Description
The Giant White Hubble Utility Pigeon is a prominent breed known for its impressive size, strength, and utility value. Bred primarily for meat production (squab), these pigeons are celebrated for their large size, rapid growth, and high fertility. As the name suggests, they are notably large, often weighing between 1 to 2 pounds or more. These qualities make them especially suitable for squab farming, providing a productive and efficient source of high-quality meat.
They reach sexual maturity at approximately 6 months of age, enabling them to begin reproducing relatively quickly. Known for being prolific breeders, they often produce multiple clutches per year, making them valuable for both hobbyists and small-scale agricultural operations.
The incubation period lasts around 18 days from egg-laying to hatching, contributing to their popularity among breeders due to the quick turnaround. Generally calm and manageable, these pigeons are ideal for both breeders and hobbyists. Their strong, vigorous nature means they thrive best with adequate space and consistent, proper care.
Their resilient temperament and adaptability make them a valuable addition to any loft, whether for utility purposes, exhibition, or personal enjoyment.
