SAVE YOUR MONEY

get 2 marbles ,a white one and a black one, put them in a box over your head and let them roll around for 20 sec and then reach in and pick one out while holding the bird you want to know the sex of. If the ball is white it is a hen ,if black it a Cock. This works 50 % of the time without fail and much cheaper to buy  :

tie a screw on a piece of string move it from side to side above the base of the tail.if the string stays swinging from side to side it's a cock if it starts to circle it's a hen.never been wrong for me.

[rockinrick]

better still watch the pigeons , if one starts gettin noisy then its a hen ( lmao )   ;)

:D :D :D :D :D

THIS IS ALLMOST EXACTLY THE SAME AS THAT THING YOU BUY FROM THAT PLACE IN SCOTLAND, SEE WE CAN MAKE MONEY FROM ANYTHING,IT IS A SMALL SHINEY BAR ON A WIRE AND THE PRICIPLE OF WORKING IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS ABOVE AND IT IS AS SAID NEVER WRONG

[Guest Paulo]

save you money you may as well flip a coin to sex the birds plus even experienced fanciers get mixed up until they see a hen sweeping its ladyboy tail lol.

 

Murray & Mills are good suppliers through very good fast service and if there is a problem they keep in touch. Just been on the phone to one of them today about my pigeon dvd I've ordered.

Saying that theres always exceptions to the rule,this maybe in my loft doesnt work all the time id say a ration 6/10 percent of the time,cos the last breeding season i thought right i got a lot of cocks here cos there all standing up puffing out and tryna peck me,how wrong was I,I ended up with more hens then cocks,and some that i thought in the nest coooooooor turning out to be cracking little cocks lol ended up as cracking little hens

i was sending for someother products anyway, so what the hell ill give it ago. and this is what i got,

                       an .22 airgun pellet tied to a piece of yellow cotton 18 inch's long.a piece of paper with the following instructions:-

  

            

   Hang the lead weight approximately one inch

   From the back of the pigeons neck for best results

   at the base of the neck.

   Amazingly the lead weights starts to move you must

    Use a steady hand.

    When the weight swings in a circular motion this

    Indicates that the pigeons is a Hen

 

    When the weight swings from side to side this

     Indicates that the pigeons is a Cock.

  

     It can be used on eggs but not as accurate.

YOU SHOULD SEND THAT BACK AND ASK FOR A REFUND AND ASK THEM WHY ON THEIR WEBSITE THEY ONLY SHOW A PAPER BAG AND NOT WHAT'S IN IT

Q27   I was wanting to know how to sex pigeons. Thanks,Jacob

 

A There in no infallable way of sexing pigeons that I have found and I presume I must have tested most all of these fallacies or supposed methods. However as a fancier who handles a minimum of 1000 birds per month in my job, not including my own pigeons the nearest way of recognising the difference is as follows. The cocks eyelids are round where a hens eye lids are dished at the bottom and is alike to the bottom eyelid of a human being. As they say, a picture can explain a thousand words.

 

 

There is an explanatory photo on his website

[Jeremy]

Is the pellet lead or steal its worth more if its lead?? ;D

[Ronnie]

i read somewhere that if you look at the rump of a squeaker if it is smiling its a cock if its sad its a Hen.

dunno if its true or not just read it somewhere.

FORGOT TO ADD IT WAS HIGH GRADE LEAD STRAIGHT FROM LEADHILLS

[NANCYVIEWLOFTS]

years ago when a women was expecting a baby they would dangle a needle and cotton over the pregnant womans belly if it went ronnd it was thought to be a boy and if it swung side to side a girl

[Jeremy]

Turn the pigeon upside down and its head facing you in your hand if it kicks its right foot first its a cock left a hen you try it
