Looking good so far, by #1 tip would be to be careful of those power wires though! They unfortunately are prone to hitting the wires and injuring themselves. You planning on racing them in the future? It is a shame you're so far away otherwise I'd hook you up with some more reds ;)

I used to fly birds in MN, started out catching wild ones as a boy. The whitish nob above the beak is called the waddle by almost all fanciers and it grows bigger as the bird ages especially in cocks. Theres different names for the red colored birds but generally referred to as silver bars or mealy with the solid pattern being the most dominant in all colors of pigeons.

Pine Needles Green or Dry are excellent for pigeon nesting material it deters mites and keeps insects out of the nest as well as holds heat better.

Love your channel, you have a great spirit

Great video! I can't wait to see them more in the videos :D And yes, let's see that beard going down :)))

as some has said be careful with power lines. sometimes they run right into them so pick a spot with no lines around. also if you dont already check in on getting some grit for your birds. itll make them prettier and healthier. also helps hens get calcium if you get the all in ones. small investment of 40 or so bucks. worth a try but im sure once you do it you'll like it.

Your best best would be to build your team around the 3time winning bird and use most of the other pairs just to incubate and raise his chicks..that way you will end up with a team of great birds

thanks for sharing. I love your place with lots of room to raise all sorts of animals. I love to see you buid a VIP cage for the winner bird and pair him with another winner bird.

Just picked up to 3 months old Homer's keep the pigeon videos coming

That was cool, the beat ya home lol Keep on keeping on

Those are nice homing pigeons right there. I had a pigeon that was 12 years old and he was still able to breed to this day.

If you are looking to clean up your pond without buying expensive mechanical filters then you need aquatic plants. Slowly but surely aquatic plants will clean up and oxygenate the water. Popular pond plants like lilies and water hyacinth are great but with all that fertilizer(poop) they are likely to take over the pond and you may have to do extra work clearing out the plants. So the other option is you could look into growing native aquatic plants like cattails and arrowheads which should be great for the water, turtles, and other wildlife. I hope this helps. Great channel and love the pigeons!

There is a product called Muck Away that might help. Then the best thing to get is good aquatic plants that will filter the water.

Nice group of racing pigeons. Love the colors on them.

Use to be pigeon fancier in Northern Wisconsin, red bar is know as a silver, and the spotted white/ black looking are know as grizzles. Breeds could be imbrecks, Jansen, or Fabre's. The white thing on top of the beak is called a waddle

Dude those pigeons look amazing! You got some pearl eyed ones. You gotta breed them to test their youngsters homing instinct. 2008 ain't that old, as long as they produce. I know a fancier who still breed 2002 to 2004 birds and can still produce healthy youngs. Those pigeons can live upto 20+ years aslong as they are fed good.

Don't forget to add about a 1\3 of a syringe of Equimax it's a Dewormer for horses but 1\3 of syringe into a gallon jug fill quarter of the way with hot water until it's all dissolved then top off with cold water serve to pigeons for 3-5 days get rid of all the worms they may have

Definitely gotta watch it letting them up under the wires like that, can certainly mess them up as @Adam Archer mentions! Also if they have been flying out for over a month now they should be out ranging on there own! When doing this, they would normally be heading out around 5 miles or so themselves! personally I don't let up at less than 3 miles as a first training toss! In the UK we call the colours the following: Red Bars = Mealy's Whites with black/grey bits = Grizzles As for the white bit on the top of the beak, in the UK we call it a "Wattle" Good luck!!

Good man I used to race pigeons in the uk just a word of advice pal I would be Dubois of releasing them around power lines but other than that great video 👍

Like your video nice birds good luck in your pigeon adventure 👍🤙

Good luck with them racing pigeons 👍👍

nice racing pigoen,,, buddy pick some good pairs and breed them in different cages to have good racing team in same time same age

That awesome they done well I wish you best of luck for new blue bars keep breeding them you get beautiful yangs future awesome race

You and Bobby have persuaded me into raising pigeons and now I have 7 Birmingham rollers

Beautiful pigeons!!

i think sir jordan you need to change the loft and then install a trap door so that the pigeon will not be stressed😊😊always watching your video from philipines😊

Thanks for the pigeon vids ❤️

Force pair him with a young stock hen bird. Good work jordan

The 3 time winner Dark Check W/f looks to be of the "Jan Aarden" strain. They are typically dark check with white flights and are great distance birds.

