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