143. Almond Genetics with Kenny Pomona

In this episode of the All About Pigeons Podcast, Phillip Fry sits down with longtime pigeon breeder Kenny Pomona for an in depth discussion on almond pigeons, genetics, breeding strategies, and the lasting influence of Dr. Willard Hollander.

Kenny shares how he first became involved in the pigeon hobby, his fascination with almond pigeons, and the journey that led him to become one of the most respected voices on almond genetics. The conversation explores the relationship between almond and stipper, breeding considerations, common mistakes breeders make, and the importance of understanding the kite foundation behind successful almond pigeons.

The discussion also takes a fascinating historical turn as Kenny shares personal stories about Dr. Hollander, correspondence with legendary pigeon geneticists, and how modern DNA research is changing our understanding of color inheritance in pigeons.

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced breeder, this episode is packed with valuable insights into one of the most fascinating color varieties in the pigeon hobby.
