Only one thing to do is cut back on the feed, if they are hungry I will guarentee you they will trap immediately. Also if your feeding before you train then don't, and if you aren't then don't feed the night before. Feed is your only control. Just my thoughts anyway. Ed

what sort of trap u using mac

ACE LOFTS · December 15, 2006

Ii think your lacking motivation mate.

the birds have no intrest in going in. if it was young birds then i would say cut the feed but as its old birds its motivation.

if your flying natral then i suppose they are a bit lazy going in but they still should when called.

widow cocks or hens should go straight in when door is opend.

Must agree with ace on this ones widowhood cocks should knock the back of the loft out if right, if your on natural birds should still trap, maybe there are cats knocking about when your not there, if they are on natural and not feeding youngsters trim their food a bit.