Regarding the pond, fill her with plants! Floating plants and fast growing trees The plants will aid in the nitrogen cycle and use up the nutrients put off by the waste. It’ll take alooooot of vegetation, but the pond should start clearing up pretty quickly

Love your homers keep on breeding them they are strong powerful birds very very smart.

You keep getting some good birds bro wow

Cool looking bird's dude...

You have some good guys there buddy...and the last ones you got are awesoooome as well...but next time you take them far from the loft try not to let them fly beside the wires 😊

Every bird u shown are Top class 👍

Beautiful bird's my friend

Enjoyed your video do you not eat anything out of the lagoon we have a lot of dairies around here and drain ponds I would never think of eating anything out of any of them

Good lovely work ❤️

Nice video about the pigeons! Most of the birds you've shown are cockbirds. Pretty nice though! Hope you have got enough hens! Ready for youngsters and a bigger loft!? 😀👍👍

Very nice racing birds ....awsomee

A really important tip is that when u take them out 1 mile and then another say u take them 5 miles out and then they take a long time to return and maybe some don’t return together but return then you have to do the same distance that they had difficulty’s on so you don’t loose them

If you like reds you should do a whole kit of red roller pigeons some could have a Lil white in them even bald heads in red . That's a nice scene to watch flying . I had a kit of them when I was young I'm in my 40s now I hope I can get a kit going in my near future lol

Love wild asparagus, but more people are getting into it. Put some bullheads in the pond.

We need another odd eats Jordan!!

wow cool pigeons 😍😍

The red check you was holding and asked what the beak was it is the pigeons wattles the older the pigeon the bigger the wattles

Its called a cere around the eye and a wattle on the beak. Texas bird was probably sold to someone for breeding. Which means it came from a racing loft and had a pedigree at one point

Put that champ bird with a young hen. Get them on minerals and vitamins and get them producing. I personally raise competition Rollers (NBRC Pigeon Club) It is fun and you meet some great people.

You need some pigeon bob Windows for your loft and a perch were they can let them selves back in and can't get back out and a hawk can't get in there open door .

You can get freshwater muscles from fishing game they have fisheries that produce them and put them in your pond you just seed them out there just throw them out and they will filter the water and then getting something like ducks that will stir up the mud so that the muscles can filter that as well will help even more.

Mehnn you have an amazing birds🤗🤗love them keep up

Them baby's are ready to ring mate

Hi from Australia nice birds

Subscriber here from Philippines! I love racing pigeons.

Nice birds and breed 👌

I certainly wouldn't be releasing so near to power wires, as when released they normally circle a couple of times to get height.

Look great mate, just one bit of advice, any pigeon fanciers will tell you this, when you release them don’t release them near over head wires, they have a tendency to come flying out the box and smash into them, they can get killed or pick up some real bad injuries

hey you should put a water sprouter for the pond and blue tented weed killer and you should do some more pigeon trapping

Beautiful pigeon sir i like that

What sort of race bands do you have? Custom ones of eBay? Or Kansas rings?

You need an aerator for one. Second, barley hay bales work well, put new ones in every 3 month or decayed away depending on size. The best is a up light but probably not feasible. Adding blue dye which is harmless helps keep the light from penetrating as deep so it doesn’t grow as well. Some ideas…

how did you decide to get into the hobby? I find this facinating. it is such a big commitment. I only have 19. The 2008 Blue Bar you showed, bird #3, F'N gorgeous. the fleshy part on the beak is called the wattle, the wattle and fringe of eyelid is the cere. the thick shape. fantastic. the big boy at the end, he looks like an English Carrier with that face. I love that look.

You probably won’t see this but my grandad has had pigeons and raced them all his life and he has taught me that if the pigeon has a flat head it’s a hen if it’s round it’s a cock bird

nice looking birds!!!!!

Love watching from Philippines 😍😘

Lime will help for sure!!

