.............. it's the first time it's happened in my lofts!

 

two widowhood cocks pairing up together.

 

Has anyone encountered this before ?

Had two cocks paired together last year.Gave them a bowl and some eggs and they sat on them in turn for over 6 weeks,had never seen the like of it.

I take it they were both Gay pieds

I had it thought it was going to be great motivation, they were absolute useless!! Hope you have better luck, the only thing I never tried was slipping a young bird under them.

Had much the same experience Wiley.One of them managed a 3rd one week but they were never the first pigeons to the loft.

 

Tried the youngster and lost one of them that week,putting an end to the madness

Had 2 cocks pair together only the once in 2006 and i slipped them a pair of fertile eggs and let them rear the pair of yb's and 1 of them won Leicester all pools and accy came like a train

 

No sure who was the giver and who was the taker though :emoticon-0136-giggle: :emoticon-0136-giggle: :emoticon-0136-giggle:

I don't fly widowhood, but I have had natural cocks pair as YBs. I've found one of the pair has made good results, and that even when they remain an item during the winter using one box, these yearling cocks will still pair with hens OK, even when they are in adjacent boxes.

 

Funniest thing I did see though was from a 3-yo I brought in for racing this year. He liked his hen to tread him, so when he tread her, he'd stoop but another cock - any cock near hand - would tread him. He didn't seem to mind, cos it happened a few times. No - he turned out a right donkey and I dropped him a few weeks back.

Contrary to popular belief constantly pulling your pudding doesn't make you go blind it in fact makes you go deaf.

 

I guess you heard wrong!!
