Breeding So Far?

[geordie1234]

Hows the members breeding went so far??

 

Mines i would say has been quite crap I have had 4 eggs broken and only 7 on 11 pair sitting on eggs the first eggs are due this weekend! I think the eggs are being broke because they are only yearling's so heres hoping they all hatch out

[blaz]

got of to a bad start with the freezing weather but going well now.

[Guest homestead]

I cant beleive the amount of pairs that have had 1 fertile and 1 clear egg this year

[cemetary]

Not as good as last year,cant put my finger on whats wrong, weather maybe,

[Guest stb-]

Quite good, all stock pairs youngsters are now weaned, and the widowhood team are all now feeding a 2 week old single youngster, so just waiting on the naturals, which I only put together last week, to start layinghttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0137-clapping.gifhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0137-clapping.gifhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0137-clapping.gif the stock pairs are now laying their second round of eggshttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0137-clapping.gifhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0137-clapping.gifhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0137-clapping.gif

Going great guns no complaints.

[lenton1163]

4 chicks in nest not paired them all up yet

[Guest youngboy]

could be better but could b alot worse

 

so going ok 3 were killed 1 unfertile pair of eggs AND PAIR LEFT on set of eggs

[Guest IB]

I put mine up on Feb 18th. They started laying 'on time' from 27th Feb but its been a real slow affair from then with new eggs laid on every day till 6th March, (10 days - 17 days) then a gap till the last pair laid on 9th March. Can't say why, weather wisnae any worse than last year when most were down in 8 - 10 days.

[gulkie]

best start iv had for a few years paired 14 feb 31 pair down, some

laid within 10 days rest over the next 3 days 1 clear egg 1 bashed egg.

6 pair yearlings still not laid.do me .

[just ask me]

[JohnQuinn]

was it his oan eggs john or another pairs because ive got a cock and he has broke his 2 oan eggs

[JohnQuinn]

His own and 2 other nests up to the day, had been a bully in the loft from the day it arrived and broke eggs last year too. Took it into his head he wanted a box he just fought 'til he won. He was by far the Biggest doo in my loft so had the size advantage over every other doo in my lofts.

[Guest spin cycle]

not so bad for me but not as good as i hoped as i wanted to be more advanced. weaned 3....2 not far off....5 hatched this week (hope they'll be BWF's HTH kit)4 pairs on eggs and 2 just rung

Cheers John for the reply! I think the cock i have is quite similar

[eastcoaster]

this my first full breeding season on my own and never beleived it happened every egg laid hatched ! had two yearling hens never laid though and 1 only one egg so chuffed with that .

 

not chuffed about the rpra one loft race they must be minimum of 30 days old and have to be in by the 28th march ! after the winter we just had ?, easy seen it`s to suit the south fanciers

[geordie1234]

Got my hatched today

[THE FIFER]

going good got 6 pair hatched from stock birds , all looking good

[Guest Owen]

I had a terrible start because I moved the Stock Birds to a new loft and they fought smashing eggs and injuring each other. Since then I have the breeding back on track. I will ring the latest youngsters this weekend which will take me over the 50.

I ordered 70 rings and I will fill them all very shortly. The first youngsters will be parted off with their mothers this weekend which will be nice. It will be training next week, I hope.

[Guest youngboy]

rung another 6 today and another 2 hatched

so 19 in total rung

[lvlasked]
