Basic rules apply Dave
You want as many performance pigeons running throughout the pedigree as possible
If that other family is also quite inbred then 2 inbred lines being brought together can be explosive
Phil and Jack have had lots of joy with the Heremans crossed into the Gaby
Thanks for your reply Mike cheers.

Have a mooch on old topics focussing on racing hens. Follow Neil’s advice on feeding
Main change for you is just 1 piece of exercise a day and 1 feed a day
If they are let out only once does that mean they need to do what they did in 2 pieces exercise but instead in 1 piece mike
