Tried Breaking My Birds, Nightmare

February 19, 2011

I finally tried to break my birds today after letting them rare young birds and where sitting on eggs again. I just let out 7 cocks and they are still sitting up at the old house. They flew over a few times, but never looked at th lofts. You can almost throw a stone to the old house. I just hope that hunger will get the better of them and they mite come back tomorrow.

Should i let there hens out, or will that make it worst.

Thanks

Don't let the hens out, I'm sure the cocks will come being that close to the old home

If you can see your old house you have left it to long before trying to break them!

Would have been better to have done it a couple of weeks after moving or sooner if you moved the loft and kept them hungry.

You can't keep the birds hungry if feeding young!

My Old house it higher up and there are houses and trees in between. Basically im just in the estate.

I moved the young birds from the 7 cocks during the week and they are now back on eggs. I hope i havnt left it too late, i thot trying to settle them wud be better. Fingers cross, they will come round.

I tried that tonite, but it was quite late and the birds had already settle at the old house for the nite. Will try again, first thing in the morning.
