Champ is awesome! Also I totally agree that anything that has been bred in your loft is now a Rocky Ridge Pigeon; in Europe none of the guys list off the bloodlines, maybe who they got their original pigeons from but nothing further as all babies our their own not someone else’s.
It seems pointless to list the bloodlines when I cross them the way I feel appropriate to get the best possible young. So those young ones will be Rocky Ridge Pigeons. Thanks for the info Scott.
All the babies are looking good and I love the friendly pigeon. Mike, thank you for always coming through with your videos and we love them. Thank you for sharing your passion with us😊
@@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons How are you doing Rocky? If you get any more babies from the kiddos, let me know I’ll pick up a male or female or both. Thank you.
Back in the 50s an 60s we used tobacco stems for the nesting pairs this helped ward off the various parasites like flat flys, red mites that fed on the young squabs.
We have it much easier these days, one quick spray on the nest pad with permethrin, and all those parasite problems are gone. Also, I individually medicate each bird prior to breeding season with moxa dextrin, which takes care of internal and external parasites. Although having nesting material definitely keeps the birds more happy. Thanks for your comment my friend.
Hello Mike, Hope you're well. Interesting, that now you have added Pakistani flyers to your collection. I love the idea of having different kinds of birds including fancy ones too. The other kind that I like is the Lahore pigeon as well. I love the color pattern and the overall look of them. Yeah, that team of young lads looks ready and ready to go!! That new loft is beautiful and seems so long. Those youngsters look ripe to challenge the skies!! Have you ever paired a Black Eagle with a Rocky Ridge white? Good luck with your upcoming races and continued success. Cheers!!
Interesting you should say that about Lahore Pigeons. We almost got a some about a year ago. I have crossed black eagles with Rocky Ridge whites and got a whole array of different color birds including red, but mostly they were black and white splashes. They always did fly well.
Hi Mike beautiful Champ question where did you get the cages where your keep your breeding pairs in I am interested in getting them to let me know and thanks for sharing god Bless
I got them from Foy’s pigeon supply. I wouldn’t want to breed Pigeons without them although there is a lot of cleaning involved and maintenance but it’s a very effective way to breed Pigeons.
I never thought of that, but there is a cage around the fan which you probably couldn’t see in the video while it was running. But thanks for your comment.
Sorry to hear you’re having trouble finding good racing Pigeons have you checked out my website look in the description of this video and you can see a link to my Pigeons for sale website.
@@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons I appreciate that and do you know around how much shipping is I live in the southern part of Ohio me and my family love watching your videos the are informational and enjoyable to watch 👏🏼 I will definitely check out your website 🐦🐦
Thank you for watching, and for noticing details. The droppings are subjective according to the feed when, using pellets, they usually have brownish more runny type of droppings. Thanks for your comment.
@@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons I would never feed pellets to pigeons again. I did it once in 1987 and it was a huge failure. Why? 1. I had great young ones in the nest, they had grown really well, but none of them were able to win a race. That means in Europe for young pigeon racing, old pigeon racing for 3 years the vintage is a total failure. This also means that there will be no breeding results for all newly purchased breeding pigeons and all newly assembled breeding pigeons that year. You cannot judge the offspring and the inheritance of the parents in that year. 2. Pigeons are grain eaters and have a gizzard to crush the grains by grinding the grains with pebbles, after which they were allowed to swell in the crop with the help of water in the first step. This is completely eliminated if you feed pellets. You're still feeding corn. But the pigeons don't like to eat this big corn and so it is often left over and the pigeons refuse to eat it because they have to regurgitate it to feed it to the young pigeons in the nest. If you feed less, they will eat the corn, but the young will stop growing. 3. Pellets dissolve in the goiter, the stomach doesn't have to work and the porridge just passes through the body. 4. I can judge the quality of grains by their smell, color and shape. When grains are ground, many natural vitamins oxidize very quickly and artificial ones are added to compensate. 5. The feces are difficult to assess because the pellet pulp passes through the body too quickly. 5. I don't know of any good breeders in Europe who use pellets and dominate in races and win championships. Think about it. And I have visited many.++++++We call this large corn “horse tooth corn” and you won’t find it in modern pigeon feed mixtures for a good 35-40 years. I know her from the 1970s.

Hi Mike thanks for video. The Champ looks great 😘😘😘😘
Thanks for watching my friend
Your birds look incredible Mike 👍😊
Thank you 🙏
The birds are looking good.
You have had a very successful breeding season. Good luck with them all.
Thanks Thomas 👍 I have banded about 80 so far! Getting a good size, young bird team going. Hope you’re having fun with your birds buddy
@@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons wow that’s alot of birds. Slow start this year but that’s okay. I probably need to downsize my breeders.
Nice work Mike. That Champ sure is a nice bird. Oh and thanks for the feed mix tip, my babies (I think) are moving along faster this year.
Glad to help my friend. Mine are all nice and healthy and I think it’s a great way to go. Best of luck.

The aggressive one would be a super widowhood bird.
I wish she was one of my flyers, but he flew for a friend in Indiana and would not be wise to fly him here. Thanks for your comment.

Hope running exhaust fan doesn't hurt the champ if he lands on it.

I need a pair so bad I can't find anyone with racers around my town it is a bunch of roller pigeon 🐦 but not one single racer 😰🤣

Do you sell young birds after race season
Yes I do breed some for fanciers and share them on my website rockyridgepigeons.com
