OLDYELLOW

early breeding i use it in the water but as soon as warmer i use on corn to get any effect of the live bacteria it should be used daily so idealy a few tablespoons on corn each day i also use lemon and brewers yeast to help it dfry better

pigeons dont sweat so they regulate there temperature by panting , however it could be the birds are over weight and canker can also have this effect

as most say a small amount of lemon juice live yoghurt on return from races , i used to use cod liver oil but needs refrigerating once opened and goes off ( rancid )quickly i prefer Groundnut oil in small amounts brewers yeast can be bought dry or in liquid forms it is a spent yeast so is inactive but full of vitamins and amino acids

sorry at your loss

Well done Jimmy

a few members on site from Aberdeen may be able to help

yes great stuff every vitamin your bird will need

Sorry been away for the weekend but if you forward me your details via pm ill try to get someone close to you to collect the bird

not sent due to high winds and possible rain hope improves fer next week

let people beleive what they want , even if your right you wont alter them , just do the gentlemanly thing and agree to disagree

yup advice spot on ensure you get the oil off the skin massage liquid in and keep rinsing id wrap up in a towel and sit on a semi warm hot watter bottle so doesnt preen itself also give a charcoal tablet to clean it out as may have ingested some

As said check BHW for liberations from lerwick over weekend and arrange fer a driver to take it to main land / liberate closer to home or meet them on way back

Best bet is check liberations for lerwick and arrange to get it to main land with one of wagon drivers

few back in club yesterday but very poor returns so far im awaiting result as yet but i imagine be only a few on it , yet another great channel race this year with a bad decision to liberate on the Sunday with rain on the coast just one hen to come so hopefully she wont be far behind , one more channel race and old birds be over , gone too fast this year

Preliminary result off pipa

might help if you add where your from to your profile then someone nearby or closer to you may help

Forget strains get as many old b.h.w from this year and read results and look at surrounding feds around you and approach the fanciers that are been consistant in them feds

first bird back was with ybs on garden just now hopefully his hen will turn up the better of the two birds imo

Rain and thunder moved out of France but it was in south of England and the wind was too strong club members have seen there first birds today , not had a good race from channel this season best one was first one and that was a smash

I think there are many reasons for yb losses (1) birds of prey (2) too many people training at same times so clashing (3) if trained with club mates would be more organised larger flocks going into same area safety in numbers which would reduce strikes (4) darkness system i feel these ybs in adult bodys are just that bodys developed but not there minds , i feel the earlier you breed the earlier they need to be trained but the darkness system wont allow it (5) alot of birds that should of been removed at weaning stage are allowed to mature , and weak breeding stock rearing weak birds (6) underlying ailment such as ecoli and canker and respirtitry well there my opinion on the high losses
