it probably equeates to the same thing  ie roundabout bothsexes trapping to same section whereas double widow hood will mean races both sexes on traditional  widow hood    ie stock pigeons paired to the race team  if get what i mean

[Guest chrisss]

is that the same as the sliding doors method,where you let the cocks out of say,the right hand section,drive the hens into the empty section,get the cocks back into the now empty hens section,then let the hens out,then on friday let run together?,

no chriss all bird s trap into the section where the  nest boxes are  , hens end up in section  with  v perches, poles etc , cocks always roost in nest box

i know of dual widowhood were both sexes are seperated onto perches,you need 3 sections were the boxes are in the middle section,you breed a round from them then the cock and hens move to the other two sections ,the middle now empty,once you start training they race to the middle section,and another thing you can pair individual birds up without disturbing the others.

That's the roundabout system, isn't it??

I've never heard of Double Widowhood, you learn something new every day!
