Best stock cock lost

[Guest joshdonlan]

When cleaning out this morning my best bloody cock flew out over my head   He is sitting eggs and is still in the area sitting on a roof down the road, although he is unbroken to the loft and has always been a prisoner.

 

What is the best thing to do?

if you got any birds thats broken to loft let them out

[Williedoo]

Can his hen be let out,if so I would do that if the cocks still about.

[holmsidelofts]

pray mate, theres not a lot you can do.

Hes either gonna come back or he wont. one thing i would always do is have a second door system inside the loft if you have prisoner stock, that way you never have a problem with that happening. I have been there myself mate and it aint good when it happens but you soon learn to make sure it doesnt happen again.

Is he the father of the bird in the picture you posted.

otherwise keep an eye on him and let it be known you lost one he may turn up

[Guest gladdo]

As the lads say let a few out that are tame to your loft,If you can mark his eggs and move them to another pair just incase he doesn't return today.

If you can still see him your got a good chance of getting him back, try getting a few bird out.

 

Regards ;D

Let a team of hens out, preferably hens that are not paired, as they will be keen on the cock, and hopefully attract him to the loft, good luck m8

[hotrod]

josh if his hen is broke take her down to the roof that he is sitting on and let her fly up to him ,ps dont worry about eggs float them until they come back in .  good luck

[Guest joshdonlan]

Ive got some other birds out now, but not his hen. Hes gone out of site and a guy down the road has now got his bloody street peckers out   The loft door is open, but i doubt hes a gonner  >

The thing thats pissed me off is i do have 2 doors I left them both open though and he flew off out.

 

Yes he is the father to the bird i posted. What would you do with his hen? Pair the son to him? Ive got 3 cocks and a hen off him already?

[Guest joshdonlan]

hes gone now   almost given up on him. He was my foundation cock. Does anyone have any ideas of what to do with his hen? I have sons and daughters off him.

[Guest peter.j]

float the eggs under another pair and the son most like him put back to his mother

[Guest gladdo]

yeah as peter said ... can i ask do you have a phone number ring on him by any chance and is he transfered to you .... id pass word around to fellow fanciers that a cock has got out on you mate but dont tell them what its bred as they will then keep it !!!!! mikey

[sapper756]

Don,t give up yet m8, get your hens out at first light tomorrw, he may still be hanging around

[Guest joshdonlan]

Yes the bird is transferred to me, but no phone ring on him. There is only 1 pigeon guy near me and like i say he keeps street peckers, all sorts so if he goes anywhere it will be there.

[Guest gladdo]

i wouldnt be waitning until tomorrow ...lock your birds out today until later on...hopefully you get him...if he flys around in which he will still be in area im sure as he would ave blasted in air and gon straight away...im being hopeful for you mate.... if he just looks down and sees his maes beneath him you will get him back mate....fingers x mate...mikey

[owen101]

i had one in the heavy winds when my trap blew of

and a few got out

all stock never been out

and in the end i lost 1 out of 8 if he is around let the birds out even if not in sight

when he sees them he might come back mate

[Guest IB]

Don't give up so soon.   This is the first time  in his life this bird has been out in the wide world - would you come back in an hour?

 

Good sign that he sat on the roof for a while, he's already got an 'invisible' fix on where he lives, now he has a visual memory to go with it.

 

Let the birds stay out, and if they don't bring him down before nightfall, get them back out first light tomorrow.

 

Good luck.

[Guest bigbok]

move the eggs as said and keep a eye out for him if he fails to turn up mate the young birds together then keep the better ones mating him to his mother will move you towards the mothers genes and futher from the cock birds

in the mean time ask the guy yo ugot the cock from for a brother or close relly

this way you have somewhere for the sibling mating s to be paired

hope he turns up though i lost a bird for over a month and one day he was on my next door neighbours shed

[ally mac]

Put your birds out throughout tomorrow if you can Josh. he might still be there, might even take a day or two, fingers crossed.
