Stock birds

[Guest CS]

Do all the members vaccinate the stock birds year after year,  if so do you think they need it.?? or is it a waste of money.

[gangster]

never do them coz nothing gets near them...........................

[Guest speckled]

do mine once :-/,all new birds that come onto the stock loft will be treated  & vacanated, as gangster said thay dont come in to contact with anything nore go now where (ie over the water) .just my thoughts Speck(evil)(geek)

[Beanz]

My stock birds will never see any medication.  If they get sick then they are no longer stock birds.  Ed

[pigeonpete]

you MUST vaccinate new stock birds, or suffer the concequences, but once done providing they are in a seperate loft wont need doing again

[westy]

[gangster]

Because my stock are all prisoners, I only vacinate them once. Never had any problems with this system.

[schouwman71]

never ever vaccinated my stock birds,we have had pigeons for many years and stock birds have never been vaccinated because it is a load of crap saying they need doing,if there was anythink wrong with them they wouldnt even get in my loft.Keep em natural,they will breed for many years.

Mine will all get vacinated my stock shed is joined to my other sheds.My racers will see and be in contact with other birds so in theory so will my stockers.

we dont do our stock

[rockinrick]

a query to add onto this post, inherited all my stock last feb and as far as i know the stock birds are not/have never been vaccinated, the stock loft is on the other side of the garden to the race loft but they do have unrestricted acsess to a large wire flight area, no new birds have been added other than the odd one that was bred in the stock loft and kept for stock from day 1  . Do you think i should vaccinate my stocks ??

Personally i would say yes as i do all my birds stock as well every year,i allways think how i would ever forgive myself if my stock birds did catch something.

Hi

Use to vaccinate my young just before training started and did not vaccinate

late breds kept for stock

A young brid was lost off roof before vaccination and returned later Looked A1 after 4/5 days put back in YB loft

Off 44 YBs 37 died or were disposed of        Vet said it was PARAMYXO

In my stock loft I lost 5 old birds varing ages but only birds that not vaccinated

Stock loft is 10 meters from YB loft         Vet said it was on my clothes and feet

I NEVER EVER WANT TO SEE THAT AGAIN

So now I jag every YB as it leaves the nest and every bird that enters my loft

Cheers

Amazes me that someone might spend a couple of hundred pounds on a stock bird and then wont spend another 20p or so to protect it.

I will vaccinate all my birds this year. Haven't vaccinated for a few years because of being North road, like most of my club. But we had a bad outbreak of paramyxo and it is not good. Lost nearly all my yb's or had to kill them, even ones I bought, I was extremely p***ed of with myself because I feel I let them down by not vaccinating. I would now advise anyone to vaccinate all their birds now. Its a case of always thinking it happens to other people, its a nightmare of a disease  

[Guest CS]

I think it's best way to caccinate all stock birds, and racers... better safety than sorry.

[westy]

i only do ybs because they have to have it otherwise i will not vaccinate stock or any oldbirds.

[snowy]

nor me

If you ever see the horrific state the birds get into, you will make sure you vaccinate.Its not a very nice thing to see.
