PigeonDetective Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Hi all, iv just separated a pair and put the cock with my chosen quarantined new hen. He was all flirty with other hens when in the other loft. Now he's just agitated and trying to get out back to his old mate, makes me feel sorry for him! When will this settle down? I dont want to keep him confined to the breeding cages, but I'm worried he will just get more worked up in the aviary. The hen doesn't know what's hit her, hardly romantic when your new partner keeps going on about his ex. It is early days, just need to reassurance and tips if anyone has any input.. Thanks,Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PigeonDetective Posted July 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Thanks for the reply.. Does it matter if he can see his old loft? Not nice seeing him pacing up and down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PigeonDetective Posted July 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 More of the same today.. He's a little more relaxed.. Doesn't appear to care less if the hen was there or not though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter dempsey Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 I would remove old hen from original loft and leave him in his old loft with new wife you would be surprised at the outcome strange hen strange loft not a good combination IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PigeonDetective Posted July 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Good thinking.. Didn't really cross my mind.. So you don't think I should persist with the way it is now? He's familiar with the enclosure hesun now.. Was settled into there and raised 2 clutches there.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
