further to my previous post if receptal doen't work nothing will then its a case of deciding the pigeons fate. Follow the correct dose, jab when you first pair them if eggs are clear jab a second time hopefully it works for you. We tried on several old pigeons with a majority producing full eggs one cock bird hadn't filled for 3 years and since he has filled every egg this year, now being 14 years old. Hope this helps any more info pm me.
mr and mrs pinch cwmbran prob 1st nat clocked 12.20 vel 1714, I Davies bargoed 12.30, murphy 12.39, webber clocked before 12.30, winner in our club 12.41 vel 1671
i believe you should rear 1 pair of yb's to bond the pigeon to its new box, creating a desire to home faster. Also you should rear from most of your race birds beacause if they are not good enough to take a pair of yb's from they are not good enough to have in the loft in the first place.
highly recommend these birds, terrific pedigree and performance to match. We were lucky to race a pair of yb's 2007 same way bred, which were 2 cocks 1 came to win when we had 12 together and the other won a 1st and 3rd.
paul, next year we are trying a team of 12 widowhood hens and also a team of widowhood cocks. Haven't tried this before new loft has just gone up, will depend on amout of time i will have next year just all plans in my head at moment.
Always wasted good hens so next year i have picked the best out and they will be raced so will have 2 chances to win.

all our birds ar locked up during the winter too many losses with predators, especially now with not much food about, will start letting them out in January after they have been on depurative for a couple of days to shed the winter weight.
