bombersbullets Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 hi how are members on here keeping there widowhood hens as mine seem to keep pairing togther they are on v perches and a wire floor and feed on barley only any other idears but not boxing them as i dont like to box them up thanks Grahamaup m8 i see u have a wire floor if there pairing on the floor make the floor spring loaded so when they land on the floor it moves if u know what i mean and put a couple inch fall on the wire floor i know what u mean about boxing them up i dont like to do this but i do think it is the best way hope this helps cheers Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest triballofts Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 well were on a sprung wire floor now see how that goes thanks for your replys Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiley Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 also depends on how much your feeding them how lets say frisky they are, even if there on barley they will pair depends on how much you are giving them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest triballofts Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 hi im feeding them on 1oz each but they are still pairing togther 8 hens 8oz per day Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiley Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 an ounce is roughly 28.5 gramms, get yourself an electric scale, and cut it down so each pigeon gets 25 gramms which is still adequete enough, and see how you get on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
