Guest homestead Posted February 12, 2011 Report Posted February 12, 2011 AFTER POSTING THAT LAST THREAD I WENT OUT TO FIND MY DOG HAD BURST THE WIRE DOOR OPEN AND I HAVE NOW LOST ALL MY COCKS BAR ONE TO SAY IM GUTTED IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!! i;m sorry to hear that George perhaps you should now think of getting some young birds in and forget breeding this year. From what i have seen on this site it wouldn't be long before you had a young bird team of gifted birds. although i live in Manchester if i can be of help please ask

I was thinking my dogs cage and trap the one I have left in it with some feed and see what I can do what a plonker can't believe it but sh-t happens

I was thinking my dogs cage and trap the one I have left in it with some feed and see what I can do what a plonker can't believe it but sh-t happens yes, that might be better than a basket, would be good if you could fit some bob wires, so they can not escape from the dog cage once inhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0126-nerd.gif

geordie1234 Posted February 12, 2011 Author Report Posted February 12, 2011 Went down and checked on the cage I fitted with bob wires with food in it and the were all sitting round about it so I think its just a matter of time before some go throw the bob wires hunger always wins

sapper756 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Posted February 12, 2011 do you think i would be better with the cock out no m8, leave the cock for now, but remove it before you leave for the night.

Guest Freebird Posted February 12, 2011 Report Posted February 12, 2011 Sorry to hear this Geo but hopefully lessons learnt. At least it is the right (if that is possible) time of year for this to happen. Two weeks from now you will be smiling at this escapade mate. Good luck and best wishes. Bye the way, You have handled this well.
