Signs You're Line-Breeding Too Closely
In the interests of helping novice pigeon fanciers who may not be aware of signs that their line-breeding is starting to move to an unhealthy direction, I offer the following list of signs that you may be line-breeding too closely.

  1. You hear "Dueling Banjos" coming from the loft.
  2. You mate a blue bar to a blue bar and all the youngsters have ash-red necks.
  3. The Jerry Springer show calls you to ask if your birds can appear on their show entitled "I Know You're a No-Good Inbred Hen But I Love You Anyway".
  4. The lines on your bird's pedigree chart form a circle.
