Widowhood Cocks and stray Hens

[Diamond dave]

Doesnt it make you mad!!!!!!

 

You spend all week building your birds up, Then when you let them out Thursday morning after about ten minutes flying they pick up a stray hen - thats it, no more flying. So you get em in, scare off the stray then when you let em out in the evening the bl**dy things back again.

Any one got any ideas how to get the cocks going again or do you think it's not worth sending them this week?

Look on the brightside dave,at least it gave the cocks a little light relief from the usual boring,regemental,mind nummimg repetetive physiology you put them through week after week,they might even add a few yards to their vel`s come sat!

I take it you're a natural flyer Ben - Thanks for your help mate!!!

[Guest ben]

can`t see how any pigeon racing can be classed as "Natural flying",the point i was trying to make was,problems,or mistakes that crop up throughout the season must be turned to your advantage,see what happens,could turn you into a better fancier,thinking for yourself,instead of running for the nearest bookor video when widow cock starts carriyng nesting,or a widow hen won`t come in cause she`s to busy coming in the kitchen trying to pair to your mrs :
