Sterile Cock birds

[birdman55678]

Does anyone have any ideas about bringing back a sterile cock to breeding capability?  Thanks.  Ed

I've heard of people underlaying eggs and letting the cock raise a round sometimes gets them ticking again.  Bunch of Vitamin E too!

pluck the feathers around his ass area and even cut about 2 inch of his tail. might work mate

I was told by a member on the forum that they gave a old cock bird part of a Vigra tablet they said that he fathered  another couple of young birds so i believe they were telling the truth.

I HAVE A 4YO HEN WHICH HAS NEVER LAID BUT I JUST PAIR IT UP AND PUT EGGS IN ITS BOWL AFTER SHE IS BEING CHASED AND SHE SITS, VERY HANDY TO HAVE,

[birdman55678]

All good ideas and I would never have thought of the viagra but guess its worth a try.  I also have been told that hemp seed or steroids might help, I tried a vet to get steroids for the bird but was told it was not a choice anymore.  Ed

;D lol pigeon man give a way someones  secrets lol.  ;D ;D ;D  its what ya call the blue heart shaped pigeons. :o pmsl ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D???????? lol wheat germ oil is good for he hens a week before pairing so the cocks might enjoy some on the corn as well wont do any harm full of vit "E" Speck  ;D ;D ;D

Oh yeah and I believe I read John Sampson write once on the PML that he pulls the entire tail of the cock which gets more blood flowing to that area to help fertility.

on my visit to a stud in S/africa the guy showed me concentrated liver tablets and his older No1 stock cock was still filling. yours mO.

[birdman55678]

pop a vitamin 'e' capsule (gel type) down throat once weekly, start 6 weeks b4 pairing, yip the ones you get from chemist for humans...approx 400iu

if the cock in question is old he might just be getting bullied by younger cocks,try putting him a section on his own with his hen usually works.

I have used Blue Smarties with good results but I heard they were discontinued .

Try RECEPTAL INJECTION both Cock & Hen ..

Wheat Germ Oil has worked before & last Season a Vet Friend of mine mixed up a fertility Oil but I dont know the ingredients....this Kickstarted an 11 year old Cock for me ....

If You are still stuck I will try to find out the composition of the Oil Mix..

 

Send Me a P.M

I would be interested in the composition of the oil mix as I think I have a sterile cock too.

This year I thought I had to try something as had a 94 and 96 birds not had anything from in 2 years so put 94 bird to 04 hen who always gets 100% hatch and 96 bird to yearlng hen. Bought 2 products at Blackpool first VIT -E Belgica de weerd product goes on corn and TAUBERFIT E-50 Rhonfried in the water used these alongside each other and 100% hatch also a 92 bird who I can't remember last time hatched with same hen been with for 3 years just to see out retirement 2 hatched unexpectently. So will use these products next year. Used them as soon as paired until all eggs laid so over what was on bottles but really wanted babies.
