Many of our program Users have had problems with pairing birds in PLO program. Below I explained fully how to do this right and explained also all function from Pairing birds sheet what will let you do pairing without any problem.
Before starting to pair, you have to enter your birds to the program database in Pairing form. You enter all birds in Bird form. After saving the birds to the database, you can start pairing. You have to remember that the birds choosen for pairing have to own a status of Racing or Stock (choosen earlier in Bird Information form ). Birds marked as Archive will not appear on the list of cocks or hens choosen for pairing.
1. Choose Pairing item from Breeding menu. After opening Pairing form, first choose the loft name in which you will pair your birds (f. ex. Breeding or Racig Loft), then choose the date and the nestbox nmber will be set atomatically.

4. If you have already choosen your pair, you can compare pedigrees of the hen and the cock (click Cock and Hen pedigree), you can compare their rating (click Cock and Hen Rating) and you can check how many young birds has that cock had and with what hens and the same concerning the hen. Those three options will let you make the right decision while pairing your birds. Remember that well pairing will put an important influence to your success. If you have saved photos of your birds' eyes in the database before, you will be able to compare them during the pairing.

Before saving a pair, browse the pedigrees of choosen birds, compare the descendants and rating. You should search for the pedigrees of the best pigeons before the pairing, see how the best breeders do this process. Then you would gain the knowledge how to create a good pairing.
