[Guest cowboy]

nice birds where  did you get  camera  

[pigeonman007]

Looking good.

Just built myself a blok of 8 widowhood boxes, look like roughly the same size as yours.

Do you keep them in there until eggs are laid, then allow them free access to the loft or are they just in there for a few days to form a pair bond?

[fletch]

nice birds there mate a few old boys in there whats the pair in the second picture

[S.D.B LOFTS]

Nice looking birds m8 what breeds are they ?

[Guest ian snaith]

[ransom50]

the camera is a samsung 10mgpixle £65 from argos,the birds are locked up till the ybs are abt 14 days old they are let out at different times i find this way you dont get no broken eggs and scalped ybs and they are very content,all the birds are van reets rgs   :)

hey guys yesterday went to the loft had a pair off egs of the stock , today in minus 3 had had another 4 pair laying , theres no heat , or light have to admit the birds are looking great

[pigeonman007]

Got to agree, does seem a great idea to keep them in there and would simplyfy things for me. Is there enough room in there for them to mate? Same as Vallance, are they let out box by box at all?

[Peckedhen]

Will you have your rings in time?

[Ronnie]

got three weeks till i pair mine.Must say they are looking good.Just wish i had more cocks still quality not quantity eh .

Some nice birds there Ranson and they look well matched

Good question there,it would make it easy for me aswell to keep them locked up but like you asked "is there enough room for them to mate?" :-/

[Okitsme]

I paired up on Saturday, not to breed early but to get enough eggs from my Stock to put under my racers. Dont want to breed from my racers. I am having trouble with one pair, can anyone give some advice. They just wont pair up. The others are all settled and cooing away in the nest bowls. I still have the problem pair seperated by a divider.

[Guest Vic]

The ring issue could present you with problems, unless they are foreign.

[Guest MBpigeonguy]

Cool

i haven't even finished breeding 2008 YB.

[ransom50]

 

Never known of anyone to lock them up this long - Are they given liberty such as morning and night one box at a time ?

 

Only curious as seems a good idea in theory    yes they are let out one pair at a time in each section this system works for us no box jumping ect its a chew especilay when ive got 30 pairs to see two but it has worked for years and it makes sure i have plenty of eary bred ybs never had problems with the rings they are always on time from the union :)
