Welcome to Pigeon Basics Arnold , firstly what are you trying to achieve , then we can help you cocks will drive hens until the hen goes to nest . Are these just young birds or adult birds ???? are you going to be racing them ???????

young cocks always mature sooner than hens, if you have got the space you can spilt them,a lot of fanciers race them like that only letting them together on fridays before thay go to the race, you will need to fly them out on there own during the week.
