Sorry to hear that derek Bad news

How would you address the problem?

Dont you think its the buyers from the far east in particular the chinese that are pushing up the prices.Ive watched many of these auctions on pipa where the pigeons are sitting at( expensive prices) until the last moments and in come the chinese with there astranomical bids and hoover everything up.So in order to compete with these far eastern buyers people with money are going head to head with them which results in a crazy bidding frenzy.

Do you know how much he charges,and what he would test for? The normal is cocci worms and salmonella can they test for anything else through the droppings these days?

I am thinking about getting the droppings tested any suggestions as to who to send them to? I tried Tom Pennicott at Auchincruive last year i think it was around £17.50 was thinking of trying someone else this time as i am not a believer in treating blind these days.

I Think Jone van Hood might do the trick

I dont blame you

Did you manage to get a couple of pair?

You dont know how lucky you are it was -14 here last week.We are having a heatwave at the moment its - 5.

What vet to you use for dropping testing?

Yes i think you are right but there was also a family he had called the Montrose family which got taken off the market for reasons similar to the bionic dordins.Maybe someone else can help here.I remember jim cullen saying to matt mullen who bought one from montrose combine leader that he should ask for his money back from massarella but that never happened.

No no i had just left approved school.I know Matt Mullen bought a son of workman in the late seventies and a daughter of a Pigeon called Montrose combine leader,these montrose pigeons were taken off the market by massarella due to accusations of cheating by the guy that raced them i think??Matt mullen won with these workman pigeons in the club and Lanarkshire fed but matt mullen was a great motivator of a pigeon and seemed to be able to win with anything at that time.

Aw well it must have fell into the 98% category.

Was the doo worth it and did it leave anything?

theres a big difference from the roof of the mouth.Hes asking about the back of the throat.

Diptheria.The bird is over it when the spots appear.

I know someone that bought six beautifull black splashed mealy cocks and hens to go with them of the biozards family from louella.The truth is they couldnae fly over the roof of the house they all went into the garden after trying with them for a few years.I spoke to him last week and he still talks about how dissapointing they pigeons were.Just the way the ball bounces i suppose, i think most of us have done it at some time.

Jurgen ross i think

Can you tell us which Antibiotic you are using?

Has this been mentioned before???

ITs always tougher in the west same for the doos

Roads are a disgrace left my car three mile away and had to walk home not a gritter in sight.

Yep read it before great results from a great doo man.!

R u sure it wisnae a Kestrel?

Big cammys doos were getting out regular so they were relativley fit so they would be flying about for a while advertising themselfs to the predator.I think the secret is not to have them in the sky for too long at this time of year.
