we all talk about over medication of our birds and the effect on the immune system what does continuos vaccination do does it cause any damage and is this the reason 4 yearly vaccs?
breed & wean +beans onto yb no maize + beans onto v/l sublime week b4 we start training + a few beans
1st 2 races as much as they want night b4 basketing verry lite feed fri.morning
winners come in all shapes and size's the look of the pigeon
feathering, balance a bright eye, and i look at the performance in racing and breeding of the bird itself or the parents
and the honesty of the man selling them
tottally know where you coming from owen and i agree with you but most vets know less than a lot of good fanciers personally i use a very good fancier near to use and like you and others on pb offer sound advice and testing and in my opinion knows more than the 3 vets practices in our area JMO

::)a good and interesting thread I agree that best goes to best but surely there comes a time when you must introduce new blood to retain vitality in your loft how do you do this do you buy a close relative off a champion racer/breeder or purchase the champion itself and what would you consider the best cock or hen?
owen s right best to best is not exactly winner to winner(thts if i'm reading this right) a nst mate maybe bred and not race so well as its nestmate but IMO this bird carrys the same winning genes so why not put it to stock and try it maybe thats why the brother or sister becomes a prolific breeder :)
