Never tried it but they say Sceptin is the real deal for infertile pigeons .

Sceptin was developed for cow, pig, and poultry infertility .

 

 

Use on pigeons at .2cl per pigeon .I believe it a POM.

May i add that Greenlands advice looks more natural and i would tend to wait until the warmer weather and see what this hen is doing then .

change the cock, give her a younger cock, sure he's your problem!

!!!yes this is great for helping him fertilize his eggs ( i found harkers hormoform great ) and divide the box with somrthing that leaves him see her but not touch her for about a week this will make him more kean to get her down quicker!!

yup id say could be the cold weather older birds tend to go down better with sun on there backs shes laying so certainly doing her job , id change the cock always better to pair old to yearlings

Agreed, if the eggs are not full the cock is the problem, change him and see what happens.

if she is not flying out you might be to late if she is flying out the sunny warm weather will give her a better chance best of luck,

id put money on it being the cock aswell try her with a cock you no fills

[jimmy white]

i would say the cock should  be ok at 8 years old

,, i have an eleven year old hen filling her eggs,,, i have given her selenium and zinc caps , now and again, whether it is this thats helping , i cant tell,, but it hasnt done any harm

Almost 100% the cock to blame,Ploat the cock from his end of his keel to his apron the second tail under the first its almost sure to be mechanicle ploat her aswell. they make poor contact with age.
