One For The Roundabout Flyers

[demolition man]

Out of interest when flying roundabout why is it most lofts if not all the lofts allow the cocks to have the boxes full time why not the hens?

[blaz]

i would say so as cocks know their own box.as you won,t get hens fighting for box well not as much as cocks.omo

[greenlands]

Never flew roundabout system but would the hens not pair on if given nest boxes

As we all know cocks are very territorial and if you keep the cocks away from there boxes they won't fly when let out as they will be too focused on getting back into their box.JMO

Cheers John i was thinking this would be the case, i thought with the cocks not having the box it would make them keener, having never tried the system myself i could of be thinking sh%$!

[PIGEON_MAN]

Was speaking to a guy last year about flying roundabout and he was telling me that he keeps the hens shut up in the boxes to stop them pairing and the cocks on V perches in the next section,this guy is a very good National,BICC and BBC flyer,perhaps he as better hens than cocks I,m not sure.
