treated or not

[DAVE W]

just thought it would be interesting to see what your hatch /full eggs etc are

and if it has made any differance pre treating for parthipoid

We always treat after the last race.The stock pigeons have 98% hatch rate and pairing our racers up last Sat 16- 17 pairs have now laid.

Frank i hope you did not treat them to late.We have treated in Mid-Jan before pairing up and our hatching success rate was well below 50%.

yes very similar here treated before they are paired after the moult

ive only had 1 clear egg and 1 dead y/b which was frozen baside the nest

ive a good team of nice healthy y/bs

 

the reason i posted this was that a lot are blaming the weather for thier bad hatches etc

ive had a good one with quite an open loft and some of the worst weather

Hi Andy,

treated in october been no problems since then i never jagged but might next year

[budgie]

If joints have been affected i cant see them ever being able to race again and the youngsters in the nest by the time they are 2yrs old will also go down.

[ritchie1]

not treated but good hatching up till now

[gingell]

treated para nov not lost any young all very good health think if you good loft managment birds healthy cold weather dont effect them. ;)this is only my opinion. :)

I had one squashed egg and no non-hatchers. Had one YB die in nest. Fingers crossed fro the rest of the breeding.

 

Have never treated for para and doubt i ever will apart from dusty bin.

[Guest stb-]

to early for me ask at begining of april

[weecunny]

no treated and so far most have hatched

[Flyer]

started parastop(liquid) 3rd Nov finished 15th Nov followed by 3 days multi vits. paired all birds (17 stock pairs and 16 pairs racers) on the 26th dec. all pairs by the 7th jan had laid. 16th Jan floated stock eggs to race birds. had 2 clear eggs from 2 stock pairs all other eggs where full. racers all full. hatched rate 100%. lost 2 chicks at 6 day old, wrong hen bird in box and killed them (Won't happen again).stock birds 2nd round started laying 26 jan all full all hatched. a week away from weening the 2nd round now. the best breeding season to date whether pre treatment had anything to do with it. must add the birds did have plenty of grit, minerals, fresh veg every day.
