Bump

Funnily enough just bought and gave this to my birds this week ,first time i have used this in years.

Morning all hope everyone is well.

How about coccidiosis ? drinking a lot of water wet droppings same sort of signs.

I use saw dust /wood chips but only in boxes .I have plastic grids on the floor .we clean out once a week roughly and when doing this saw dust thrown into boxes only then.

Morning everyone.

Hopefully this club thats being formed will not split the Fed ,it might lessen birdage slightly but as far as i am aware Buckie ,Elgin members got cleaned out early on and Inverness well are they in our fed .I personally had one young bird race and lost half my team ( i only started with 24 ) all trained out tae 25 mile but bang they are gone .So what happens we do the same again next year ???? ,well i for one dont blame them looking for some thing new ! perhaps the Fed should have been looking into some thing similar ,just my thoughts on the subject.

Good morning fowks.

Good morning all here

Feeding more barley ,garlic in the water ,i have made up some Barley + brewers yeast + a few drops of aniseed oil and cooking oil just to make things mix will give them this tomorrow morning when dried up a bit .I dont make a habit of such treatment but its just to give the vitamins a boost ,moulting is a natural thing for your birds so its not some thing IMO that the fancier can improve upon .

Elderberry Wine thats what they are good for tae hell with the doos LOL ,dinna drink but made some of this at one time.

Where would you be starting your pick up of doos from,its a good idea though i will be watching with interest.Good luck with this.

I am feeding a bit of barley this year 55 doos in shed ,feed 32oz barley morning 48oz protien economy in the evening, garlic in the water ,i have noticed birds are not getting heavy and they are moulting out fine .

Great forward thinking idea well done .IMO though the SHU should be contributing to the cost of this and possibly FED .Its only a week or two ago that fowk were on here bemoaning all aspects of losses of young birds i would also include old birds .Going down this route suggested it would give us some insight to where the birds go .

Is this genuine i have just received a email with regards to this any more out there got one,maybe phone shu.

As we know up here North of Scotland Fed has been having the same probs as those South of Glasgow ,dont get it into your heads that the density of birds of prey are less of a problem here than it is with you lads .I live in Turriff in the last 2 years we have had a peregrine visiting our locality used to be Sparrow Hawk being the problem .Losses regardless of predators ,sickness ,atmospherics its going on up here as well ,the solution , cure ,answer christ knows .

Well done Gogs good result for you ,well done to everyone else that took part .

Was J Duthie doos still then influenced with Buschearts ?.

Well done Andy ,and all that took part.

Ryan and Gogs and myself were i am sure only to glad to help ,I was very delighted to see the enthusiasm and knowledge your little lassie had of this hobby she has taken up,best of luck and more importantly fun you get from it .

Well done to all getting a doo ready for this distance is a great achievement and getting it home great performance you deserve all respect.

I am afraid i have to agree sh-t races from Brechin for the last 3 years ,i dont breed and keep a lots of youngsters I started tossin 26 lost one of the roof so the rest 25 had 10 tosses up to 4 x 25 mile .Discovered hadnt ets ring for 1 so 24 went to Brechin 2 how many home i am sorry to say 9 / of 24 and half of them are buggered.I am fair fed up .

Good morning to you all.

Well done Alec & Hally ,well done also to all on the results.
