not filling

[Guest Dublin lofts]

top racing cock 1999 won a lot untill stoped in 2005 and put in

stock loft were he breed 2 winners in his 1st nest and 1 in his 2 nest

with 2 diffrent hens in 06.But he did not fill at all last year with any hen .

His father is a 1998 pigeon and he is still filling .Any ideas

on jokey note maybe he came out    on serious note have you checked him for growth

[OLDYELLOW]

older cocks tail feathers can become stiff and if in stock arent as fit i would cut his tail feathers off to see if it helps and lighten his feed  

[Guest cloudview]

if the bird is usedout at your place  i would let him have his liberty, more so on his own with his hen , get down to buisness then with no distractions

just my way to start with

[Guest Dublin lofts]

tail feathers were cut,feed was cut back,allowed to fly out every day,this bird looks

as he did when racing if not better and in great shap still just not filling.

[Larry Lucas]

Older cocks sometimes don't fill eggs until the days are warmer and the hours of daylight increased. Is he on lights now? If not, put him on 14 hours of light a day and put him back with his hen after two weeks. Gonads in birds are affected by the length of days (light).

[OLDYELLOW]

were hens old or young ?

[ChrisMaidment08]

have you checked for growth

[ChrisMaidment08]

which could affect his erectile capabilitys

[Guest anto]

ive done what oldyellow says before

of loft can work aswell ha ha

[Guest Dublin lofts]

yes he was checked for growth,he was with 2&3 year old hens

we got the vat lad and he gave him a shot to help him fill it never worked

[ChrisMaidment08]

[ChrisMaidment08]

yes he was checked for growth,he was with 2&3 year old hens

[ChrisMaidment08]

[Guest Dublin lofts]

[Larry Lucas]

Is he on at least 14 hours a day of electric lights?

[ChrisMaidment08]

[The Navigator]

[Guest Dublin lofts]

SMARTIES WONT WORK ANYMORE

[pigeonscout]

If the eggs are not filled crack them open if the yoke is intact then the cock is at fault if the yoke is mixed with the white of the egg it is the hen who is at fault.

Try a eye drop of Vit E on his food every other day for two weeks before pairing.

We have a 1999 cock and hen - and the only way we have got youngsters from them is to let them lay (check eggs - if not full - float another set of fertile eggs under them)

 

let them bring up the youngsters - and the next lot of eggs have been fertile

[REDCHEQHEN]

can you still get blue  

 

they're now sold in tubes of blue only (as well as the multicoloured ones)

[Guest Dublin lofts]

will try anything and everything next season
