Birthday cake my kids got me - incorporating one or two of my hobbies - LOL !!

I wouldn't buy young birds from an unknown source - they need to be from racing stock - if you get in touch with a local club - I am sure they will help you out or point you in the right direction

Yes but mac1 topped the fed - Annfield Plain I think he's reminiscing

Thank you George Thank you Harry

Good answer - I totally agree

Its had a bath and been in somewhere else as I have retrieved a soggy note tucked into his race rubber - illegible unfortunately Any idea where its from ?

Up North Combine Lillers (Last old bird race of the season) Birds liberated at 6.15am NE Wind

Put simply It is an antibiotic used for intestinal infections (salmonella, e-coli, streptococcus) and some respiratory infections

Good Luck to everyone competing

The Up North Combine have their last old bird race this weekend - from Lillers, 317 miles to me Sending about 15 - they will mainly be hens

If they perform TOO well - they won't get any recognition cos they aren't transferred - the Up North Combine checks with the various racing organisations to make sure bird belongs to flier - if it doesn't - thrown off result sheet - and this should happen with clubs as well, fanciers flying birds that don't officially belong to them Personally - if I was the breeder - I send the transfer forms in myself - it might cost a few pounds in the short term - but could save a fortune in the long term........

Youngsters are split about 10 days before the last old bird race Because the old birds are also split for racing - they are paired back together just before the last old bird race - and left together, so I have room to race the youngsters 'on roundabout'

'Funnily' enough I have had an e-coli AND streptococcus infection My treatment was - METRONIDAZOLE

If you have given your birds a full 400mg tablet of flagyl - I am surprised they are still alive They are not designed for pigeons (whoever told you that?) I personally would never give young birds a dose bigger than 50mg or old birds 100mg (but would give more than one dose)

I was talking to someone at Blackpool last year who remarked 'anyone can win a young bird race' Well it took me 6 years.........................so no meed to second guess my answer to the question

Not necessarily - the paper absorbs moisture - the polythene doesn't. Plastic bins some people find to be a problem - but that's all I've ever stored feed in

UP NORTH COMBINE Fontenay Birds liberated at 5.30am Melton Mowbray Groups 1, 4 & 6 Up at 7.30am Groups 2, 3 & 5 Up at 8.00am

If you go on pigeon chat - there is a fancier in Wales who helps to get Irish birds home

I would say vet opinion required - is the green tinge within the skin - or is there something that could be scraped off the skin - like fungus or a powder like substance for instance? At first I thought a bruise but on looking closer at the photo - am not so sure

Nice pup - and lofts (thanks for sharing )
