Guest IB Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Can't say I've heard of it either. But I can guess that it might be based on jealousy - I've seen a cock and hen showing up to each other through the partition between sections, when any other bird comes close on either side of the partition - it is chased off.

W.D. Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 In the 80s had a mate who had a peep hole between his widowhood cocks and his hens, though they were never raced.It wasn't deliberate but a knot in the wood partition that fell out just at pigeon eye level. This proved to be a godsend as they would fight over the area in front of it.He would block it off till thursday night and then unblock it and watch for the the most determined cock to claim it to pick his pooler.Though his best cock who won 6x1st one year never left his box.One of the others would when he was in form pace up and down in front of the hole, a bit like an expectant father in a waiting room, and even sleep outside it during the night, he won 3x1st one year when doing this.

peter pandy Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 When working for C.J.Williams the widowhood sections were attached to the Hen section behind. The nest boxes were 3ft deep and separated in the middle by a solid removable partition with a small sliding slot roughly 1 x 2 ins, 4 ins from the bottom. After pairs had bred 1 youngster the hen was put through the back loft and the partician was put in place, the hen was allowed to see the cock untill she had settled and realised that was her future perch then the sliding hole was closed and only opened when the cock was being sent to a race and on return. Looking and sweeping to each other was the only contact untill the end of racing when they were allowed to-gether and reared a late bred. It was very successful for us.

Roland Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Found it great for Widowhood cocks OR hens. Have a glass one side. Have a drop down perrch the other... say for the cock birds. Around an hour before basketing drop the leaf Perch and watch the cock birds strut their bits through the glass... Need only send the two dominate ones that hog and guard the perch mostly. Like wise the shoe box with a hole in one side. they will fight to claim it and get inside... again winner takes all and is sent. Next day let the have their mate.
