Gazza have you had your birds treated or had them checked before pairing up as it does'nt sound right if they have been paired since Christmas and you still haven't any sitting on eggs :emoticon-0138-thinking:

gazz ive seen this happen before if you put birds togethere then get a cold snap as we did around christmas and first few days in the new year it knocks the birds right back this happened to me 2years ago and some pairs did not lay till end of feb and march and then only after i split them again for one week and gave them plenty hemp seed they went down two weeks later that why i now have heating in my stock loft makes a big difference if you can keep the temp up early on when its cold just till they lay m8 hope this helps

Gazza there is still plenty of time to get a team of Ybs ready for racing, I haven't even got my birds paired yet. If those 10 eggs all hatch your off to a good start and they'll be a few more to follow. This is a lot better than having an overload of Yb's you gather up to start with and end up with the usual problems with over crowding :animatedpigeons:

Bryngwynt Lofts · February 17, 2014

We're the birds paired up ?

Sitting ybs ?

Did you let both cocks and hens out together ?

Or lock up hens ?

Did you keep them on the hungry side before letting out ?

Would have thought with having access to aviary they could have had a good look around though.

Any more info?

Have you any stock flying out ?

As this would help,like you say you've ticked most of the boxes.

I'm sure when they are feeling hungry they will get the idea of a new loft!

Don't try and break till the birds in the nest are out then put them down again and carefully pick a few at a time once a few are flying out it gets easier
