OLDYELLOW

Shame cant read it due to the caps and font

I can't give advice on treatments thats what vets are for , but should be using 10% Ronizole or a similar product ( this strength is perscription only ), testing is the best way to get the correct effective treatment also ventilation must also be correct to maintain good health

you can get them cheap from screw fix.com

It could be your treatment isnt strong enough , during the moult theres alot of dust from the feathers that could be the cause of the greecy wattles , and most over the counter treatments for canker are half the strength so hasent cleared the canker , moulting is a stresfull time for birds and canker can occur

Have a nice holiday

Condolences to the family at this sad time

very tidy boxes

back ops are very risky , glad to hear hes on the mend

Happy Birthday have a great day

alot of birds go down in the newly harvest fields when they get themselves right they head for home , or when there food source starts running down they return

wet , raining , dull and grey , beautiful weather indeed

My loft is 28 ft x 6 ft 2 x 6 ft sections and 2 x 8ft sections

brakkuis = are Sticklebault based birds as for bricoux they are in the Kirkpatrick strain of birds so i'd image they'd do well

will agree with those strains

Welcome all new members to Pigeon Basics , try a test post here

Well done to all involved , you are a credit to the sport

bit christmassy is that two toilet doves ??

nice bird Brian never had a kuif racer before nor wanted one , i'm not a lover of frills on racers either

In order to test any pair you need to try 3 rounds from 3 pairings if none are proven then remove , if a pair are proven it's best to split them try both to new pairings then pair back , then can see if its the cock or hen producing the winners

Be clean water , grit , pickstones plenty of linseed and more protein the rest be left to nature , any birds struggling in the moult will be removed

same here no damp never had any problems with chipboard , however wood surfaces harbour alot of bacteria eggs ectra and should be deep cleaned or torched during racing , if have a continuing cycle of bad health replacing box bottoms and floors is a good way to go and as i use the brackets its simple unscrew and flip over and good for a few more seasons mine are still in good nick and birds not ailed this year so should last a while longer yet

Cheers Freebird , these birds have been originaly bred to out fly falcons , alot of roller and other breeds are suffering from bop attacks , i believe these would make an ideal alternative , plenty of different colours could also be decoy birds when your racers are flying

large plant pot in corners with a couple of battons underneath , it naturaly gathers the feathers

had thunder and lightning most of the night very wet and windy now that must be an end to the summer now

Enjoy Alf drink plenty of Raki
