sorry to hear this ste, it throws your whole plans out when this happens dont it............hope you get sorted.

fortit was abit funny it looked settled in the box aswell with other cock david fink it must ov just been toleratin it lol but ill sort out all others are well in the bowls so i put another hen in box with it and then its treadin hell out of it but does look heny fide lol

It happened to us Steve, with them Flor Engels and the Kellens VDB they really did look like hens too.
That's why we had to buy some in Blackpool

a few of my janssen cocks are smallish and heny looking, seems like a trait in certain lines of them...........

well folkes im baffled with that but wen ur told its a hen and on ped its a hen and its a bloody cock wudnt mind its not a yearling its 2 yrs old lol only thing i can fink of they put it down as hen as miststake lol

i bought what i thought was a cock and hen at a clearence sale last year steve, it said on the sales sheet and the pedigrees they were a cock and hen..........a few days later i realised after watching them in the loft that they were both hens, too late....nothing i could do im afraid.

sorry to hear mate but these things happen i was looking at my pedigrees i have in a folder earlier and noticed one that i got as a hen but turned out to be a cock, i also raced a hen as a cock all yb season lol

The Koopman hen I got from Blackpool has just turned out a cock.

there is nothing i detest more than a cock with heny head

i know folkes just in a pickle abit now as gt 2 bloodey gd cocks gonna get wasted if dont find 2 hens preety damn quick if any 1 knows anybody with 2 quality van reet hens let me know cheers

I've just had to send that Koopman cock back home with with Kev, as I've had it locked up with a cock since Monday. But now I let it out he has started ram raiding all the other boxes and my geriatric squad can do without that.
So I said to Kev did he want to take it otherwise I would stretched it neck.
That's bolloxed my plans.
What it is now George, these new style of European pigeons are a lot more slender and athletic looking than we are used to and there's not much difference between the two. So it's becoming a lot more difficult to sex the two on looks alone. On the upside, the cocks were double the price the price of the hens.

lol gaz are kid will have more pigeons than massa lol haha but ye done my head in this turnin a cock all the rest are realy settled in now aswell its gnna throw my breeding if dont get 2 hens soon as and just hope they pairquick lol

There's a good few for the chop, as they were only feeders.
Kev has really got his head screwed on this year mate, I'm proud of him.
He's done everything spot on.
Hopefully we should have some cracking racers this year.
We've both done some cracking pairings and brought in a few hopefully good lines.
I don't want to say too much about em until we see how they perform .
That Koopman cock has done me in.

about half ones brought end last year were wrong sex from very well know people

We know all about this, don't we Steve. The John Incident. Probably the same Louella.
