The money you pay for that stuff, "you have been done"

Each to their own M8,but I only do them twice a year and have never experienced canker ..so it works

pigeon geos to race first week returns 20% canker goes the following week returns 30% canker and so on untill it gets slower and slower (like harky way the booze) so it would be best to treat every week then would it not ,done all that stuff of sending droppings etc away waste of money as they tell you anything and alf your that daft you beleive them

Is it ok to treat birds for canker when they have day old chicks?

There was a post on here about treating for canker a long time ago and it basically said there were about 8 identified strains with most being harmless and a couple being fatal about 90% of the time to birds that were previously unexposed most birds lived through the lesser strains and these that were later exposed to the more toxic forms were affected less with very few deaths
Using this info I quit treating for canker about 3 years ago and have had no visible problems with it,, I do treat my race team about 1/2 way through season but not breeders, bicarb soda alters PH and probably VERY little else ( it is used to alter the PH in swimming pools ) and guess what else I do.....
Cider Vinegar which as we all know alters the PH in the blood my guess canker probably has a real low tolerance for ph changes
I dont know just my guess
