yes. but if i leave it to nature will she still sit the other egg or will she lay an extra egg i was told they wont sit 1 egg so i am very confused if i leave it i will loose the other egg aswell if i by cance put another egg in her bowl she will or may lay other and sit the 2 tight or is this a doomed mating and let nature take course and wait for 2nd round

Hi every1 just been out to loft and 1 of my birds have laid an egg Wahey i here you all shouting but no bad news it has been laid of a perch in the flight and smashed on the floor i dont know which bird it was but have a good idea should i put a dummy egg in here bowl and wait for 2nd egg or wait till all my pairs are down on eggs then throw here 1 egg away i haven't got closed boxes to lock here in with dummy egg as i had to do when a hen laid on the floor in january both the lackable boxes are occupied !!!!!!!!!!!!PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thankyou very much IB a great help now i know i am going to leave egg's under the layers of the egg's thanks again

it was something i had heard i knew the outcome would be the same and after i posted it and then read it again i realised how silly it is so sorry for thinking like a simpleton

has any1 got any advice on this

Hi every1 i have heard of this before and i am wondering why it is done and is it worth doing i was told that if you are keeping ybs and want to breed from them they may try to pair to nest mate therefore inbreeding if all my doos lay at saimilar days would it be worth switching egg's betwwen birds

I have done this but i don't seem to be able to write on the forums or read the threads so can any1 help me out on here

i went to pharmacy earlier and he said to find out if that was it. Does it work as our pharmacy doesn't stock it and he has to order it in for me

didn't know they did it for pigeons

where can i get that from

Do you mean Pottasium Permangamate I will try the garlic thing aswell i used to give my birds oudorless garlic capsules and i never had mites or lice before

my birds are all new will try it what about on the baby in nest

Hi every1 read a thread on mites and was wondering how to get rid of them 1 way suggested was garlic in bath water how should i do it should i get a garlic and crush it into water or can you buy garlic water i noticed it on a 1 YB in the nest it is covered in feather mites. Also does any1 know if the mites eat away at feathers or do i also have a problem with feather rot and if so how do i treat that please help with any advice need to sort this out as only just got the birds and they are older birds and have paired up due to lay soon and i want to sort out the problems before they hatch out any young

Any 1 know how i can get hold of any roller rings for my new birds hatchlings they haven't laid yet but will do soon and i would like to put rings on the young or how do i join the club to get them and will i still be able to get rings from them Cheers Jimmy

What should i do get a garlic and crush it into water or can you buy garlic water i have same problem 1 squab but is covered in feather mites also do the mites eat away at feathers or do i also have a problem with feather rot and if so how do i treat that please help with any advice need to sort this out as only just got the birds and they are older birds and have paired up due to lay soon and i want to sort out the problems before they hatch out any young

sorry about caps dunc just thought while you were correcting somebody wrongly would do the same LOL ;)

AMTRAK

will keep an ear open for you

can you not get a hen for him or do you just not want him no more He is a lovely looking bird but i wouldn't put him into my loft with the rollers as i want to keep to 1 breed Jimmy

sorry damian i forgot to reply i did ask my friend but as i said he has plenty of cocks sorry

I think it is a great idea but like tommy d says it wouldn't be cost evective ar profitable for yourself you would need to do more thatn just pigeon carrying and you couldn't set it up a scale where you have people from other area's helping out because that would cost you more again we need the RPRA to speak with outher courier firms with proposal for them make amtrak realise they can be replaced at the moment they are all we have

what a loft i only wish i could afford to even make you an offer on but hope it sells for you Good Luck

good idea and if i ever needed to use a service you would be 1st a more personal touch and a fancier rather than amtrak Would it only be for lost and stray birds or would you be able to collect birds that have been sold or pick up on behalf of the purchaser as i don't drive and have to rely on friends or amtrak have only used them once for myself and 1 to collect a stray from me found them fast this time and they delivered the bird in perfect time and condition Jimmy

this does work but may take time i sed matchsticks a few weeks later took them of and the leg was fine

no expert but looks nowt like my pals old westies
