Hello Pigeon Racing World,
I just wanted to introduce myself; my name is Chris I created PigeonRacingPigeons.com to share my pigeon racing passion with the world, and to share my passion with the rest of the pigeon community.
MyStory,
I personally got interested in pigeons a few years back, my uncle had a pigeon loft and as a kid he used to keep pigeons on the rooftop in brooklyn NY, after moving upstate he built a loft in his backyard and this is where I was first introduced to the world of pigeons. To be completly honest with you I really didn’t understand anything about it and I didn’t even see what he liked about it. Anyway a few months later he purchased a bird from Oklahoma and put it into his loft, about three days later he opened the door to the loft to feed his pigeons and the bird he just bought from oklahoma escaped. About one week later the breeder that he bought the bird off of called my uncle up and said “didn’t I sell you a bird” and he recited the band number my uncle responded “yea but he escaped from my loft last week” and the breeder said “well…he’s back!”
After escaping from my uncles loft in NY, the pigeon flew all the way back to oklahoma! I was completely floored and my passion for pigeons was born. Not only could I not beleive that the pigeon flew that far but it actually found his way all the way home. I was hooked from that moment on.
They really are amazing creatures I know first hand and that is why PigeonRacingPigeons.com was created. Please feel free to check out the site and comment we would really love to hear from you.
My Goal,
The goal of PigeonRacingPigeons.com is to help preserve and promote the pigeon racing sport and hobby as well as bringing awarness to the general public. I also hope that this site will help to educate pigeon fanciers. I haven’t been involved in pigeon racing for that long so I still have alot to learn but one of my favorite things to do is talk with champion and successfull fanciers which I have had the pleasure of doing and sharing what I learn from them along the way with the rest of you.
Again, my name is Chris and I look forward to meeting and hearing from you fellow pigeon fanciers, please feel free to contribute to this blog by commenting and posting I would really love to hear from you.
Thanks for visiting,

Chris,
I love you site and your news letters. Keep it coming. You are doing a great service to the sport.
hi chris just to let you know i have raced pigeons since 1977 and have been at the top of my club many times including the last three years.i am allways looking to improve.i race my birds in great britain.
i think pigeon racing is still going very well in great britain. every week i read in the british homing world about all the new young starters coming into the pigeon sport.i think it is expensive to get started now and this is the reason why we are not geting as many new members coming into the pigeon sport. yours in sport les gilbert
excellent job Chris

hi chris I think your document is very important for many people around the world
thats whats up Chris i see your passion for the pigeons is very strong, i my self got into flying pigeon in the Bronx many years ago in the earily 80′s i flew tipplets and man i could say the flew for hours but the a friend of mines, had 4 pairs of homers we took the train downtown to NYC we didn’t know nothing about bloodline,just knew they where homers, well anyways they took the to Centarl Park. when he let then out the box which is what we had a box from the corner store..lol. They hooked about three times and went striaght uptown to the Bronx bye the time we got home they we’re there, but still i didnt get into homers but i did get a grizzle pair of homers. Now that i have a place in the back of my house i just got into it this year hopefully i can have some type of a good year to talk about in the coming years and thank you from have=ing this site where we can all have a say about our pigeons Good luck to all in the 2010 Race from TATSCRU LOFT eamails if any question @ Prisonbrake2008@yahoo.com

Chris: When I first recieved your offer to join your blog, I must tell you that I had a lot of scepticism. However, after reading your posting, I again must tell you that I think they are fantastic. Keep them coming. They are very informing, interesting,educational,and I enjoy them very much.
Hey Chris, Fantastic job with web site. My father has had racing pigeons my whole life. Myself I have a small kit of rollers, just for fun because of my Bird Of Prey problem. (Coopers in Fresno,Ca are bad man) Anyway, my Father Mark Rozwadowski host the California Late Hatch Classic Race. I’ve always been a fan of racing pigeons but zoning rules in track homes has put a huge dent in pigeon racing fanciers from evolving here in California I believe. Just my take on things. http://www.californialatehatchclassic.com check it out… Pleasure meeting you…Andy Rozwadowski
Yeah man- the Cooper and Sharp Shins are what plagued my lofts in Redding and Danbury, Connecticut. Learned their migrating schedule to reduce losses. Heartbreaking.
thanks for the great site chris,it has a lot of great info
Great site Chris The question about the eye colds most likely you have a draft in your loft however respiratory infection can also be present.If you want go on line to john marles web and check out the article on respiratory.
Hi Don- would you write something regarding eye colds and also on the topic of drafts? Re: drafts, I would like to read more about the difference between good ventilation and harmful drafts.
Thanks- Best Regards- Gregory Brooks Homewood Loft
Hi Chris,
Upstate NY?! Where do you live? I live in near Kingston, NY. I fly with Northern Catskill Pigeon Club and I’m the race secretary for the club. Just curious. Great job on the blog.
Kyke………just starting with pigeons….have somje homers, some show birds too…..live in Saugerties,work in Kingston…tell me a bit about the club……
chris, what about breeders ,how old is to old ?. can you bring a hen back from not producing?
Ive Given an old infertile hen or infertile cock not laying fertile eggs HoneyBee Propolis ive done it and it works some how and learned this yrs. ago from an old flyer. Either dampen feed and sprinkle on feed of manually put down throat. you {cannot} overdose a bird with propolis and it works on birds older than 10 + –GC
Hey John,
Please visit the link below for more info on egg binding,
http://pigeonracingpigeons.com/category/health/eggbinding/
hope it helps you out
-Chris
Dear Sir What solution do you have for hens that are egg bound. Be waiting Thanks JB
Hi John, I was wondering how you made out with the egg-bound hen? I recall one especially strong blue check hen I had that happen to. Hate to be gross but I dealt with it with vaseline on a pinky tip and it worked out okay- Hens can die pretty quickly from egg-binding. Hope you faired okay.
Best wishes,
Gregory Brooks Homewood Loft

Hello Chris,
Daily read information on the blog, then reread them to deepen the news.
Soon I hope to have pigeons champions.
I want to say that I use in place of olive oil, fish oil for
mixture of food.
Is better, in my opinion!
