  1. pmv vaccine does nothing to stop your birds getting it weather u jab them at 2 days old or 3 months old thats fact if anything i would say it does the oppisite waste of money but we have to do it as the law says just waiting for the bird flu vacine to come out now so they can rob us some more

  12. im afraid its all to easy to cover the use of drugs if someone is using drugs all they have to do is use catosal a drug which is high in demand in foreign countrys is epo masked with catosal no trace no matter wat the rpra do there allways be 1 step a head i really cant see the point of it racing for wat we race for over here but some people will do it just to win a fed these days i dont think we should kid ourselves that it dont happen because it does
  13. mine go in the van training but wouldnt go with other peoples birds again so just my own
  14. before racing starts young birds 2 weeks from racing will go 65 miles 80 miles 120 miles then drop bk to 65 which is huntingdon weather permiting of course week of racing will be 80 miles 80 miles 80 miles 65 miles then friday rest ready for basket
  15. if it is streppicocci bovis treatment is either amoxcillian or ampicillian nothing else will touch it u be surprised that how many lofts have it at the moment when i say its rife i really do mean that best get a dead bird to vets for post mortem to no for sure and ask wat treatment while birds being tested to be on safe side baytrill and sulfurs will do nothing just make it worse
  16. and thats in 24 to 48 hours that birds are effected
  17. streppticocci bovis i bet its rife drink a lot of water droppings go from mush to water and a lot of it then slime green birds weight falls off in no time they start to hunch then drop dead

  23. i remember a few years ago i had this little blue cock bird i sent him to peterborough only 81 miles to me and he topped it i carried on sending him he was there most weeks then thurso came along i thought shall i send him or not so i decided to send him it turned out a awfull race held in the crate for something like 7 nights he still came home to top club be well up in fed and combine but after that was never the same bird
  24. i have tried louella vanreets my cousin bought them the first year he got them at louella he was breeding babys out the babys he had just brought in .my cousin bought 6 which cost fair few pound at time they only let him buy them as he had spent thousands on that day with them i still got 1 of the daughters from 1 of the originals that were bought she is from bang vale but have tried a few since but to no avail they have never met the grade
  25. vanreets do 500 miles with ease its the way u feed them 3 years ago i went to thurso 516 miles about 50 odd birds in club i took the first 11 had about 6 in combine result some well up in result aswell no other birds clocked in race time in club other clubs were still being won the hext day in the afternoon birds went bk year after ended up 9th open if i can remember right. this year although a touch behind i sent 26 to thurso having 16 on day rest next morning bar 2 never seen them since yet they flew it 6 times between themselves
