Thread: First night in the coop

yeh you can eat em. I had one breed called Mondain. They're real big birds, about twice the size of a wild pigeon you see around town. They taste like a cross between a chicken and a dove and about the size of a cornish hen.. I raised mine to fly though. I could take the homers off 300-400 miles and they'd be back home before you knew it. I remember one time I let them loose and I lined one up with a spot on my windshield and it was flying at 55 MPH. The Rollers would just fly real high, almost out of sight and make big circles around the house

Used to climb up in my grandfathers barn (maybe 65 years ago). Catch pigeons and give them to my grandmother. She seemed to appreciate them and said she cooked them.

Do some reading up on pigeon roost rd.

Can't wait to get some more

Ranger, we used to go catch 15-20 at the old Gin and the old railroad station in newton just before dove season and used them for target practice

That fantail bird looks tasty!! BWAHAHAHAHA

Suckers are HUGE. It's a French Mondaine. Leave it to the french to breed a pigeon that was great tablefare

I got 6 Rhode Island Reds and 6 Barred Rocks from a hatchery back in August. They were supposed to be all pullets. Now 4 of them are crowing. Lol
Pam won't let me eat them so I'm trying to find somebody to give the roosters to.
