Pigeons are a type of domestic bird that is raised for their meat and eggs. Because they aren’t as common or well-known as other types of birds, starting a pigeon breeding business might seem like an uphill climb. However, there is demand for these birds, and many people are interested in purchasing them as pets. To start your own pigeon breeding business, you first need to understand what it involves. This can be challenging since the market for pigeons is niche. There aren’t a lot of resources available about how to become a breeder of pigeons. However, with some research and preparation, you can begin your own business as a breeder.
Know the Basics
First, let’s start with the basics. Pigeons are domesticated birds that are a type of fowl. They are known for their ability to breed rapidly. There are many different breeds of pigeons, and they are raised for their meat and eggs. Pigeons can be purchased as adult birds or as young pigeons. Adult pigeons can be purchased when they are in their breeding cycle, but young pigeons are ready to be weaned. Pigeon breeds include: African or Egyptian, Chinese, English Racing, Indian Fantail, Pomeranian, and American Fancy.
Purchase and Care for Pigeons
Before you start breeding pigeons, you need to know how to purchase and care for them. There are many different factors to consider, such as their diet and living space. To learn about how to care for pigeons, you can attend a seminar about pigeons. You can also read books, magazines, and online guides about how to care for pigeons. You can purchase pigeons from local breeders or online. Pigeon breeders are usually located in warmer climates where pigeons are more common. You can also purchase pigeons from online auction sites like eBay. Pigeons should be kept indoors in a clean and dry space. They can be kept in wooden cages or in lofts. Their diet should be made up of a mixture of grains, seeds, and legumes. They should also be provided with fresh water daily.
Breeding Process
Once you have purchased and cared for pigeons, you can begin breeding them. The breeding process can be challenging since it is a very long process. The breeding process includes the incubation period, pairing, and hatching. Pairing your pigeons is the process of putting male and female pigeons in the same space. Once they pair, they will breed as soon as they have built a nest. Pairing should be done very carefully to avoid unwanted breeding. Some breeders will use a “singer” to determine whether a pigeon is male or female. Singers are electromagnetic devices that detect whether a pigeon is male. Pigeon eggs need to be incubated for 16 to 18 days. The eggs should be turned on a regular basis, about every three hours.
Marketing and Selling Process
Once you have bred your pigeons, you can begin selling them. You can sell your pigeons online or at local farm shows. Depending on your state, you may also be able to sell pigeons to restaurants. Pigeon breeders can sell their birds as breeding stock, show birds, or as pets. You can also package your pigeons with their eggs and sell them as a package deal.
Summing up
Breeding and selling pigeons is a challenging but rewarding business. It can be difficult to break into the market since there aren’t many resources available. However, there is a high demand for pigeons, and breeders can sell their pigeons for a high price. Pigeon breeders are expected to see a steady growth in sales over the next decade. Pigeons are an eco-friendly solution to pest control, and they are a popular pet among children.
