Moving young cocks
Ok might be easy with the v perch idea on the box as they can’t be thrown off so easyMIL wrote: ↑Sun Aug 18, 2024 12:58 pm In the past I had the odd young cock that flew the programme as a YB and then never showed itself as a cock until after the moult.
So that "cock" moulted out in his YB pen with the hen
He went through the moult no faster or slower than those that I'd moved
So for me, crack on
we do same lock old cock boxes up and let ybs pick others then put ob back later

You can do as Worm says Neil - It's an option for sure
Me, there's not a chance in f^ck that any young cock would move an old cock out of his box
His box is his life - that's what he races to
If he goes to an old cocks box the young cock will soon get shifted and told to go elsewhere

My widowhood cocks are paired at present. They will stay paired for a little while and kept flying out. Once I decide to split them up I will move any young cocks I want for widowhood next year will be moved into the section. They will very quickly sort themselves out.
Back just enjoying club racing for the time being.
You're a good pigeon man
The best asset a good pigeon man has is his instincts - TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS
Sometimes I had a team of 18 cocks and 12 of them had retained their box
I had a max 6 young cocks I could take forward and maybe 15 staring back at me that had done nothing wrong
Sometimes I sold a young cock that couldn't make my team
His crime? He was bred from my Stock team and had been a 1st prizewinner that season as a baby
But what csn you do you can't keep them all if you're restricted on space like I was
So; TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS Neil
