[Guest]

At the moment, they get garlic for a day then cider vinegar for a day then Orego Stim and Probiotics on the 3rd day and then the same cycle repeated, to keep them healthy.

[Guest]

What do you think of Orego Stim? Sbelbin,

[Mike Lycett]

Speight

 

As much tap water as I can get in the drinker & as often as possible too!

 

[Guest]

Craig, the orego stim seems to be keeping them healthy, but it says on the tub that it need to be given every day, which would require you to buy a few tubs a year, so it would start to work too expensive.

[Guest]

Sbelbin, we use Orego stim every day,  It's a good stuff......

[Guest]

Tap water 5 days, crushed fresh garlic 2 days (currently Sat & Sun).

[Guest]

Was toying with honey & garlic in the drinking water on race days.

 

See you're using honey, Snowy, wondered if you had any preference on type?

 

Had clocked-onto the clear, golden-coloured variety, but haven't checked out whats available yet. Any comments on best / best use, folks?

[Guest slugmonkey]

I was giving honey on race days didnt notice any diffrence though

[snowy]

bruno,

yes read a bit on honey on a few sites, say it gives them more energy which you should notice the following day, so i would give the day before a race, and generally good for them,

im using the natural honey with nothing added whats so ever, its not exactly clear, but not as cloudy as some, its more clearer at the top,

its supposed to be straight from the comb

[carl]

Put honey in with my garlic & cider vinegar before they go and when they come back from race

 

 

Hi rose just wondering what day do you give them honey/garlic and cider vinegar before they go to race.

 

last year i added honey and sea salt to the drinkers on return of the birds but never noticed any change,this year i with stick with electrolights
