  1. one of my racing hens broke her keel bone last year it set with a piece of bone sticking out and the skin grew over it but every egg she sat on broke so to day i put her in side a sock and cut her open chipped the piece of bone off sowed her up and gave her some antibiotic she was out flying an hour later no problem hope it will solve the broken eggs
  2. you said it m8 cranks and when they say avian they mean chicken lol
  3. agree gulkie some i did not splint set at an angle and the birds leg was twisted or a big lump where the bone fused on top of bone best to splint or my way even easyer sets like a stookie the english boys will not know what that is lol
  4. the maff over rule any vets jam and thats the way we were told to do it by maff every bird in club at the same time and when it was done that way there was no youngbird sickness is what im saying this virus is being kept alive by people all jagging at differnt times and like i said if you need to jag twiced there is somthing wrong with the vaccine and 99 percent of vets no nothing of pigeons m8 dont let anyone kid you the vaccine is causing the problem i dont know why but i know what it does when not used in the correct manner
  5. you will not see much difference in your old birds john as they are not under the stress of training or racing but it will attack them some worse than others they will go on a wee downer but are ok in about ten days or so diff story if you try to race them m8 also what your old birds get off them can reinfect the birds you have just jagged and they dont recover hope im wrong for your yb sake m8
  6. first time id been in it alan what threw me off was the was the name its not smileys its spelled smellie lol
  7. gordons is onlt 99 pence a pkt alan surely a kilo would go off be fore you used it m8
  8. simpless way to mend a broken leg is to cut some kitchen roll into a 1 inch strip then cover the strip with the white of an egg and rap it around the break it sets hard in minutes then just cut it off in 10 days works a treat to remove just soak in warm water
  9. no one will put there prices down untill they sell the stuff they paid top price for alan i went into smellies today and got 25 kilo bags of wheat at 7 50 a bag and ordered 25 kilo bags of barley at 5 50 a bag on strathaven road just before gordons
  10. if thats the case it means the vaccine is not doing what its suppose to and thats protect the bird for 12 months what is not sinking in with some guys is this is not a cure it only helps the birds fight it off the vaccine is not the problem its the way its being used incorrectly thats giving us all a problem if it was reported to the maff how this vaccine is being used they would stop us from racing why do you think they print on there leaflets that you get with it birds should be kept in for 14 days after vaccination because if you dont your birds are spreading the virus every where in and around your loft and the more often you jag the more often you expose them to this virus it does not matter how many times you jag them it does not stop the virus attacking every bird in the loft every time one bird is exposed to it the cycle will never be broken untill we go back to vaccinating the way we were taught to by the maff and that is all birds in all clubs vaccinated at the same time then the vaccine runs its course and after the 14 days its dead every where untill some muppet thinks they know better and jags a few and it all starts up again stick to the way the maff showed us to do it and this problem will go away no more young bird sickness imo and ill say no more
  11. dell i aree with you 100 percent m8 the problem is every one has to do the same and at the same time of year or your birds will get it from the vacinated birds as soon as they come into contact with them training racing showing or a stray in or on your loft thats why i say jag all or take the chance and jag none
  12. wrong way to do it m8 trust me if you want to jag them again after six weeks fine but you have to do all again as you are bringing the virus back into your loft again when you re vacinate and it will attack all old birds stock birds the lot
  13. dont know how many times ive said this on here if you jag one you must jag them all and when training and racing starts jag nothing again till seasons over jagging is givng the birds the virus i have no dout about it now
  14. payed 9 50 for a bag here last week and gibb of galston prices still very high greedy grain merchants so shop around lads

  23. there nearly all prisoner stock m8 if they got out id be heart broken and 3 grand out of pocket no if i let them go they will be sold ive all ready gave some to a pal not sure if im doing the right thing yet
  24. one of my bigest problems is far to many stock cocks that i paid big money for and have all bred me first prize winners but are getting on in years now and i have sons and daughters off them breeding winners and would like to breed more off the younger stock which are not getting a chance to shine be cause there old man is still breeding the goods and the very best of the old jan aarden blood that i paid 500 and 600 pounds each for dbl grandsons of invincible spirit debarceloana smarged one and two you just cant get this blood anymore that breed winners and breeders of winners it pains me to think of it but i might have to let some go to make way for there sons to take over in the stock loft so have to think about it apart from that its try and do everything the same as last year and stay out of hospital which buggerd up my young bird season as i could not get them worked intime for racing and by the time i caught up the season was over its amazing how much 2 or three weeks out can set you back in the doo game
