      These are all babies so they tend to be a bit more chill. Thanks for the kind words! 🥰

    Looking good, good luck this year. I like to keep some notes on my birds as well. A lot of people should be journaling their birds more frequently. Helps a lot for the further of understanding one’s bird.

    How do you know when to wean them? Age, appearance, behaviors?

    • @RFRP
      @RFRP  4 месяца назад +1

      @@BoroviewFarm I usually wean them a little later than most and do it primarily on appearance. Generally around 22 days old I put them on the floor. Then around 30 days I’ll put them in their own section.

    James, besides pedigree, what other factors should we consider when grading a pigeon, like they do on auction sites? What are the most critical factors in quality control? I'm working on creating an Excel file to track all the birds I have.

    • @RFRP
      @RFRP  8 месяцев назад

      That is great to hear! Ultimately, the only thing that proves a bird's worth is performance; either as a breeder or racer or both. But, when I'm grading my YBs before I send them out I'm mostly looking to weed out the weak ones. I like to see birds with good balance, strength (in the wing), and overall health. I like to see tight, closed vent bones but not all my birds have that, and that's OK. Hope that helps

    What software do u use for record keeping?

    • @RFRP
      @RFRP  8 месяцев назад +5

      I use two. I use a Google Sheets to track all the young birds that I breed each year. For managing breeders and pedigrees I use PigeonDB. I’ll do a video on that soon.
