Guest joshdonlan Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 Im so stressed at the moment, just tried to settle 6 birds out of 30! The 2 youngest have been out and made it back in the loft 3 others havent come out :-/ and 1 has been out flew around a few times landed close to the loft, on the loft, then flew bloody off :'( Is this normal?
Guest Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 just take it easy Josh, if youre stressed the birds will feel or sense that and re-act to it. andy.
pigeonpete Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 Are you trying to break them mate to a new home?? or just a new loft? are they rollers or racers?
Guest joshdonlan Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 These are Rollers Pete (no racers as yet) ;D Trying to break them to a new pen in another section. They have never been out before though. Just went out and hes sat infront of his pen in the loft. Would you say hes broke?

greenlands Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 Don't get streesed mate,the birds will realise you are up tight and that won't help them.Have a cuppa and go back to the loft and enjoy them. Lindsay
pigeonpete Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 will be bald by 25 haha ;D Get some racers then mate, then you will see stress on a raceday :-) :-) my wife leaves me alone, spend most of the day on the phone :-) Telling people it was here for 20 minutes before he went in :-) :-)

BLUERON Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 i have rollers mate. wot i do with new or young ones is let my kit out or just few cocks then just before they are comeing down let new or young out on to loft roof they if they take off they join the kit as its comeing down, or kit lands on loft
Guest joshdonlan Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 another ones hit the sky lol How many would you say id loose out of 30? I was hoping to break at least 25. Would you leave the door open as im doing and let them come out in their own time?
