Origin:
Gilbert, Iowa in September, 1952. The original bird was a cock of mixed King
and Racing Homer stock bred by W. F. Hollander. This is one of the few cases on
record of a dominant mutation's origin. Both of the bird's parents were old
(seven and nine years) and the sire was in bad health.
Description:
Typically the feathers on the lower beak are reversed, pointing forward instead
of back in a streamline. The extent varies, sometimes including the ear
feathers and even forming an upright beak crest on the frontal, but in other
birds hardly noticeable.
Size:
Although originally from large stock, the characteristics has been readily
introduced into Tumblers by crossing.
Colors:
No relationship with any particular coloration or pattern has been found.
Comment:
Sideburns may be considered a new type ornament which like crest or neck frill
can be bred into any breed desired. Study of the genetics of this mutation is
still incomplete. The pure condition has not been produced and possible
relationships with crest or neck frill have not been tested
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.
