locked up the young blue pied cock last night .most the others seemed settled .out this morning and he was in 3 other boxes for a good few minutes trying to take over ,he could be one to watch for the future
have given the race loft a good clean ,and put 5 x 2 yr old and 5 x yearling cocks in they had chosen boxes before , but i took them out for 2 months and had them in the stock cocks section .put them in just before darkness and there all fighting like crazy

its a romantic idea only , you wont change how things are .darkness system has been around 50 years , just not every fancier was aware of it .i have sent a squeaker to a race and gained a 2nd place with ,was done out of necessity ,and proved to me what my "mentor" taught me , to think outside the box , and pigeons are brighter than most fanciers and could teach many a lesson.
you need to identify why it,s happened ,yes you need to treat (imo) sooner the better .if you dont find out why it has happened it will happen again. you have enough space for them ,thats fine ,maybe a cover for the window or whatever opening when the bad weather is about .how is the ventilation ?? is air coming in at the bottom and leaving through a higher exit ??
