ive got a bit ov a problem

ive stopped using the trough for my pigeons

put golly pots in

the problem is when i let my cocks out and get them in

they all scramble for each others pots in the boxes

its doing my head in

ive even let them out well fed but this hasnt stopped them

do u think its my stall traps because when i had open front i rearly had this problem?

They will soon get used to going in the right box - just takes time  

[jimmy white]

yes max ,, had that prob plenty times , but as steve says , they eventually cotton on

[madmaxlofts]

it just proper winds me up

not used to messing about chasing the cocks out ov each others boxes

[NANCYVIEWLOFTS]

until they know their boxes properly dont put the pots in until you feed them

I would say its the stall traps, its filtering the birds in, all they,re doing is thieving each others feed while the other cocks are waiting to get in. Once all the birds are in they should eventually sort themselves out, it should encourage them to trap quicker. if you want to ensure they are getting their correct feed, just get them in with a tit-bit in each box, peanuts or seed, and then when they have settled put the correct feed in each pot.
