Whereabouts are you bobtail. Someone might be able to recommend a good vet near you, sounds as if you’ve got to move fast on this one.

Herpes is a possibility

must be something major on the cards for you to give it as miss :X

How much does that sunshine cost a litre

The service John Tranter offers is second to none. There's a lot cheaper out there but you get what you pay for.

Reminds me of a pigeon sale I attended, out of the 20 or so lots 5 were said to have damaged a wing due to hitting wires!!! I had my own suspicions.

10 different people would more than likely give you 10 different answers on this. Myself I give them multivits after one meal a week during racing generally on a Monday or Tuesday. During the off season twice a week when going through the moult also twice a week during a cold damp spell, other than that once a week.

No links that I'm aware of. You can buy it through the Pigeon Pharmacy that advertises in the Homing World, they normally have a full page spread.

Composition: Vits A,B2,B6,B12,C,D3,E,K3 & Nicotinic Acid & Calcium-D-Pantothenate.

lol £3.95 for 150g pack which makes up 200 litres

Yes its a multi-vitamin. Its the only one I use, cheap as chips as well.

I would ask if its true that a vaccine used on chickens for EDS is also effective against YBS in pigeons.

I change mine twice a year. The w/hood loft after breeding then again after the moult, the youngbird loft (darkness) after moults.

My club have been discussing same. We're working along the lines of paying £1 a week throughout the racing season. Two screens will be done, one prior to oldbird racing the other prior to youngbirds.

Very little once the youngbirds start to perch up, I rake mine over once a week.
