dunc50 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Report Posted February 9, 2016 Have they been out before you got them or have they been prisoners all there lives?its the race team from last year i moved the loft 5 weeks ago about 1, 1/2 miles down the road, hunger is a great thing
lanarkshire lad Posted February 9, 2016 Report Posted February 9, 2016 its the race team from last year i moved the loft 5 weeks ago about 1, 1/2 miles down the road, hunger is a great thingOh right I moved my loft much the same distance about 30year ago and before I moved it I took the cocks to the new location and let them go in the garden where the loft was going to be positioned I done this about three or four times and when I tried to break them to the new location they all broke with no problems, I never done this with the hens and I had lots of problems with them.

dunc50 Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Posted February 11, 2016 cheersdoos only out 2 days and female sharp wing started to patrol and check for a chance of dinner, :emoticon-0179-headbang: :emoticon-0179-headbang:
hotrod Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 Can't get that let them all out ,pigeons are gregarious ,(like company) so breaking one at a time is far better . You can break 2/3a day no prob see ,except the stubborn ones usually hens ,just like women .
Valiant Fifer Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 Spot on there stuart. Agree with everything you said there m8especially the very last bit lol!
hotrod Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 Spot on there stuart. Agree with everything you said there m8especially the very last bit lol! Stuart if it was me I would have had the broken ones out each day and let one out with them would be back at new location in no time following others , I've seen it on here a few times guys just opening loft and letting everything out ,nuts IMHO .
dunc50 Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Posted February 11, 2016 Stuart if it was me I would have had the broken ones out each day and let one out with them would be back at new location in no time following others , I've seen it on here a few times guys just opening loft and letting everything out ,nuts IMHO .they were a dozen out that were broken the day i let them all out, and only 3 or 4 birds took to the wing at any one time, i was not catching up 30 pair of birds every day to put in nest boxes to let out 2 birds a day expletive remove you think i dont work, the birds that went to the old premises were struck with a sharpwing and will not return through that valley
hotrod Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 Ok everyone has an opinion , I did it the way I said ,oh and I work 6/7 days a week , I broke mine two weeks before the first old bird race and still won the federation old bird average . That year . I think if you had even let out 4/5 birds a day over weekend that would have been 8/10 then the same each weekend , not long before they were all broke with very few on roofs for nights at a time . Again jmho . Good luck getting them back and in , cheers Stuart .
