Pairing, 5- to 7-month-old meat pigeons begin to mature, egg production incubation period can be as long as 7 to 8 years, but the economic life of about 5 years. Meat pigeon breeding has natural pairing and forced pairing. The forced pairing method is to force the male and female pigeons into the cage according to the mating plan, which can prevent inbreeding. After the dubbing, the feet are placed in the pigeon cage of the breeding loft. Generally, the old cocks or hens are paired with young hens or cocks, and their descendants have better genetic quality.
Nesting, the first action of the pigeons after successful pairing is nesting. General cocks to title the grass, but also by the owner of the nest in advance; plastic cage can be set up when the nest basin, plus a sack of sheets. The cocks began to severely restrict the movement of the hens, or closely followed the hens, and stopped tracking until the second pigeon eggs were produced.
Before mating, all meat pigeons had some courtship behaviors. The common pigeons were more active. They showed head and neck elongation, neck feathers were standing, neck airbags inflated, tail feathers fanned out, and frequently nodded. "Sound, following the hens, they tend to move; or they use the hen as the center to make the laps and gradually get closer to the hens." If the hen is willing, the head will be close to the neck of the cock, and sometimes it will be a little warm to eat from the cocks. After some chasing, teasing, flirting, and closeness, they will be copulated.
Eggs are usually produced with two eggs per litter. The first one is produced in the afternoon or evening of the first day, and is discontinued the next day. The second egg is laid at noon on the third day.
Incubation occurs after hatching, and the male and female pigeons are in turn hatched. The cocks replaced the hens at about 10 am to eat and drink, and then the incubators were then incubated at about 2 pm until they were taken over by the public pigeons in the morning of the second day. The hatching period is calculated from the day of the second egg production. The egg can be removed once on the 5th and 10th day of hatching. The lean, dead and broken eggs are removed. The general incubation period is 18 days.
Record the date of pairing, the date of egg production, the number of fertilized eggs, the date of hatching, the number of hatches, etc.
