Guest bakes Posted November 15, 2009 Report Posted November 15, 2009 wheatgerm oil is good stuff i no off one 11 year old cock me mate swear the oil helped him fill 4 out of 6 eggs but sometimes if he is heavy feathered around his vent he cant fertilize the egg properly found this out as well when i use to keep canarys had an old border cock wasnt filling tided up his vent faethers and he done the bis all to your own really wheatgerm oil or plucking a few feather from around there vents has seemed to work jimmy white off here is a master of the pigeon game what he dont no about pigeons isnt worth knowing all the best k.baker
BLACK W F Posted November 16, 2009 Report Posted November 16, 2009 you can get stuff from the vet inject into the back of the birds kneck fortnight before pairing then 7 days be fore pairing never tried it but been told it works will get the name of it and post it
DUBLINFLYER Posted November 16, 2009 Report Posted November 16, 2009 leave him till the summer mate its to cold for old cocks to breed dont rush him wait till its warm and sunny he will fill his eggs then oh happy days would agree with joe61, but dont allow him to tread her until the 5th day, other wise he will be treading her for the days leading up to her being ready, if it was me i'd wait til the 5th day and let him give her all he's sperm at once plus he would have built up a nice amount of sperm to give him every chance of filling her eggs
Wiley Posted November 16, 2009 Report Posted November 16, 2009 with old cocks, i always put them with the youngest hens in stock,

Guest KING BILLY Posted November 16, 2009 Report Posted November 16, 2009 4 sets of eggs with diff/hens all empty thanks has this bird breed any thing worth keeping or have you just got it in if it has persaver with it if not P T S ;)
carrera Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Posted November 16, 2009 has this bird breed any thing worth keeping or have you just got it in if it has persaver with it if not P T S ;) bought the pigen 6 months ago & hes not filled any
Roland Posted November 16, 2009 Report Posted November 16, 2009 Wouldn't bother. Surely since, and in his time, you have got his blood / genes in the loft :-/ If not then there is no reason to even try, because he's not bred anything worthwhile. If you have, then let them carry the genes forward.
Guest KING BILLY Posted November 16, 2009 Report Posted November 16, 2009 bought the pigen 6 months ago & hes not filled anywas it at a clearens sale whats the history with this bird ;)

Roland Posted November 16, 2009 Report Posted November 16, 2009 Ok, well you took a punt and hopefully you will get a couple or so youngsters. Artificial would cost a lot. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and ardent. So would feed maples / tic 225 -25% protein and clip feathers, half a asprin, wheatgerm and a blowlamp to warm him up if you think it would help. Good luck.
