If you want to try pair up certain birds. You have to separate them for at least six months. But sometimes they still go back to their mate they had originally in the same loft. And if you want to race, you have to start breeding the first part of the year. I like to have my birds paired up by December 15 and have the lights on for at least. 7 hours. My lights come on at 4:30 go off at 11:00 pm
Thanks Jack I’ll take this into consideration since I have a lot of time. No rush for young birds for our loft since I won’t be doing any racing anytime soon, will try to separate the birds for now. Wow, December 15 that’s this week! I’m guessing the 4-11 lights come on is for summer hours, cool. Thanks again
@@firstflightloft you are welcome. I trying to help much as can. The reason I put my birds together by December 15 so they have young birds in January and by the time the racing season comes around, they’re at least three months old before you start training or racing so you don’t lose the birds
Another thing yes you can feed your pigeons pellets mixing with the other fee I've been doing it for years and it works wonderful and you're young ones will be very healthy with the pellets
Sup brother, great group of birds you got and that’s a great start especially if you’re starting to lean towards racing. In my opinion I feel the first year or two get to know what you have in your birds. Pair up as much as you want to handle, but for me I usually like to breed out atleast two rounds from each pair and form a young bird team. With a young bird team developed, work on applying on a system you can duplicate yearly on weaning,training,loft flying, road training with your team. Get your birds out to atleast 100 - 150 air miles towards the end of the season and let the birds cull themselves out. Very important to keep notes on babies off of pairings that are still around at the end of the year, those are the ones can get you going in the right direction. Only work with what can perform and it starts with having the brain and heart to come home. As the year goes by you can start looking at investing in high end birds but not necessary until you know what you have in your family of birds first. Your mentors can be your best help so ask questions. My biggest tip is don’t be afraid to lose birds. Keep up the great work and keep them videos coming especially with your pigeon journey. Good luck
Thanks HueX for the 2cents, I believe a lot of dedication can go a long way and spending lots of time knowing the birds. I will try my best this season to cull out birds and keep the ones that keep coming home. Consistency performers will shine. Thanks HueX
