I have a couple questions. First how long do pigeons live? Second at what age do you rotate new breeders in and take the older ones out?

I read on a pigeon site that they average 15 yrs and the oldest recorded was 30 yrs. My birds breed as long as they want to.

Most will breed for ten years or so. I would probably get rid of them around that age.
