don't put all the food in at once I start with two spoons full and keep adding a spoon full each time a pigeons comes in ,if it doesn't trap it doesn't get feed till next time and gets locked out of the hut ,I don't know how you keep your pigeons I keep mine all together in one hut and sometimes a cock gets too big for his boots and trys to take over the feeder and the drinker when this happens I lock them in the nest box or removes them into a dark basket for a day and they start to come in better because they aren't getting bullied as soon as they come in for food.
