gnipper 5,944 Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 Get em on wheat mate, maybe pigeon mix on a weekend or something. When they are on wheat they will fly slower and kit better. The cleaned wheat from the shops is only a tad dearer than dusty farm wheat. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would, stick them on half rations for a couple of days first too so that they are watching the feeder like a hawk and whistle or call however you like at feeding time until they respond to it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is why I don't like kit boxes, I can't see what's going on. I grew up with big lofts so we spent time in there watching em. I actually had two gay pigeons, to frill backs, they would sit on eggs and hatch and rear em. I, two proper benders they were Edited June 17, 2021 by DIDO.1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You won't be able to easily rear youngsters with the adults on rations and you won't get the others back in if you feed a lot. I've found dogs like pigeon eggs too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
