drops out of the sky. Once the right cross is found, the wise flyer will attempt to make as many matings along these lines as he has breeders. Breeding late youngsters out of the top producing breeding cock and hen from family “A” and likewise from family “B”, assures the flyer of additional candidates for crossing. Don’t be afraid to mate-up brother-sister, father-daughter, etc., as long as strict selection (culling) is adhered to. Whether the fancier uses family lines or crosses families, keeping a good record is especially important. Without records, everything is hit-andmiss based on a fickled memory. No matter which route chosen, be patient. Make inquiries. Weigh information. Get second opinions. Seek sound advice. Don’t jump at the first offer of opportunity to put birds on the perches of your new loft.
Pam please tell Donnie these Hansennes do indeed have a lot of class. Large wings like I've never seen like maybe on a duck or owl. They have a lovely prance, and their Roman noses takes the cake. Love it! Keep up the good breeding Donnie.
Dear Don,
Just sending a gift for my appreciation for getting such nice Sion birds from you. When I get some youngsters from them, I will send you some photos. I am still planning on purchase another hen and cock. Have a good breeding season with your birds.
Received birds this morning here in Missouri. They are safe and both beautiful.
Beautiful female pigeon. Lovely mix of colors, fether quality and great posture. I figured her picture wasn't the best pose. The male is impressive and very masculine looking and I'm happy to say they are calm and get along very well together. Thanks again they are gorgeous....
The birds arrived today got them all tucked in the loft. You saved the best for last I think there nice birds ,,only sorry I didn't buy a couple of the other hens. Thanks alot
Hello. I received the birds today they look great. Thank you very much.
The Hen is here! Awesome bird & I can feel the power just holding her. She is very calm pigeon & that is always a plus. Thanks so much!
Hi this is Nate from Wisconsin. I just wanted to let you know the Andalusian cockbird made it here in good shape today. Thanks again!
Hi Don, birds are adapting well. I like their presentaion & calmness. Looks like they will fit in with my birds. I see what you mean about the BB. We'll see how he produces. Might b a genetic thing & go away when crossed with and unrelated hen.
Regards
Jim
