    If they have to be in the confines of the loft what about the large ETS traps that are being sold by petron lofts that have the pad in the sputnick type trap on the outside of the loft is this still classed as in the confines of the loft?
  3. Thanks for the reply i'm sorted now, the bird was lost as a young bird from a guy in Barrow in-furness so it must have been held prisoner by some one. many thanks again.
  4. an in today any body knows who it belongs to, cheers
  5. Do they have grit available to them, if not a small amount of fresh grit daily plus probaotics on the food ie live yoghurt and muti vits in the water for a couple of days, also once a week give cider vinegar in the water this should clear the problem. Hope this helps
  6. Same happened to me on Friday i think it is still abit cold at the moment, most of my young birds took around 5 hours to come 15 mile with one still missing, i'm hoping it is the col and that there is not a perc on th route i train on, hope you have now had all your late breds back.

  9. Hi I have just had a bird come home to me that has been away since last May it still have rubber on that is perished. The bird itself looks in perfect health, hows about that what a turn up for the books. what i think has happened is that it has been into somebody elses loft and when they have started training this year it has decided to head home. what do other members think?
  10. Thanks but that sounds a lot considering the bottle is only small. i'm not saying you are wrong it just seems a lot, my be i have got a strong bottle
  11. Can anybody please advice me on the usage of this item. i have been told to put 1 drop on the back of the neck of each bird for the treatment of lice and worms, but talking to a friend he tells me that in the past people have had problems doing it this way and he advices putting it in the water, if anybody can tell me the dosage to put in the water it would be very helpfull.
  12. Blackdog just what i was looking for, many thanks.
  13. Thats a good idea i have been told to put builders lineing paper on before putting shiplap on to keep all the damp.
  14. thanks mate 2 more to go. i see by reading at the bottom of your reply that it is your first season if good luck and i hope it goes well for you. this is my 4th year racing young birds and if you enjoy it as much as me you are infor a great time.

  20. Hi can anybody tell me what TROMEXIN is used for.
  21. Hi Fifer yes both eyes are watery. there is no new paintwork in the loft or anything new at all
  22. I also have one pigeon with watery eyesin my stock loft what can i treat him on his own, i dont want to treat all the loft as there are stock feeding young in there, he is not feeding at the moment (he is still sitting ) sorry to have maybe highjacked the thread but thouight it better to ask on here as apposed to starting a new thread Thanks
  23. Sorry to hear of your loss Vinnie i know how you feel, i lost my Lakey cross ( Scud ) last year 18th june still breaks my heart, though i must admit it made it easier when i got my new Lakey cross ( Meg ) it realy eased the pain
  24. sorry for going off the original thread, But could someone answer. I have just ordered a Unikon ETS system the Gold package deal. will i get the software to download all the information to my own computer. this probably sounds a stupid question to most of you but i i know very little about it.

    Grass roots

    Hi has anybody applied for a grant from grass root and been successfull for ETS, i'm looking for some advice of how to fill this in without getting it wrong and being turned down. i think our club needs this as we have a few older members that would benefit from using ETS but as most of them being pentioners cannot afford to buy it without some help.
