weirbridge Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 i moved from north yorkshire to peterhead and took some birds with me mostly 2009 youngbirds . trying to settle some of the young cocks i had a little hen who had broken half her wing flights in wires so was only carrying 6 flights in one wing i thought this would be a good one to help settle the cocks by letting her walk around outside, how wrong i could of been the hen managed to fly up to the roof and then took flight followed by the young cocks. one hour later the cocks returned and i managed to get them in. the little gutsy hen managed to fly all the way back to north yorks and enter the garden shed that still remains in the garden and is now being looked after by my sons girlfriend who managed to catch her and take her home until my son gets down to pick her up. first time she has ever handled a pigeon too. a brave little pigeon worthy of her space in the loft now im sure.

ally mac Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 I had a hen turn up a week after her race, her breast was ripped open about 3" long. You would never know looking at her now though. Hardy wee birds right enough. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 We had a young bird last year that turned up after 6 weeks, her breast had been ripped apart and healed into a lump. Unfortunately she went missing on a training toss this year, maybe she will come home one day . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
