This breed has a resemblance to the American Show Racer, with the same rounded
head and beak shape, but this is a more elongated breed. Pigeon fanciers
have had a lot of fun making many variations on the Racing Homer. Other types
include the German and Dutch Beauty Homers and the Exhibition Homer, which
has a unique triangular-shaped head.
This blue check young cock, band number 1881, was bred by John Hirtchison.