Your birds are awesome. I don’t know how you handle this, your young daughter I saw is adorable, if it was me I wouldn’t let her go in with them without a respirator. Seeing all the dust fly around and such a young immune system. The open air pens are fine, but that barn attic can hold a lot of unseen bird droppings that can accumulate. Maybe you don’t already….

Love your videos Jordan, i think you asked what’s the thing on their nose? It’s called a wattle 👍

It's best to train in just one direction. They can handle five miles at first toss. That's where I started training.

I try to keep up on the videos but might have missed it. How are his breedings going? I’ve raced for a long time in Texas and would like to hear more about him. I remember you trimmed him for breeding. If he’s truly 3x 650 mile he’s a Stud. I would isolate him if you haven’t with only the best hens you have. Loft breeding is sketchy, hens roam sometimes.

Hey Jordan! All your old racing pegions breed them pair them then Produce a young babies then separate them put them to your outside loft so that u have a lot of racing pegions outside and you can train them.

Loose hay works great for clearing up the water.

Nice birds! Make sure you take all the non racers out of that half of the loft so there's no mixed breeds. Don't waste time.... get some nest bowls in the loft to get some young birds. If i was you I'd get that champion cock bird and pair it with a nice red hen. Put them in a breeding box.. you need to pair him up in a smaller cage with a nest bowl in it.

Good morning Mark here from the Philippines the big noses here we call it carrier.. Im loving your pigeons .. separate your breeders from your flyers also the sections of youngbirds and oldbirds❤️🙏 take care

Nice pigeon sir..😍😍

The cheapest way you can make the water clear is to put a full size bale of barley straw in it. It works! But put it so your able to take it out. You need to switch it out every two years or so.

That's Awesome

There is some kind of treatment you can put in the pond make it blue could be some kind of fertilized

Honestly, your best option Will probably be a wildlife safe chemical to clear up that pond. It will be the fastest and maybe even cost you less money that fish would.

Wow. What a nice and beautiful racing pigeon. Can i have one. Hahaha happy flying. Im from phillippines

Okkk gonna buy some racing pigeons Cant resist anymore😅

Looks like you scored some nice birds. The old cock has years of breeding left in him. Try pairing with a young hen. Do you have a trap on the homer loft? It really helps . When the birds return from a training toss they can get in and stay in. Also helps keep predators out. I vote do not eat the turtle. Let him go, probably 30 years old . As for the manure lagoon, plant some marginal bog plants and throw in as much water hyacinth as you can buy. It will grow until it freezes and will cover the pond , using up a lot of ammonia and nitrogen from the water. You could always take it off before winter and toss it in the field.

hi. where u from?? did you sale them

Cattails grown around the edges and duckweed to clear water in the lake

Wow amazing pigeon..

SUPER All Raching pigeon bro

I was always told to put bales of straw in to clean up water.

Cool birds

50,000 or not keep the Beard that is who you are. Your personality!

Good job sir ...from philippines

Saddle homer are nice I got a few pairs

Yo man, those birds are lit 🔥 hoping that the pigeon racing hobby beings you joy . Pair the older stud to younger hen's . I hope they still can produce especially the 3x winner . Better know the pedigree of those pigeons because it will help you alot on breeding them

There are some plants u can put into the pond that feed on ammonia I hope this list helps.

It’s called a “CERE” and a bright white one indicates good blood flow, some refer to them as the wattles of the pigeon but it’s a cere. Really good conditioned healthy pigeons have a white with skin colored sides.. most assume all white chalky is best but not ideally. That grizzle is a “tortoise shell” and red bars are referred to as ash reds or “mealys” if any ash red (checks or bars show black flecks, in the tail and wings, it’s a cock)

Make some nest boxes and keep it just as is. Any bigger or higher you wont be able to catch them. let them pair themselves up . hope there still fertile.

Mr. Jordan you got very beautiful racing pigeons I like it how much did you pay for each bird ? Amaan from America 🇺🇸 GA

What ever happened with your seasoning?

Great vids dont have pet pigeons but have pet collard doves

Red bars / Mealy and also Red chequers if they have any black /dark marks or black flights / dark speckles they are cocks. Hens of the same colour don't have any dark on them at all . Hope it helps mate

Grass carps !
