well to put it in simple terms if you hadnt seen your wife for a week and were promised something if you got home quickly you wouldnt hang around would you lol

 

to be serious the dave allen book is good for a starter but there are loads of videos advertised or ask a clubmate for advice (jim edward)

[Guest bakes]

Have your cocks raise one to two youngsters. Have your cock raise them until they're about 12 days old. Remove one youngster. Wait until the other is about 24 days old and then remove that one as well into an area for young pigeons.

 

Let your cocks sit on the next set of eggs for about 10 to 12 days. Some experts suggest 7 to 8 it all depends on what works for you and the health of your birds.

 

Send your cocks on their way with a training toss.. Leave the hens in the nest.

 

Wait for the cocks to come back to their nest.

 

Let the cocks back out again and remove the hens, nest and eggs. Clean the area thoroughly and let the cocks back into the loft. Some experts suggest turning the nest bowl over.

 

hope this helps bud

the true  meaning of widowhood is actually racing  hens, without cocks

 

the racing of cocks with out hens is really widowerhood ,

 

but were used to calling this system , be it with cocks or hens , the widowhood system,,,, to explain the system would need to   fill a book [dave alan in fact has a book on this, there is also many dvd,s on this ]

, there are many wide and varied ways, on racing this system, mostly racing cocks , which only see their hens b4 the race, and after the race, even this is not always  so, but is  more commonly done,, but an impossible question to answer in a post, my best advice would be read up on it, or better still befriend a good w/hood flier,,study every move he makes , listen to all he says, and spend as much time with him or her as possible and take every thing in,
