eastcoaster Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 First yb hatch today in stock loft with another 12 due in the next few days ,11 /13 pairs in the roundabout loft due to hatch in the next few days ,the 12 pairs of yearlings in the natural loft ? some are on eggs /some just paired up /others no interested but not taking anything from them and all will be split again soon.The yearlings are on open hole and you should see them fly in all weathers snow,rain,galeforce winds they love it .
Guest TAMMY_1 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 did intend pairing some up after we got back from Blackpool but were too busy with other things to do this but will pair up mid February
Guest The Newbie Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 All the stock are sitting except 3,pairs of yearlings they havent laid yet race birds will be paired in the next week.
kirky Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 all pairs have nests built just waiting for eggs,
Leroy Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 I've had my first 5 hatch out today, from both stock and racers. I'm just glad it's 5 degrees warmer than it has been recently. I can't wait for the rest to hatch. One pair is a week behind, another 2 pairs have only just laid, down to smashed eggs the first time around. I'm hoping this will be my first season where i put more effort in and hope to see the same from the birds. I'm concentrating on a smaller number of young birds, probably about 12. I'm going to see if less really is more!!!! Good Luck to everyone else this season. Lee

sapper756 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 Just checked the stock teams eggs, quite a few chipping, so first youngsters should make an appearance tomorrow, if all goes well, 1 pair the eggs are empty thoughhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0138-thinking.gif

sapper756 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 Slip them a chipping egg yes, I was considering that m8http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0140-rofl.gif
Leroy Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 Slip them a chipping egg I had a strange situation this year. One pair ended up with 3 eggs, so I thought another hen had slipped in and laid hers when the resident hen was out. I figured the culprit would end up with a single egg, but every other pair laying at the time had two eggs of their own. Anyway, the first two have already hatched, and when I came home tonight the third was chipping. Luckily I have a hen who smashes her own eggs every year so I had her sitting pot eggs until today and I've slipped the chipping egg under. Hopefully she won't squash the chick like she does the eggs!
blaz Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 not as good as i had hoped .with changing a few pair their not that keen on their new mates .1 of the yearling pairs the hen i want paired to 1 of the dark ch does not like any of them she likes loves BB.put her to side with dark ch for few days think job done put pair back in she then goes chasing any BB she can.
