  1. Paramyxo is a notifiable disease so if you go to your vet and mention this he will report it to DEFRA Just something to consider
  2. If its paramyxovirus then neither Baytril, Parastop, nor Amoxicillin will cure this as antibiotics cannot treat a virus, these will only treat any secondary bacterial infection and could make the situation worse If it is paramyxovirus then you need to support the birds with vitamins / electrolytes in the water, ( they will be drinking a lot of water ) and feed them on pellets only which are digested easily and will stop them scattering food everywhere when they are sick which will help reduce spread of virus when other birds eat spewed up corn The loft floor will be wet so the slops need to be scraped up and floor dried of with gas burner then a scattering of staloson F or shavings applied daily If it is paramyxovirus there is no short cut to a cure but you should see some improvement after about 3 weeks, i assume they have not been vaccinated previously against this so in the interim some will probably die and any that display twisted necks etc will not fully recover and should be culled Hopefully after a month or so the virus will have run its course and most of the birds will have survived or recovered when they should then be vaccinated with Nobilis or Colombo-vac where this should be ongoing on an annual basis Some may not agree with the above advice but that is how I would proceed having had some experience with this viral disease on an occasional basis since it first came on the scene in 1983 ( above assuming it is paramyxo ) where it Deffo sounds like it Hope this helps
  3. Early days with them Del but sure something will do me a turn out her

    I think Tommy missed out the word fees and meant to say Quote, a reduction in membership FEES is a step in the right direction, Unquote

  10. Well done Tam in what has been I difficult YB season
  11. Happy birthday Peter, have good one
  12. Every Fed who have flown this route with YB,s during the last 20 plus years have been wiped out so it's obvious what is happening and you shouldn't be surprised that Lanarkshire have been slaughtered this year The answer is simple, don't race this route especially with youngsters
  13. Not rocket science but that's called using yer heed
  14. Very well done Hugh, 3 entered and 3 in the clock and on the result and a nice lift into the bargain
  15. You guys have done great going on your own as a club, well done
  16. Must have aged really fast in the few weeks between winning Dunbar as a yearling and being shot as a 4 year old flying from Fraserburgh !!
  17. Yip, when I read all the posts on here with returns, results etc from Feds / clubs racing the east route I feel sorry for them when compared to Lanarkshire on the west route, there's no doubt about about it Wild West is best, believe that if you want
  18. Your right John but at least those racing east still have them to send, Lanarkshire, the biggest Fed in the country are wiped out after a few races on the west route where I am sure this will come as no surprise to you having been there and done it previously with Midland
