Got The Bid back it just went back to the guys loft so he basketed it up and we collected it from him now were only 2 down as the rest all returned

yeah theyve seen outside everyday since we've had them ones been reported in the loft behind us so hes letting it go tomorrow morning

Well today me and my dad came to the decision that the irish birds had to go out as they were really strong on the wing so , we let them have a bath before we let them out and they were doing fine until we tried to get them in the other birds came in straight away near enough , and when they were in the irish birds decided to take off and around 8 are still missing out of around 11 so my question is what do you reckon the chances of them returning are they are still around the loft but arent coming anywhere near the loft what do you guys think ?

well folks they did go for the chuck around a mile and a half to start and they all came back within the minute we let them out for an hour before the chuck got them in basketed them and took them, when they returned they stayed in the air for another half an hour and were ranging further than usual we took them around 6 to try and avoid the majority of the racing pigeons which thankfully we didnt loose one so they will be trained slowly and the distances will increase over time but all went well for the first chuck

As The Title says the first chuck for the certain birds which are ranging and stayin up for while them and only them are the ones which are really ready for a chuck so were taking them around a mile away from us to start and were guna repeat this for around 3 or 4 times them move then on to 4-5 miles what do you guys think ?

where are you located mate?

never trust a pigeon man :L ;D

when you say V/L do you mean versace laga? as we used this alredy

no one can help me here?

anyone?

lovely pigeon what ever colour it is

Right Few questions what is the best to feed and what time to feed the day before a race and just how do you guys prepare before a race and its for young birds i am enquiring about so help and examples would be great.

well there already out and have been ranging but were guna wait till around 3 weeks before the racing season for young birds start then were guna start training. (Y)

so i add these to the water ?? and how much to use though ? ?

any more ideas?

we were there for literally 15 mins he swabbed the two worse throats and came back within 10 mins and diagnosed the problem he was really good and we would definately go to him again as the birds seem to be perking up already but theres just one little blue which was a bit further on with the disease which has began to shove its head behind his body kind of thing but he is eating and drinking and flying by flying i mean within the loft as we have not let the birds out since they arrived from ireland as we have two other pigeon racers next to us, but as a precaution we removed him from the loft and put him in the spare shed any thoughts on if he could recover whilst being on the meds like the rest ?

Sorry I didnt reply guys went offline the medication he subscribed was cyberfloxin for 7 days then a day of normal food and water then start another 7 days on tromexin then introduce some pro-biotics to get the goodness back into the pigeon.

so should we remove the grit ? or shall we just put it in when there feeding and remove when we would remove the feed?

no he didnt and today they were goulping the grit down more than normal :/

cheers dave

yes they've been in darkness around a month or so now and they sometimes are gone for half and hour to an hour say today they were up for 20 min then landed and tokk off again for another 20 mand they did this all day.

we cant put them on anymore medication weve been told and there taking the medication alright through the drinkers but they are drinking excessively and are eating quite well to so :/

Our Birds Have Been flying for around 2 month now and recently have been ranging quite a distance away from the loft my question is when to start to train the birds as the loacal races start in july thanks.

Okay folks me and my dad have just got into this amazing sport this year and after arriving some birds from ireland from my uncle we developed a problem, these birds were infected with an e-coli problem which was determined by a professional pigeon vet, he gave us some medication which he said would cure it after around two weeks now theyve been on the medication 2 days so far and i was just wondering is there any other methods we could use to help with the process , we have some other young birds whihc we had from before the birds from ireland arrived and there spot on as they were vacinated for everything the moment we got them as were the irish birds but it was too late but any info will be a massive help i will post pics of the loft etc later on tonight advice would help alot here thanks
