I agree Bob, plenty of shavings is good for me too. These transporters can have 2 inches of shavings for the nationals.

Great transparency from the Lanarkshire fed.. Everyone has to agree, these transporters are the best in the business.The SNFC should be using them, without a shadow of a doubt.

Heard they were in at 2.45 in the deep south

R.I.P George, very sad news indeed.

Aye, its a cracker Jamie.

Any relation to John Cushley who originally came from up that way?

Not all YBS sufferers retain corn in the crop, cheers.

Its a pity we had to vaccinate ybs before they were raced. It would be great to do the full team, obs and ybs in September when all racing was complete,and then keep them in. Then YBS would be finished

Im afraid your wrong on one point John, everybody gets YBS, its just unseen or mistaken for something else at times. Ive been to top lofts and they have said theyve never had it and ive pointed out YBS when I was there. Astounded and somewhat embarrassed, theyve all changed their mind on what is and what isnt signs of YBS.Im not being a smart azz m8, I just have studied it for many years. ATB

Walter, ive said it before,my ybs were vaccinated very early and had no contact with each other for 3 weeks so this doesnt add up.They get the YBS at the same time every year regardless of when I mate up or wean them?? I understand everything your saying m8 and take it on board BUT a few things dont add up to me.Im a long time in this game and am open to any new knowledge thats available so I will definately vaccinate all my ybs at the same time next year, fingers crossed but im not totally convinced yet lol. ATB

Hi Billy, its not a maybe m8, its a fact that some birds spew while getting bumped about in the car on way to the marking station.I know a guy who scored with a hen in 2 channel races last year,( well up in west sect ) and his pigeon was sick in basket on way to marking.OBS vomitting at the loft can defo be a sign of candidia or wet canker, amongst other things.ps. Ive got YBS now, feed on perches this morning.Same time every year and I tried like fk to avoid it this year. So, im now puzzled about the vaccination thing being linked ??

Birds get travel sickness, thats a fact!!! but a pigeon being sick at the loft definately sets alarm bells ringing.

If you check back all the posts on YBS you will see we were talking about a link with the PMV vaccination and YBS.

Definately one of the good guys and you get no bull from Brian.

Thank you m8

Chad, are you one of the GOODIES lol.

For the last few years the virus has become weaker in my loft, whether its weaker or a different strain, im not sure.In fact , last year I only had one with full blown symptoms.EVERY YEAR I GET A TOUCH OF IT FROM 1ST-11TH MAY and today 3 of my ybs never responded to my call for feed, thats the first sign of it. ps.All these ybs were jagged at 9 days old so werent in contact with each other for around 2-3 weeks after the vaccination... Ill give ADENOSAN on the feed for a few days and any that show bad signs of YBS get it poured over their throat ( they splutter a bit with the powder but the ybs symptoms are fine after a couple of days of this )
