having figured in the crosses by
which it was produced.
There are two methods of i
feeding the breeders and no
doubt each has its strong points. 1
If the attendant can be with the
birds often during the day, he
can scatter feed where the birds ■
can pick it up two or three
times a day. But for reasons ;
which I will explain, I favor the
hopper method of feeding. When
using the hoppers, they can be
filled in the morning, and then
the feeding for the day is over
with. The grain is before the
birds all the time, and it is all
ways clean, and does not have
to be pickeq up out of the dirt on
the floor. When there are eggs
in the nest, the hen sits during
the night, and usually until
about nine o’clock in the morn
ing, when she is relieved by the
male bird, who has eaten his
fill. He 3its until about four
o’clock in the afternoon, when
the hen, who has eaten, had her
bath and a drink of water, is
ready to return to the nest.
Then the cock has his evening
meal.
The same program is
carried out until the eggs hatch
and the young are about two
weeks old, when their growing
demand for food make it nece
ssary for both old birds to eat
and carry food to the squabs.
If there is food before them all
the time, they will keep the
squabs filled all the time, insur
ing rapid growth, while if they
are fed twice or three times
during the day, the food will be
picked up clean and a part of
the time there will be nothing to
feed the young. The males eat
what is thrown down in the
morning, and there is nothing
for the hens when they come off
the nests. Or if anything is
left, it is the cull grain, for the
pigeon is very careful what it
eats, and will always pick out
the choicest grains first. Wheat
is the principal grain fed the
pigeons. It should be clean
bright grain always, for smut is
a poison to pigeons. The red
wheat is preferred by the birds.
