No problem, i have never heard of anyone doing it, but to be honest i did think of doing it myself, but never did :-)

i have seen it done by lads nxt door 2 me but i wanted 2 know if it makes any difference in their racin

I do this on first y/b race, incase they do not find the water, but only the first week as after that they need to find the water before they get a couple of days in the basket come the Nationals.

Have heard of it done, don't think it makes the pigeon fly better but does stop them from drinking in the baskets because that is where a  lot of diseases are picked up, so elliminating that aspect of flying problems.

Ive tried it but the birds just blow it straight back out ( unless they are on nest ).It is pointless doing ybs this way, IMO.The other downside is that they wont drink later in the basket when the others are, hence the other pigeons being more hydrated than yours come the liberation. :-/

I went to varify a Classic section winner one evening to find the fancier topping up all his rung youngsters in the nest with water, something he said he done every evening to stop them dehydrating in the night!

You cant syringe them when off nest as it comes right through them or they spew it out

true, but I was suprised it didn't cause the youngsters droppings to become very wet around the bowl!

Same here i have a 20ml syringe with a 15-20ml long bit of 5ml air line stuck on it which i syringe right into the crop of any y/b's not looking to well

[Delboy]

Granted, if a yb or ob isnt well and you want to give them water with antibiotics etc in it, then syringing is the only way to do this but they will blow most of it out within 10 minutes of you doing it. At least they will have a little medication left in them.

I use a bit earthing cable (Hollow) and put on end of syringe and place the tub down the throat directly into the crop and then syringe the water i only give about 20 ml of water any more and they look like they have YBS with the squirts by the time they are marked.

 

cheers

electrolytes Thursday friday no need to force water on them . :-/

[Guest Davy Fleming]

Regularly syringe birds, old and young  using a  20ml syringe  with  a 2-3 inch very thin tube right  down into the gut  with REHYDRATION  only  (not water)  , but only when it is extremely warm weather  and can  assure 90 %   of  these birds  are first home from the race.   ;)

[Guest mick bowler]

I have just bought 40 intravenous drips and tubes, so i can use them on my YBs next year to ensure they don't dehydrate.  ;D
