Origin: This breed is an example of hundreds of breeds throughout the world about which little is known C.J. Trigg of Hongkong received specimens of this bred from India some years ago and for want a better name called it “Indian Pigeon”. All efforts on the part of Trigg and Ho in Hongkong and of the Author to positively identify the breed in India have failed, although the author has sent pictures to two eminent Indian breeders, one of whom is a Maharaja, and to many of the best posted pigeon fanciers in the world.
Description: A fancy breed which is short and chubby, thick-necked, full-breasted and soft feathered.
Size: Small, cocks average 14.5 ounces, hens 13.5 ounces
Ornaments: It is shell crested and small muffed.
Colors: Self in red, yellow, white and a lighter red as yet genetically unidentified.
Comment: Ho says the breed is tame and breeds rapidly. At one time he thought it resembled the Lotan but for 14 years he has never been able to get one to tumble or do a somersault.
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.
