Fertility problems

[WulDon]

do any members know of a good fertility boost for older stock pigeons?

 

i know vitamin E is a common supplement used, wot do members find to be the best product?

[Guest]

Wheatgerm oil is commonly used in show birds prior to pairing up,sometimes shaving the vents helps too and of course feeding depurative for 3 weeks or so prior  to pairing to ensure the hens especially are not too fat

[Guest Hjaltland]

Common problem with hens....

[johnc]

[Guest Hjaltland]

Mmmm ...Viagra?

[Clarkey1990]

Menopause tablets have something in them to help fertility. Sounds strange but it works, break one into an eight and pop it down the neck.

not all is lost I had an 11 year old cock that stopped filling................I had a lot of years with this bird and didnt have the heart to bin him.............4 years later ages 15 he  started filling...had 2 rounds off him in a year, and then at the end of that year he passed away a happy old lad....................he'd outlived 3 partners..and his last hen of 7 years died 2 weeks after him...........................

ive had that b4 then all of a sudden started filling them ,, then after that just got the odd one full but the cock was 15 by that time , but about 12 when he stopped filling that year , even at 15 sometimes the two eggs were fertile

You could try a supplement of selenium zinc.

Agree,that's the best thing to do.Alot of people do this as a matter of course prior to pairing up show racers and fancy breeds.

I've a 10 year old hen that's giving probs. Firstly, she is misfiring, doesn't lay every month, for example laid 28th May, missed 28th June, still waiting to see if she'll lay 28th July.

 

28th May was a single egg which failed to hatch - egg appeared to have no yolk or internal membrane structure, part-filled with a clear liquid which 'sloshed about'. Asked a club mate about that, which bird at fault, and he reckoned it was the cock [5yo].

 

Anybody any experience of this and any advice?

in my experience as long as hen is laying eggs then fault lies with cocks not fertilising them but in your case neva heard of it before and sounds to me as if its had problems in its cycle before  ;D

 

[peterpau]

So I've just moved house. Birds been split for two weeks and then been in crates for five days. Put them back together yesterday morning, now after two days back together. Two hens have laid. Are these eggs likely to be fertile? Before you say the hens paired together. No this is not possible.    

[Wiley]

yes could be a chance that they are fertile. Had hens, who have laid the day after pairing and have both been fertile before.

[Guest]

many species of bird can delay egg laying until they feel they have a safe nest site so you never know,candle them at 10 days and see.

[jimmy white]

i would say theres a good chance they will be fertile,, ive had them  do  this in 4 days and the eggs were fertile ,,maybe let us know ,even out of curiosity

Hi Chrissy bought one these candlers but not showing good through the egg, is there a good one to get please

[Wiley]

forget a candlers just lift the egg up to sunlight, if you can see the light shining through then infertile, however if the light doesnt shine through and appears dark then the eggs are fertile
