Race 'em hard, and any that are suseptable to respiratory will soon be gone. You'll end up with better birds, no need to treat.

Best o' luck Hyacinth. Warwichire birds are as good as any in the world.

Hey Tammy hope you're right cos some of us want to test our pigeons not just take the easy way out

This virus will come back so what are you going to do if we don't get to France. Every body seems to think we will go at somepoint. Can someone tell me why. Yes I'd like to go Tarbes etc, but realisticaly, this year?

I think only good distance birds can be turned. Sprinters and lesser birds, drop like flies. When I park my truck in the morning I don' have to tell 'em which way is home.

Warwickshire fed at Yelverton just short of 180mls to me. First race propper NRCC Perth next week, 294mls. All been well trained on line. Any line you care to choose. LOL

Canker and cocci counts rise in damp conditions, yoghurt will acidify the gut and reduce canker and cocci counts also e-coli as will lemon juice or cider vinegar (my choice)

Colin Walker is the man, He advices to treat ; week 1 worms week 2 cancker week 3 cocci, On a four week cycle. However there is a new wormer from Chevita that will treat all three. Colin would advise to treat these three and nothing else. Chevita's ascapilla. is available from body & ridewood on line at www.everythingforpets.com. Rather than buy more birds buy his book you will keep 'em healthy then

Can't help Hyacinth but, contrary to what Ben says. I think tiz good to have the memorial of war animals. Just shows that we should pay more respect to 'em. Tell ya what though it'd be a bloody brave dog to run over Park Lane to pee on it. LOL..........

Seen babbies feed one another before had it this year aswell. All weaned together. Funniest thing I've seen is when you wean 'em from stock pen, put 'em in young bird pen, never seen outside. Then they just casualy wander off to the stock pen. That I do find amazing

David. Here in Warwickshire it started raining yesterday late morning and it has virtualy stayed here since. As for turning 'em. Turn 'em by all means, just train the same way as usual

Make sure his hen is still about, you still may get him. They will just go off the top, if you upset 'em but not often

Well done jimmy.Great story Hyacinth

duramitex will get rid of moths and flys

So what you gonna do if we don't go to France this year or next.

Like shadow I don't believe in "Pure" or "Strain" Family maybee

2nd sec 20th MNFC old hens with a latebred last year 1978 won Thurso with 2yr old latebred

I certainly feel I do my bit. I get home from collecting birds for the fed friday night at about midnight. Then I'm at work for 5 am Saturday. I put the work in, but you just can never tell which way things are going to turn. In the present climate you just don't know how things will change. I can't help but think if you attend meetings surely you must come out and think I wonder how they came to that conclusion. I do have my say but I have to accept the majority decission too. I don't always get my own way but I do put in the work.

All sounds good but I wouldn't go for so many birds. Less birds and plenty of observation.

Fifer. Tiz true, this sport of ours does seem to follow a strange and twisty road. Sticking to the rule book doesn't always get the right results either. If someone can explain to me how the NFC can publish a north rd program. On the strength of which, I paid for my son to join. Then promptly do an about turn. Having taken my money. In principal I should be offerd my money back. Only there's no rules been broken.

Buy something cheap mate we gotta have electronic timing soon

Got check w/f hen, flown out, looks like a stock bird, no rings. no lice or mites either

Two wings two eyes, first through the trap will do me. Bugger the theories.

Hi Ted I dunno if it's anygood but we used it last year, and it was our best year.
