1. Observe the inclination of pigeon's head and neck.
The head of the male pigeon is large and round, the neck is slightly short, and the slope from head to neck is gentle; The mother pigeon has a thin head and obvious neck lines, so there is a slightly steep slope between the head and neck.
2. Observe both sides of the pigeon's anus.
There will be obvious protruding parts on both sides of the anus of the male pigeon, and the protruding upper part will cover the lower anus, which is an obvious organ feature of the male pigeon; The anus of the mother pigeon is flat on both sides, and there is no protruding part.
Step 3 observe the tail feather
Adult pigeons can judge the sex by their tail feathers. They need to lift their wings and press their armpits. The tail feather of the female pigeon is upturned and clean, and the tail feather of the male pigeon is upturned and dyed.
Breeding method of pigeons
1, breeding ground
When raising pigeons, you should choose a place that is sheltered from the wind and the sun, with high terrain and ventilation. The area of the pigeon house should be 8- 10 square meter, and 20-40 pairs of pigeons can be raised. It is best to raise pigeons in three or four layers of overlapping cages, which is beneficial to management.
2. Feeding time
Pigeons need to be fed twice a day, preferably at 7: 00 a.m. and 4: 00 p.m. every day. The feeding amount in the morning accounts for one-third of the diet, and the feeding amount in the afternoon accounts for two-thirds of the diet. The daily feed grain of each adult pigeon is about 50 grams.
Step 3: Feed.
Pigeons are mainly fed with miscellaneous grains. When raising homing pigeons, it is necessary to provide them with feed such as mung beans, sesame seeds, peanuts, sorghum, wheat, rice, buckwheat, etc., and it is best to choose a mixture of two kinds of miscellaneous grains to ensure a balanced nutrition, with grains accounting for two thirds and beans accounting for about one third.
Step 4 clean your body
Pigeons are very clean birds When raising pigeons, the pigeon house should be cleaned once a day, and the cage bottom baffle can be replaced. In summer and autumn, pigeons need to take a bath twice a week to avoid infection, and once a week in winter, warm water can be used.
