What is the right age to take a Youngster away from the nest Please

I`d say around 28 days old, generally when they are covered under the wings.....some might wean at 26 - 27 days depends on individual

Thank you very much pal I went in The loft this morning and found at 28 day old today dead just wondered if the parents could have been fighting on top of it or something They all seem to be ok healthy and that

quite possible jet, maybe another cock went into the nest box, 28 days is a bit old to get trampled I would think, but not out of the question if two cocks were having a prolonged fight.......

does it look like the yb has been attacked by a older ck as david says I cany see a 28 day old yb being trampled ...look down the ybs throat see if theirs any type of blockage

look at the other end if theres nothing in its throat.

We've checked the pigeon Looked down its throat Everything seems ok But there is some Feathers Missing off their pigeons head But there is no blood

maybe just one of those things,if every other bird looks ok and the droppings are ok nothing you can do.
2 seasons ago i picked a bl.wht.yb out of its box it was about 25 doy, i put it back in and it dropped dead
no idea wtf was a matter with it...maybe weak heart all birds and animals us included could have something
undiagnosed and drop dead....on thhat cheerful note atb with the rest of your ybs

Thanks for your help Lads that's much appreciated

Sounds as if it had a hart attack wouldn't worry to much if all the others look OK I wean mine as soon as they are eating OK or the feathers are all covers under the wings and you can't see any skin

Sounds a reasonable type of assumption FW     from my point of view etc. Could name 100 different one off moments I've had with my birds in my time as such . Some thing happens 2nd time around in quick succession  that's when I start to be some what concerned thou here, but it doesn't normally happen, thankfully.
