It may be tried and tested but that doesn,t make it the CORRECT way,and as for weather or not I would like to be vaccinated in the neck is nothing to do with how the pigeons are vaccinated CORRECTLY.

MANUFACTURERS ADVISE ALSO HIGHLIGHTED INJECT INTO THE LOWER BACK OF THE NECK.Why is it that some fanciers go against their advise when surely the Manufacturers are the correct people to listen to.

MANUFACTURERSS ADVISE DO NOT USE IN SICK PIGEONS.

Cant understand why anyone would give out information like this vet or no vet,or vaccinate more than once as this is going completly against the manufacturers advise.

Surely that,s how the rock dove evolved many years ago by not following nature.

If the birds already have PMV cant really see the point in Vaccinating them,surely it is a preventative not a cure.

Be interesting to know from people who have had YBS how they received their Vaccine and weather or not they discard the rest of the bottle after they open it.I will admit here that I do not It is kept in the fridge until I have the next batch of youngsters to vaccinate.Before anyone asks I have never had YBS.

Just had maybe a crazy thought,if we are receiving Vaccine which is maybe ruined through not being sent out at the correct temperature and using it to vaccinate our young birds could this be a reason for YBS,what do others think.

Been ordering Vaccine ever since we had to start using it sometimes had Colombovac others times Nobilis but never had any arrive in a cool pack in fact never knew that was the case,have Nobilis this time but doesn,t say anything on their instructions about transporting conditions.

Just interested to know where it states the correct conditions for vaccine to be sent out.

Not a 100 miles I know only 85 but i think it deserves a mention as this cock as been the only Fed winner I,ve had,Flying from Blandford in a very strong South West wind and being on the west side of the fed he had a Vel.of 2297 ypm,winning the Fed trophy for the highest winning Vel,which I believe he still holds.I,m sure Percy helped him home as there was no way he should have made a Vel. like that in that wind,hence his name is "PERCY,S PURSUIT".

Arrived home safe and sound around 2,snow and rain all the way from Blackpool to Great Malvern.Sorry for the ones that couldn,t make it hopefully see you all next year.

Think it would be the Stadons sale for me but as its on at the same time as the basic members get together I,m afraid I,ll have to give the sale a miss.
