ive found that getting roosters to come to you is usually as easy as getting out a hen when she is trying to do the egg laying song and dance before or after, heck even roosters that arnt mine come from neighbor farms and call if they are out there.
on another odd note.. does anyone keep the homer, roller, or tumbler, etc.. pigeons around me? a friend has some, but refuses to take care of them to let them breed even (children and chickens stealing eggs and destroying nests etc), an its not looking good for me to get four foster eggs from their pair, for my doves to raise or just incubate slf, and then ive them the babies as theyll happily care for even huge racing pigeon i put in out of bator. i fell in love with the way they evade the raptors, as well as aireal manuvers and stunts in general, but mostly the tight back flips or summersaults they do. seen alot on the pigeon threads, andpeople giving pigeons away (cantfind the ads in sale sections to see if close, as even some family think and said while back i should get into working back with them), and figured maybe someone was having pigeons lay or had to many aqueekers etc, and i could try to get some. neighbors are doing fine it seems, and still come back under supposed less than ideal conditions, so figure i couldnt do to bad, as had homer and racers before, just always was taught that the tricks had to be difficiancies, and never saw the kind im seeing with this pair (also so amll like doves), and ones ive come across since on net (accidentally was led to parlor Utube video, and was appalled and said thought was cruel, then was educated on the stunt pigeons (forgive me the right terms escape me right now), like the idea of being able to watch them free fly to watch out in open.
P.S. pigeons, and or doves arnt illegal now here are they, if anyone knows??? lol just figured id ask, as then ill just go fly mine at neighbors were in "little mexico" no one bothers you if you know people their and the cops even just keep on rollin and guess dont care what goes on down the hill unless called for something (the neighbors there come to think of it had pens outside of chickens, and coops etc sticking out of windows like air conditioners, and numerous guard dogs chained and penned up ll along yards). didnt see a goat (yes i had a mini goat for a while), just the two sheep. lol
