Why Buy Pigeons From Us?

We are offering Homing pigeons of racing quality. We don’t have any particular strain nor do we offer pedigrees. I am not claiming that these pigeons are all champion racers, but I do claim that these pigeon families have won races and diplomas for me.
I have spent a bunch of money buying birds online and at auctions. I have even bought race winners. I have found my best breeders are pigeons from other guys’ race teams that were no longer of use to them. I am returning to the sport after 25 years of not flying. I have had to buy birds to build a team. I am disappointed in the many over priced birds with long pedigrees that were supposedly race winners and breeders of winners.
The most money I have spent was for one 500 mile multi winning cock. I bought from an internet pigeon auction website. This bird has not produced a single youngster to even make it in the clock. When I bought this bird he arrived at my house with no papers to prove that he was ever even in a race. When I contacted the seller he said he would work on getting me a copy of a race sheet but after a year I gave up waiting on that paper. I am embarrassed to admit how much money I actually paid for this pigeon. My point is that spending a lot of money hasn’t been the answer for me. At the end of the 2 young bird seasons my race and diploma winners are from pigeons I paid less than 50.00 for. I am selling racing pigeons from my race team that are just to good to dispose of. I wish I could keep all of my birds but space doesn’t permit me to have a whole lot of these wonderful animals.

Racing Homing Pigeons

Pigeon racing is a sport involving the release of specially trained racing pigeons, which then return to their homes over a carefully measured distance. The time
it takes the animal to cover the specified distance is measured and
the animals’ rate of travel is calculated and compared with all of the other pigeons in the race to determine which animal returned at the highest rate of speed. Racing Homing Pigeons is a fun and exciting hobby. Getting involved can be as simple as owning a couple of birds to having hundreds of these small athletes. The cost can be small to large. I would caution you against jumping in too deep too fast. These birds require your time and energy Daily. To be competitive you will need to study about health and training. If this is your first time keeping pigeons, start small. Remember also they are very prolific. If you only have one pair and they are not separated you will soon be over run with them.

2. Mutations‎ > ‎

2.2 The Color Series

There are two mutations known to exist at this locus in pigeons. The colors of the phenotypes caused by these mutations may be modified or hidden by other genetic factors such as recessive white, but every pigeon has is either wild-type or has a mutation at this locus.
The color series consists of three alleles at the color locus on the sex chromosome. That is correct, color is a sex-linked factor in pigeons. This means that males may be heterozygous or homozygous for any color factor (they get a copy from both father and mother) while the females can only be hemizygous (they only get a copy from their father, from their mother females get the W chromosome and not a Z chromosome).
The three phenotypic colors (wild type and the two mutants) and their expression are described below.

Blue (Wild type)

Blue is the most common color found in pigeons, many (if not most) racing homers are genetically blue. The birds on the previous page discussing the pattern series, were all blue base pigeons. In blue pigeons, the basic color is a bluish gray, with the pattern on the shield as well as the tail bar a darker color, almost black. The flights are also dark, but not always as dark as the pattern and tail bar. The symbol for blue is B+.

Ash-Red

Ash-red is the most dominant allele of the color series. This mutation causes the base color to change from blue to an ashy gray color, the tail bar and the flights change to the same ashy color, while the pattern on the wing shield turns a brick-red color. This means that in ash-red birds the tail bar and the albescent strip are very difficult if not impossible to see clearly. The symbol for ash-red is BA.

In heterozygous males (BA//B+ or BA//b), it sometimes happens that the feathers are lightly flecked with the colour hidden by the ash-red, the flecking is often more noticeable on the flights and tail, though they can occur anywhere. This means that an ash-red cock split for blue might show some blue flecking in the flights and tail.

If you want to get technical about it, this mutation causes the inhibition of eumelanin deposits and/or production in the feathers. Eumelanin is the black pigment that produces the blue (grey) and black seen in wild-type birds. The ash-red mutation also causes an increase in the production and deposition of pheomelanin, a red pigment. The combination of these factors causes the red and cream (ash) appearance of this phenotype.

Brown

Lastly, the brown allele at this locus is the most recessive. This mutation changes the base color from a bluish gray to a brown gray. The pattern, tail and flights are a darker brown instead of black. Brown coloration fades considerably in the sun. Sometimes the feathers that are exposed are so bleached that it is impossible to distinguish the tail bar when the tail is folded. Spreading the tail and wings is the only way to see if such bird is brown. Notice on the picture below how light the flights and tail are. Another very important distinguishing factor is that brown birds always show a false pearl eye. A false pearl eye looks rather duller than the eyes of blue and ash-red birds and does not show the intense coloration on the iris (which is either yellow-orange in wild-type birds or blue-white in real pearl eyed birds - more on that later)
