i use coli-killer twice a week sundays and wednesday on bottle it say the end of coli and young bird sickness 2 days a week sundays and wednesday 1ml to 2 litres water theres also a article about it in bhw. hope this helps think it cost about 10 or 12 quid.
i got some and was adviced by the seller to put 1 drop up each nostril birds hated it and as said above not one bit of snot and it affected there performance that week so its in the bin now(the product not the bird)cost £6.99 and its basicly just olbas oil or vix. might try hanging a hanky in loft each week with just a drop olbas oil on it. it'll be cheaper.
sun 09 1326 made its way home tonight got back from basketing for race and it was clinging on loft door it let me pick it straight up and it was also full of food and water and in good condition so im thinking someone has tryed to settle it and it returned home or some very nice person has nursed it back to health and sent it on its way. if the latter is true thanks :) :) ps sorry for bring up old thread but wasn't sure where to post this.
went to his first race last friday was biggest bird in club on day. 15 min behind clubs first bird but im giving him all the time he needs because the lad who bred him says hes for the water so maybe he'll come into his own later on.
i did it to day in 2s but thats cos ive only got 2 hens and 2 cocks and the hens got back better than they've ever done. when they were gettin trained with pals birds they took longer as they play about with them before coming home as he only lives down the street.
