Franconian heart-Magpie Pigeon with Origin Description Size Ornaments Color Comment Pictures and Video

Size: Medium, average weight 400 to 440 grams.

Ornaments: It is bred only plain-headed and clean-legged.

Pattern: Magpie as in the Scandaroon. The heart is the white crescent on the front of trhe neck.

Colors: Red, yellow, blue, blue checker, lark and silver. The eye is dark with a prominent red cere. The beak is long and powerful.



Comment: The breed is very rare in the United States, if it occurs at all.

Seven steps must follows for Pigeon growing:
The requirements for pigeon breeding are simple, but they must be followed to be successful. There should be no relaxing or neglect at any time, for it is much easier to prevent trouble than to eliminate disease, parasites or vermin once these have occurred.

1. A dry house with the inside protected from rain or snow.
2. Separate houses for mated pairs and odd birds.
3. A flypen, if the breed requires one that dries out easily.
4.  A suitable feed ration protected from contamination.
5. A suitable mineral ration protected from contamination.
6. Water suitable for human consumption protected from contamination.
7. Suitable nesting materials.
If any one of the seven is neglected, trouble of some sort will eventually occur.
