This antiquarian volume contains a complete guide to breeding pigeons, and includes information on strains, pedigee breeding, eggs, selection, cross-breeding, and much more. Written in clear, plain language and full of handy tips and useful information, this timeless text will be of considerable utility to the modern breeder, and would make for a wonderful addition to collections of related literature. The chapters of this book include: 'A Tribute to the Novice Fancier', 'Male and Female Strains', 'The Problem of Inbreeding', 'Starting a Strain', 'The Male Strain', 'The Mysterious 'Nicking Factor'', 'The Producer Hen', 'Classic Pedigree Breeding', 'Perfection of the Egg', 'The Female Line', etcetera. Many antiquarian books such as this are becoming increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern edition - complete with a new introduction on pigeons.
