i think the councils help to find areas to release , the R.S.P.B release the birds so which one do you sue ? the building owner the R.S.P.B , the breeder of the bird , and how do you prove the birds actualy wild or not , most wild birds are rung on the nest , captive birds are supposed to be rung as well , so there lies the next problem proof and the only way to get that is to capture the bird thats attacking your birds and you would be prosicuted as you wouldnt have a licience to do so , so what next you ask R.S.P.B to capture the bird ? , i cant see that happening they would put it down to nature and one species is a preditor and the other ( pigeon ) nothing more than prey

no thats lady boys from bangkok ;D ;D ;D ;D

there in red now

dint send me one ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D musty of known im a tight yorkie ;D ;D ;D :X

yup defo a scan think the account needs banning

im just giving my experience of hempcore i keep it dry

im scraping once a day at the moment but as soon as snow falls they'll be back on the deep litter

if gets too heavy you will have the ammonia hence i sprinkle bianco on top and keep turning it / moving it about

i sprinkle my deep litter with bianco so it remains dry , your litter is damp and not getting air into it hence the ammonia

and i tried to talk one member from leaving and assisted in him coming back to the site no-one wants to see anyone leave

all would depend on what i intended to do with it , if wanting to bull your hens with one cock id buy the cock , but id want to know if the parents were in a single flight so parentage could be guarenteed firstly , as they say mothers baby daddys maybe

im sure if someones truely made there minds up to leave that they have not made that decision lightly and as an adult they have that right , the site would have to accept the users decision we cant make people join / or stay if its against there own will

he asked a question i did answer his question , also suggested that he could take time out rather than remove himself

never tried it , but im sure a few in the past have done so , if thinking of leaving site might be an idea just to have time out for a while , it can help

click on user name then click remove user

theres a few about redfoxkrauths has at least one , fen lofts have one a cross Van Braune x Fabry won a race for fen lofts kirky will rember

the westcotes are an old Ipswitch strain , DaveFisher and paul woollis both site members have a few of these i believe , dave been originaly from Ipswitch

thought you were younger Phil , did you have a hard paper round

i have used it for a while but after pairing up i removed it , am planning to put in for winter then remove it when weather gets better adding water makes it swell i think , i think this is for horses and keeps it from blowing about , i havent tried it wet drys good enough for me i sprinkle lime on top every other day and keep turning it , saves work for winter when daylight and good weathers in short supply

nice red hen

thats not what the vet says in the link above , it just exposes more birds to the paratyphoid

high doses of canker and cocci and ecoili can be treated effectively and birds can go on to win i have no doubt about this , sometimes weak birds are more subceptable to illnesses as lack a good constitution ( thats the ability to fight diseases via there immune system ) , its usualy these birds that get ill first and spread disease to the rest of the collony / flock , if these weak birds are removed earlier then the likelyhood of further diseases speading is reduced

you must of caught it in its early stages before it caused joint damage , lots of healthy birds are rubbish one is that they arent up to the job in the first place and lack brains not physical health

the link is an intresting read , seems to me that if you treat/vacinate it itself is a waiste of time for the following reasons 1 the live vaccine is the best treatment , and if you treat them more birds may be infected with the disease , 2 if a live vaccine is used then the live infection is shed via the dropings making more birds exposed to paratyphoid , so using this vaccine when birds not ailing could set any loft further back by further exposing more birds to paratyhoid , so in my mind theres the answer people treating for this are doing more to make this disease stronger and there birds immune systems weaker by treating healthy birds , i have never had to treat for paratyphoid and hope never have to , regular screening of your birds and removing weak birds will limit the risks of most diseases in any loft , nature does this by natural sellection and only the strongest and the fitest survive in the wild , in a pigeon loft any sign of weakness then these birds should be removed and not continuously proped up with medication , birds that ail always fail
