breeding roller pigeons!!!!

[pigeonE15]

hi well im having alot of trouble because i dont know if you saw in my previous threads i had my breeding pairs with my chickens and my flyers in another coop. and since my breeders are in my chicken coop (one pair of rollers and one pair of roller homer) when ever they lay an egg the chickens will hop on and lay eggs and break the pigeon eggs and my idea of that i have a 4ft. by 2ft looking like rabbit hutch that is good for 2 nest boxes. and my question was that can i divide the rabbit hutch in half and keep one roller pair in one half and roller homer in other half. and also i really badly want to seperate the home-roller pigeons because they have more babies then the rollers pair!!!! and i have a black feral pigeon who i now call a male and put it instead in the rabbit hutch with the homer by them selves without dividing the hutch and its other roller pair pair it up with another roller.!!!!! i know this is confusing but rite now what i really need is how to seperate the roller and the homer and make them pair up with different birds!!! and later about the dividing rabbit hutch because so far i only have 2 birds in the flyer!!!!

If you trying to break up pairs it is best to put the desired pair in quarantine away from their old mates.

The further away the better where they can not see or hear the other bird if possible.

Some times regardless you may not be successful.

It is not a perfect world.

Yes the rabbit hutch can be divided, but use a solid divider where they can't see each other. Like mentioned above, keep the roller and homer where they can't see each other. Keep them alone for a week before introducing their new mate. It will help make them more motivated to mate up instead of fight or just sit and look at each other.
