I’m Happy that The Grizzle Hen Won, that is My Favorite Pattern to see on a Pigeon.

[@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons]

She is a beauty!

[@eddieortiz4276]

[@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons]

I did not know what this video would be like but it was fun.

[@AtzazAhmad-w1v]

Frank you are really a topclass fancier and teacher of racing pigeons. I followed you and get best results

[@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons]

Awesome, thank you!

[@fabricdragon]

1. all those birds look great. 2. i envy your ease with handling them. i still have trouble getting a good hold on a pigeon with my hands, and i think the pigeons know... lol and 3. that hen, omg such a beautiful girl

[@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons]

You can do it! You get better with practice.

[@kerbyjackson88]

Very nice birds. Thanks for the explanations on your choices. How would you best explain the preference for tight vents close to the body?

[@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons]

The vents should be closer to the body and not hanging low. If they are low and wide that pigeon is usually useless. Fat pigeons will have the vents open up some and also may seem worse than they really are. Close to the body and not too open is best. I guess when you handle the bird you should try to not get to the end of the keep and then have the vents sticking out past the keel. I wish we could look at some pigeons together.

[@kerbyjackson88]

@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons Me too, my friend. It'll happen some day. My grandmother's side of the family have deep roots in Mass. going back to the Salem witch trials and it has been on my bucket list to see the place, so it'll definitely happen. Once I get settled at the new place down south, my wife wants me to get a caretaker so we can travel a little. Needless to say, going back your way is on the list of destinations.

[@kerbyjackson88]

@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons Thanks for the explanation on the vents. Do you think condition/age will influence the vent? Ie. Are they likely to become less close as they age?

[@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons]

They may get a bit worse with old age but most changes happen when the bird is very fat.

[@JohnpaulAgpuldo]

nice birds

[@franciscojaviercruz4372]

Frank what porcentage of protein do you recommend for breeding?

[@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons]

My feed is about 15% protein and the chicken pellets are 16% protein. They do not eat many chicken pellets. If the pigeons get free choice all they can eat 14 to 16% protein is enough for breeding. All the minerals are more important than the feed.

[@stevenspainhower5493]

Interesting, Frank. I don't know about "confirmation" or relationship of vent to body.

[@patrickmcgorman3274]

that was my red hen that got placed the one with the bad vent and my grizzle u placed 3 rd in young birds it’s actually half brother to the grizzle hen that won for johnny i had a blast on sunday got 3 firsts 3 seconds and a 3 rd

[@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons]

[@saeedalchami9928]

Hi Frank! Does the badge of courage have any affect on the flight quality of the bird or any other disadvantage? What happened exactly to the flight to cause it such harm?

[@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons]

It does not effect the pigeons flight and I have had some win after the feather is deformed. Not sure why the stress causes this to happen in the flight.

[@martinmclaughlin3084]

where can l fine the baeley you feed

[@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons]

I get my feed from Global Pigeon Supply in New York

[@Johnnypmcginley]

Wow what a nice grizzle😅

[@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons]

She was super. John McGinley should be proud of her.

[@xumarineaddicts8810]

are these pigeon for show but not good to race?

[@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons]

These are raced pigeons. Each class was for pigeons that competed in different race distances.

[@cleaningdraasway686]

You guys sound like a broken record

[@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons]

You never know once the camera is on. Sorry about that.
