We have used the bull box for the last 4 years our 2 main breeding cocks go on it with 4 hens and the eggs floated under feeders. The bull box we have was a gift from John Hunter from Aberdeen went up to see john and he had this bollbox on his dining table and his wife told him to get rid so i got lucky that day as the back seat was down before he changed his mind and on my way to Stirling. We think if you have good cocks they are good for getting some half-brothers\sisters, and find the best to start a family.

I have used the Bull System for quite a few years now and if I were not going to the hospital pretty soon I would use it again this year.\

The Bull system is good if you fly widowhood as I do. And it works like this.

Use normal widowhood boxes with one small modification. You have a partition through the middle of the box.

Pair your birds as normal with a cock one side of the partition and the hen the other. They pair through the bars but do not tread.

3 days later you take the hen to the Bull Cock who is penned in a compartment of his own without contact with any other pigeons.

Leave the pair together for 20/30 minutes. And return the hen to her own box. Repeat with up to 12 hens.

Put the nest pans in with the hen, near the partition, and make sure you felt them. You can give her some nesting material if you like.

Repeat this procedure every day, changing the order that the hens go to the Bull, until the hens lay their first eggs.

Remove the partition and the dummy cock will take to the eggs as if they are his own.

I use three differant Bulls. 1 for each compartment and 1 for the stock hens.

If you want to have a second round. Remove the hens and young when the young are 15 days old and put the young in their bowls in a compartment with the hens. The hens will rear the young with ease, since they are free of the cock trying to drive them back to nest. And all the hens will share the rearing duties.

Then you can go through the same procedure a second time . I do this with a differant cock on the stock hens.

The Bull cocks usually fill all the eggs and you usually get at least 25% really good pigeons. As each year passes you get better pigeons because you will only breed from your winning birds. I never normally breed with a cock that has won less than 4 races and a hen that has won at least one race. My hens only race as young birds so they have less chance than the cocks.

And another benefit is that you can crossbreed and breed pure all at the same time. To be fair to the Bulls I keep a good hen back for him to pair to after he has done his job.
