when i get a odd bird thats sick i dispose of it immediatly i have moved with the times abit and i use miltons sterilizer in the water and twice a week use a drop of cider vinegar but that is it and i have to vaccinate once a yr thats law tbh if i thought there was something really amiss in the loft i would send droppings away and treat as prescribed but as for adding bottles of this and that to water and feed no way would i waste my money on it. ive never had this yb sickness i dont clean them out from time there weaned into there loft till after yb racing finished which is a bit earlier for me as i only race till the national with the bicc all yb hens go to national thats when i split up so they can settle into the moult . nope not many sick birds been here long

what i was tryin to say strapper was back then there was not all these medications there is now and in my view the pigeons had a stronger constitution than they have now without the use of medications. yrs ago a pregnant woman was told to eat eggs and and basically what they want but now there told dont eat this and that but does it make babies any stronger or better the answer no . a pigeon with a strong immune system and constitution will breed strong pigeons without the use of medications which can and used blindly cost a fortune and completly ruin a pigeons immune system and constitution jmo for what its worth just to add maybe its because im old school had pigeons since i was 6 and i would say ive prob only has about 10 sick birds in 45 yrs in pigeons im not gonna change now and start reachin for potions and lotions now.

stripp the front of ur loft off and mesh it but put a big overhang on ur roof to stop alot of rain gettin in plenty of air

never seemed to have all the diseases back in the sixties and seventys when i first started all they used to get was tic beans when my dad could afford them or corn and barley i got from the docks (lol nicked from silos) fresh water and grit in 10 yrs only had 1 bird go down sick which was disposed of straight away . we never had all these forien imports that i feel have been propped up with all these so called medications and do we really know if they actually work . obviously we feed better grains now but mainly i still just good fresh clean water clean feed and fresh grit and weed out any sickly birds which i havent had many . i dont clean out every day as i believe very strongly in natural immunity and plenty of fresh air they survive perfectly well in the wild without bein locked up in closed lofts. jmo but i feel there is much to much medicatin goin on its gettin time for fanciers i feel to start going back to basics ie if they sick dispose of them and let the birds get there immune system to work. i know alot of u are not going to agree i dont want to start ne arguments as ive said its jmo of how i see the sport declining as in any new starters get told treat for this and treat for that and that puts them off right from the word go as alot cannot afford all these medications jmo

merry xmas to all on pb mods and members and hope we all have big winners in 2010 8)
