peterpau Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Give 'em a week. But then how do you know you're doing the right thing? My pigeon that flew Perth Pau and Palamos + a winner at Yelverton was bred from a stray!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IB Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 You've got to give the hen's vents time to close and for her system to return to normal. Wait 7 - 10 days before taking eggs away. You'd stress out the cock too asking him to go through all that driving routine again, just a few days after coming off that part of the cycle.
