Mattydoos79 Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 I know another topic but I'm still learning right I'm asking, I have 2 pigeon lofts in my garden 1 got 2 sections and the other loft got breeding boxes now that my racing is finished and soon be winter too, so I'm wondering I leave the cocks in with the breeding loft and the hens with my young birds in my 2 section but what happens for the new season? I put the hens back in with cocks? And the young birds become old birds do I put them in the breeding loft? I'm confused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 If you are going to race old birds to the loft with the nestboxes, put all the cocks in there and let them get settled in the boxes, keep the hens in the other loft until pairing up, then put the ybs you breed into the other loft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E.g. I want to select some cocks for new season breeding and how do you pair with a selection? As going natural will muck up some bloodlines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
