    128. A New Pigeon Magazine is Coming: Meet Emily Isom of "The COO"

    A new pigeon magazine is on the way, and it is being created by fanciers for fanciers. In this episode of the All About Pigeons podcast, I sit down with Emily Isom, the creator of The Coo Magazine, a new print publication focused on reconnecting the pigeon community, preserving knowledge, and making the hobby more visible to people outside the traditional pigeon world. Emily shares her lifelong background with pigeons, what inspired her to bring a magazine back to the hobby, and how The Coo aims to bridge the gap between long-time breeders and complete beginners. We talk about what readers can expect inside the magazine, including articles on breeds, genetics, loft stories, specialty clubs, and personal experiences from fanciers around the world. Emily also explains why she chose to focus on a collectible print format, how subscriptions and advertising will work, and how fanciers can submit articles or get their lofts featured. If you miss the classic pigeon journals or want to support a fresh, community driven way of promoting the hobby, this episode is for you.

    126. Hand Scanning in OLR with Tim Farr

    In this episode, we’re joined by Tim Farr, a longtime racing pigeon fancier and the author of a thought-provoking article published in the Racing Pigeon Digest on hand scanning in one loft races. Tim brings decades of experience, from racing as a junior in Southern California to competing in Washington State. He offers a grounded, no-nonsense perspective on where one loft racing is headed and what standards should matter most. We dive deep into: What hand scanning really means and why it matters Key differences between local club racing vs. one loft races How chip failures, lack of handling, and mass loading can impact results The importance of fairness, transparency, and humane bird management Critical questions breeders should ask before sending birds to a one loft race Molt management, intake windows, training practices, and race integrity How clubs can grow membership using social media and grassroots promotion This conversation is a must-listen for anyone currently sending birds, or considering sending birds, to one loft races. Tim’s insights challenge assumptions, raise awareness, and encourage higher standards across the sport. Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or just getting started, this episode will help you make more informed decisions and advocate for better racing practices. https://www.facebook.com/SouthwestWashingtonRacers/ https://www.facebook.com/people/Farr-Racing-Pigeons/61552018770666/# www.pigeonpod.com #AllAboutPigeons#RacingPigeons#OneLoftRacing#HandScanning#PigeonRacing#PigeonPodcast#RaceIntegrity#FairCompetition#PigeonFanciers#HomingPigeons#PigeonSport#PigeonCommunity#TransparencyInRacing#OldBirdRacing
