i have raced darkness yb,s right through to yb nat approx 280 miles stopped the natural ybs at 100 miles only differance was i had more natural ones left ;D but as yearlings made no differance [but wouldnt put yearlings in a basket till the weather was warm in may [ this year we had a good april but rubish since ;D] kept training natural ybs though

yb racing so unpredictable nowadays would tend to start stopping some after being well trained and about 4 races [so many each week] depending how returns were

i think feeding yb in a dowelled feeder with a lid on top , then after feeding put galley pots of water in the feeder , this does train them to poke their heads through the dowels [same as baskets] for a drink ,,,but taking the drinkers away i wouldnt advise as they would retain their food in their crop till they had a drink ,,,if this was too close to basketing ,they would most probably bring it up and be worse off

i apologise isaid that wrong in my post ,, this was more for cure rather than prevention but vaccinations can be had [salmonella, paratyphoid the same ]

whether you pay £500 or get a gift bird ,, the main thing is the management of the birds

not looking good for sat, but the weather men have been wrong a lot this year ,, pouring here yesterday but not too bad today

nobilis seemingly have a vaccine for this but only on vets prescription,,but antibiotics that may help would be aureomycin [soluble or tablet 25mgm ] teramycin again on prescript. there is also a sal-bac paratyphoid vaccine , but difficult to get ,,acid loft dressing for loft or sani-coop,,,but vets advice really

noblis make many vaccines , paramyxo salmonella paratyphoid,bird flu etc etc i take ie the one you will use is" nobilis nobivac " for paramyxo [meningitis mentioned, can cause difficulty for pigeon fanciers?? as pigeons cannot catch meningitis directly [these posts can be found on the web without being a member,will pm later and explain ,,,jimmy

no, your quite right tammy nobivac is for paramyxo,,but if you look up www.provet.co.uk or just nobilis and bird flu

{MOVED-MESSAGE-PLACEHOLDER}

there is no vaccine for meningitis in pigeons ,,, the vaccines mentioned in the above posts are noblis for bird flu and columbovac for paramyxovirus

even if you dont have a microscope its cheaper to have their droppings tested than pay for" cure" that is going to tear their guts out maybe unnecessary
