  1. Most of the top flyers treat every year with the likes of parastop and only jab if they have signs of it, (well the top flyers in are fed anyway) I will be treating with altabactine and wont jab as i dont need to, Also you need to do the whole treatment not a day or two as it will become immune to the antibiotics just like with small doses of a virus we become immune
  2. It could be paratyhoid it can swell the testis and can leave lasting damage if not treated, the problems is when they dont have other symptoms,
  3. Worst thing you can do mate
  4. adenovirus or young bird sickness is a virus, there is no treatment for a virus (just prevention), What para stop keeps at bay is the 2nd infection, adenovirus (ybs) and e,coli all the time come at the same time, you can treat the bactirial infection but the pigeon has to fight the virus itself, you can treat with antibiotics and good loft hygine, I have just watched keep them healthy 2 where he gets opinions from about 4 vets, the best film i have ever seen
  5. Thanks for your thoughts,
  6. e.coli, salmonella, paratypoid ect,
  7. Just wanted to know what people thought of this product, and if you dont like it what better products have you used, Thanks
  8. I was given all my birds but 6 i bought in, a pigeon i won with a young bird off was ment for the bin and i saved it when no one else wanted it, also a second with a young bird off another that was ment for the bin, just coz others think they are no good they may win for you,, the best thing is to stay close to people that cant race but buy the best birds, if they dont win for them then they dont sell them, so you get good birds for free, That have good blood in them, a fella i met in chester, (salwin huxley) lucky when i as starting back up i took a stray to him, that year he was not breeding off his widowhood team so he gave me the lot, he didnt really no me. and along with the other tread( what the sport needs ) Its more fanciers like salwin
  9. I very much agree, all of the clubs on the wirral dont have a presentation night no more, me and a mate are trying to bring it back but no one cares, thats what we need, more fun and sense of achivement, i won the best club in the area and didnt get to have a drink with the lads, everyone just goes home :( >
  10. they do eat ya birds feathers, i have had loads this year. lavender keeps them at bay, dont know why but it does. They also eat clothing
  11. YOUR SO LOVABLE IT DOES NOT MATTER ;D ;D ;D ;D I dont know about that ;D ;D ;D
  12. if anyone says that a young lad posting should not, well they should not be in are sport, i bet you they will be that type of person that runs from club to club trying to be the best but never does, they hate people coming in to the sport coz they have more competion, but thats what its all about, makes me wonder why i bother in our sport when you always have people waiting to destroy it :( :B
  13. they are not a cheq and a dark cheq by any chance ;D
  14. Are you racing hens, and dont box the cocks
  15. Wot dia on the holes?
  16. Its not the feeders that make your birds bald on the neck, It is a type of mite, Looks well mate and will stop them chucking corn
  17. nice loft and birds, you could start a wedding dove realese business, :) very nice
  18. both cocks i would say :-/
  19. sorry to hear that, Its sad thats what the world is coming to, like you say, if kids came to my door i would take a bird out the widowhood loft for them, they just dont need to do this
  20. Good advise, but unless you wean all young over on the same day i would not inject for paramixo, your birds need to be away from others for atleast 14 days, if you dont wean them on the same day you will be incresing that period and giving your birds more of a chance of getting the virus, i wait untill all birds are in the loft and no more are going in, jmo
  21. I will jab the family when i do the birds ;D ;D ;D ;D
  22. I think Paratyphoid is on most corns now, it is from mice urinating on corn most of the time and for corn companys to stop that would be impossible, its not about the area its more about your loft, like do you leave the corn in for mice to get to it ect,
  23. CONGRATS AND ALL THE BEST
  24. 30 quid is 30 quid ;D we are in a recession ;D
  25. Thats the other para, paramyxovirus
