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.
