  • Apart from exhibition at pigeon shows, the breed is also used for utility purposes for producing squabs as food.
  • As of 1986, annual production in the United States and Canada was one and a half million squabs per year.
  • Both sexes incubate for 13–17 days to hatching, and feed the squabs for 13–17 days to fledging.
  • Above the ceiling of the Bickfield Chapel there is a void which contains a columbarium or dovecote. This housed 140 “squabs” or pigeons in 1606 for the rector's table.
  • These roller pigeons are prolific breeders. As soon as the squabs in the nest are over a week old, the parents mate again and, after about another week, then the hen lays eggs again.

  • The parents may cease to eat at this point in order to be able to provide the squabs (baby pigeons and doves) with milk uncontaminated by seeds, which the very young squabs would be unable to digest.
  • Inside, a dovecote could be virtually empty ("boulins" being located in the walls from bottom to top), the interior reduced to only housing a rotating ladder, or "potence", that facilitated maintenance and the collection of eggs and squabs.
  • Inside there was a bench seat back and individual squabs covered in PVC, with leather as an option, and rubber floor covering.
  • The hatched young, called squabs, are strongly altricial, being helpless at hatching and covered with down.
