natural yoghurt

[OLDYELLOW]

Back a while ago, I read quite a lot about probiotics. Most of it was written by Vets. The overridding opinions were that young pigeons need to eat their own droppings. The proviso was that there should'nt be anything wet or contaminated with cocci or worms. The recommendation was that we fanciers should use dry deep litter for young birds.

I did not like it when I read it because I thought that deep litter was bad for me and the pigeons. And although I have not tried it yet, I might give it a go in one parting, this year. I think there may be something in it, and due to the fact that I killed 4 very well bred YBs last year with YBS, it could be helpful. Up to now I have used Gem Thepax, G10 pellets, and yogurt. I always have an anti YBS product handy and I use it at the first sign of trouble. Non of it works 100%. Although I don't loose many YBs, I am sure that some that are lost are probably ill. I would welcome your views.
