yea, Paratyphoid injections are not compulsary, if you have not treated before for Paratyphoid i would just treat with para-stop then if they stop responding after a couple of years then jab

Paratyphoid injections after the moult but atleast 1 month before breeding, paramyxovirus i would do them now and keep them away from the others for 14 days and jab all of them before racing next year, including the latebred young, thats what i would do, some people jab twice a yer anyway so it will do no harm, hope this helps

not sending my young hens too the bitter end, now i have to keep extra for next year as i dont want to cull birds that have done nowt wrong, and will be on the dark too

if you know who owns the cat, dig it up and return it to them ;D ;D ;D i just lobe it back over next door, it normally from there cat

All the best mate,

thanks lads, all good advise, i had i my mind to race the spare hens in the young bird loft, the thing is they are all good hens, if i race my widow hens i can use the selabate hens if i lose any, thanks again

How do you sort out your hens, i had 24 hens and managed to get them down to 18 but still need to get rid of 5, all good hens and well bred, i dont race hens so no way to judge the very best out of them, would be interesting to see how everyone else pulls there hair out with this one ;D

A bird that i was not going to race i would, i culled the best bird i my loft just weeks ago, as i dont have room for stock and i new that it would not race next year, so it had no place, i am not saying that it is the best way for you to go but its my way, I dont even no that it will effect the moult :-/

i wont treat in the moult as Dr van de sluis advise not to treat for paratypoid (dont know how to spell it)in the molt he says it effects the proper growth, amoxicillin does they same so i would stay away from it, i know that it is just a penacillin for bacterial infection, but thats just me, i dont know if it would effect it, The thing is, if my birds mess up on the molt they cant get another chance due to room, so they have to go anyway

i would not have them on that in the moult, jmo

true i do it myself, and the fed sec texts me when they are up

We all agree that it cost too much, as at the end of the day it’s just a answer machine Wot I suggest is that when the club sec is informed they record it on the machine of a cheap mobile, then it cost 10p instead of 1.50

A fella by mine wont move out coz they wont give him a good enough offer, his is the only house standing and has been for about 2 years, he just wont go

I am doing that on the inside so i have thebest of both worlds,

Thanks for your comments, ;-)

in a tent under the pier if it keeps going the way it has for me ;D

me and my son leon, leon again, and the mrs stacy

3 pound for the rails from B & Q, they are for plaster board

my new young bird loft, 9x6 with sliding windows to keep the rain and wind out when needed, and the last one is a before picture, hope you like there is traps for ETS on the roof to get in to the cocks section and the young birds

welcome to the site, nice big setup for a new starter, good luck for when you race, if you do :-/

I am in the same boat, they all said that i could not and would not win to this location, that i would need a miracle, they said only in east winds, and only at a big distance, The first young bird race (70 mile) I WON in a north west wind, 1st and 2nd, the are now callled mrs and miss miracle ;D ;D ;D

couldn't help myself ;D ;D :B

I had it when i first moved in but no one would own up to it, blameing the birds for crapping on the washing, at the time i only had babies that could not fly and had never been out ;D

That owened a building firm till last month
