https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/the-texan-pioneer-utility-pigeon-a-tutorial.204998/ Here we go! Texan Pioneer pigeons

Their very smart, actually one of the smartest animals. The one I read about was the Texas Pioneer. I'll get the link! Some other meat breeds are utility Kings, and French Modenas.

I haven't. I personally think it's pretty cruel to kill something so young. But I would like to try adult pigeon or dove!

Pigeons are very efficient and sufficient birds. One meat breed is ready in just 30 days! All you need to provide is housing, feed, and water. Parents incubate and feed the little ones (called squabs).

You guys should get some!!! I'll really, really, enjoy having them, fly them, and hopefully do a couple wedding releases a summer (Extra feed money). I hope I can get them to earn their keep. People pay $50+ a bird to release at weddings, funerals, graduations and the like!

So cute! Little duckie won't get squished, will he?
