What aload of Crap Linda Brookes should spend a week with a fanciers thats getting attacked by bops , trial not even run fer a year baterys last 9 days this study on the face of it must of been headed by Chuckle Brothers with several 3 year olds kids in data control , beyond a joke and back to square one , no-one gives a dam about a few pet pigeons wether there racing or otherwise , use as many deterents as you want guys the only way to fight any war is to stand up and be counted , my birds are my lifestock , lifestock can be classified as food , the bop is a theif , minum for steeling another mans food is 12 months however ill be the judge and jury and determine the bops sentance

saw dust from a Saw mill can contain desil / oil depending how they process the wood , i would imagine as these are safe for horses should be fine for birds its the build up of amonia if the dropping dont dry quick enough , adding lime helps

freezer ice cube bags add a few to drinker each time alternative is mix with cider vinegar , but prefer them frozen

i went back to just the loft white

Hi New members introduce yourselfs here Welcome to Pigeon Basics You've signed up but can't post ???? This is probably due to your membership not having been validated. When you signed up you should have received an email with a link to click on - this is the validation process. Sometimes this email gets swallowed up by an over eager spam filter. So check your Junk mail folder, or Spam folder on your email account. If you can't find the email, or think you typed your email address incorrectly, just send me an email at forum@pigeonbasics.com and I'll manually validate your account, and amend your email address if needs be. You've forgotten your username/password First thing first, if you can't remember your username (or not sure you've got it right) you can enter the email address you signed up with in the username box, and providing you've got your password right you'll be signed in as normal. If you've forgotten your password, if you click the Forgotten Password link by the login box you will be asked to fill in your email address. Make sure its the same email address that is associated with your account. You will then receive an email that contains a special link that will enable you to reset your password. Once again, if you don't get this email, check your Junk or Spam folders, and if you still have problems email me at forum@pigeonbasics.com. Whatever the circumstance don't try and sign up again. This only causes more confusion, as you will have to have a completely new email address, and the crossover of usernames and passwords causes problems later down the line. Anyhow, having multiple member accounts (without a pre-approved valid reason) is against our rules.

any good fer pigeons ?????? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D will have to start calling you Nigella :K)

any chance you two could get together and give ginge a few pointers ?

im going to try there blood red maize durring racing

i use carrot juice that i juice myself to take fat off the birds and mix the pulp in with the corn which they eat

i knew a fancier that did this and swore by it however as we all know any goodness or vitamin benifit would be gone in the boiling process

if sound crackly then you'l need to treat , it sounds like your birds have ample room and it maybe the bedding giving off toxic fumes which will poison the birds or ventilation needs improving perhaps a few photos of yer loft and dusting the deep litter with lime will help dry droppings quicker and remove the amonnia from the loft

sounds like respiratry youve got air going straight through and not in at bottom of front of loft ? if you put you ear under wing you can here its lungs inflate deflate and you'l get a rough idea if alls not well when did you change your bedding ? is there any ammonia smell in the loft ?

its usualy a vitamin deficency along with a draught dont have draughts and ensure you suply vitamins , one eye cold can sometimes get confused with Hexamitiasis

heres a good site for you to look at pigeon ailments , a good avian vet is worth there weight in gold and you should seek one out in your area so can regulary test your birds to help maintain there health : http://www.chevita.com/en/pigeons/symptoms/index.php

as pms are working and issues have been resolved i shall now lock this topic , many thanks for your cooperation and understanding whilst these problems were being resolved Regards Mark

it could well be respiritary althought its treatable the only way to get rid is to ensure your loft has good ventilation and is not over crowded when did you canker last ?

could be dust , normal preening , canker , one eye cold , a draught, but without knowing or seeing your loft then very hard to get every aspect taken into consideration

could be many things or nothing if you could take a photo of its eye then perhaps we could help sort it out for you

nice loft may you have many winners to it

kirk the pms system canae take it ( scotty ) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
