Talking about a good cheap supplement. this is a fantastic grit/mineral/salt supplement. mix in equal quantities crushed barbeque briquettes, rock salt (the type from the gritting machines) and clean soil. Mix altogether and fill your pots (I use the emptied red pickstone pots) after you fill the pots, let them dry out by natural means......the birds love this mixture once put in front of them

Its ok for me, used same name and password as previous

All i asked was what to give the birds after treatment? lol by the way guys i aint a racing man but tipplers but come on this site to gain knowledge from whats around the racing world - and glad i am on here as its very informative

Would anyone kill their kids or dogs/cats if they felt a bit sick?

i would like just to say this is the first time i will be using Baytril and hopefully the last as i dont prevantative as a rule, just had a bad breeding season with eggs failing to hatch and youngsters hatching dying in the nest after about 5 days or so, been informed that it is deffo parathyoid by the well informed, and advised to do all the birds

Thanks bigbok - would be interested if anyone else has used 10% will get intouch with the supplier to double check, as i say it says 5 - 7 days on the bottle maybe this compensates for using it over 10 days?

Bigbok - the stuff i have is 10% from a well known supplier in Sunderland dont want to name drop on this for obvious reasons, he reckons 1ml to 1 ltr for 5 - 7 days? but i keep reading on this site for 10 days

Lots of pros and cons on use of baytril, all i wanted was advice on post treating the birds after administering the antibiotic, i was going to treat withj parastop but managed to get the baytril quickly

can anyone recommend what to give birds after baytril treatlment, ie vitamins probiotics what brand etc.. Thanks

I am a tippler fancier, and looked at these boxes in wilkinsons today, my birds are half the size of racers,i wouldnt use these as think they to small for birds to tread in especially with the pan inside, and forget it if you want two pans inside box

going to get me layered then ;D

layers it will be then? :-/

Aye its the same up here in North East, £6 for 20Kg for layers, so i guess layers are the most popular for our mixing with the corn?

Is it just about the protein level as some of the posts seem to sway towards layers pellets? and some use it all year around, just wondering what is the best for mixing with the corn for breeding purposes, would layers be ok, or do others use the growers etc etc?

Whats the difference in the pellets, for example we are reading about growers,layers,finishing etc, my corn supplier only has layers, just wondering is any type recommended? thansk guys

I seem to remember reading sometime ago a fancier using provit mixed with duperative and oils and it was decribed as homemade homeform?

Does anyone use Provit? if so what is your opinion off it?

How long prior to mating do you give them live yoghurt? and what type of live yoghurt do you use?

Aye. would also like some more info on the bull system. loft set up etc. but totally agree waste of space if bull cock was not proven as a flyer and producer
