In the meantime most fanciers have decided for themselves which couples they are going to form in their breeding lofts. For many, this also means that they are already linking the cocks and hens or are planning to do so in the very near future. It should not be forgotten that the so-called winter breeding is not only stressful for the pigeons, but that it also brings additional worries and work for the enthusiast. After all, winter breeding goes against nature and proper preparation is necessary if the fancier wants to obtain good breeding results.

Pigeon fanciers consciously or unconsciously use different breeding methods to build their strain from which they hope to breed a strong racing team and well-performing youngsters. In this article we take a look at some of those breeding methods.

In the coming years, we will probably see more and more pigeon fanciers switching to mixtures with a much higher utilizable protein. These mixtures contain a limited amount of legumes and a much higher content of soy and fat-rich seeds with a protein content that is 2 times more suitable for pigeons.

Growing pigeons is fairly easy. Cultivating good pigeons is different.

We limit ourselves to the fanciers who received the hard verdict of their doctor (assisted by an advice from specialists), that they have to stop the pigeon sport or at least have no longer contact with their pigeons. Many a fancier can confirm that he or she knew for a long time or at least had a suspicion for a long time. In many cases this is a ban that is experienced as a disappointing experience among fanciers.
