Good old tested method work, 2 cocks 1 hen, wrong birds in boxes, basket cocks and let hens loose to walk all over basket. + loads more.

basket your cocks put the hen in fill the nest bowls full ov straw then let the cocks back into the shed then the cocks will think that the hen iz building the nest ,may on work the once but gets the cocks very kean

try after showing hens ,  a 3 mile single up toss back to hens b4 basketing,,getting someone let each cock into their hen, then let them settle, then basket for race

[john nico]

would that be every week yu do that jimmy our just the odd time worth a try that especialy 4 the yearlings

i think you need a feww sections of cocks so you can motivate them seperatly to vary the motivation to prevent them becoming stale

i would think jimmy would agree if u keep playing the same tricks they get cute they are cute little beggars  for me personally i wouldn't play any tricks with yearlings till late in season and remember u need to get roughly 15 to 20 races out of them so keep the tricks till later in the year  

 

well done to all for the input bet some novices will get something out of this

if you have any youngbird hens say looking at at the other youngbirds cocks take the hen and let it in with the w/cocks in ther box and the 1 that gets the hen in the box is the one for that week

sorry late reply,, no, wouldnt advice every week,, but maybe for some ,,, the stubborn yearlings ,, but they must be of a calm type

yes i agree, they do get cute,, but once on the ball   really   ruitine should suffice ,, my thoughts are, its  much to do with the temprement of the individual pigeon

many years ago, i didnt use nest pans, just thick straw, when on w/hood everything was gutted out,, and the loft bare, b4 any impoerant race, the straw went in,, and did they remember it ,,, but one fancier watching me tried this [birds had never seen straw] put the fear of death into the birds, didnt trap on the sat,, so maybe a lesson here

[jimmy white]

try slipping a 2 ybs under a w/hood cock [an older one for a distance race] never having had eggs or seen his hen for 4 weeks,,the 6 year old cock,  took to these yb s like a duck taking to water , became a different pigeon, allmost overnight, ,,,15th rennes nat blue riband race

Nothing, I play no tricks, whether I'm missing a trick I don't know, but I did the same for my first race as I did for my last, last season, and I was happy with how the birds performed.

to be honest i dont play many tricks but when there is a older cock in the loft that after geting cute as i think they do at times i feel the odd time they need a little jig espacilly at sprint races

 

but in this sport in most cases there seems to be no right or wrong way  :-/

[jimmy white]

in both these threads management and motivation for w/hood cocks,, i think there is something for every one there, and every post a good one,,,, but one thing tops the lot ;D    never change a winning system ;D,, good luck all,,
