Through the trial breeding process, seeing that French pigeons are easy to raise, have few diseases, simple food, mainly rice and corn, and meat is a nutritious food, people have high demand for it, and do not require too much care, his family decided to implement this model. Thanks to good care, his family's flock of pigeons increased gradually every month.

Taking us to visit his family's pigeon farming model, Mr. Thanh happily shared his experience and care techniques: French pigeons are easy to raise, have high resistance, few diseases, reproduce quickly and are easy to consume. Breeders only need to strictly follow the conditions of barn hygiene, disease prevention and food. The barn must be arranged in a high, airy, quiet place, ensuring protection from rain and no drafts.

When mature, pigeons are released together to pair up and then caged.

Therefore, the couple arranged the barn on a high and solid cement floor to avoid damage caused by the weather. In the 60m2 area of ​​the barn, Mr. Le Van Thanh divided it into 180 cells, each cell had 2 parent birds, in the cell there was a nest lined with dry straw. In addition, there were food and water troughs, which were always clean and changed regularly to avoid contamination by bird droppings and feathers.

French pigeons start to reproduce after 6 months of raising. A pair of pigeons can lay 7-8 clutches a year, each clutch containing 2 eggs. Their main food is a mixture of rice and corn, which is fed twice a day, morning and afternoon.
