I feel you have to "Disinfect" rather than treat. if you put alot of effort into your birds and keep them healthy after one night in the basket you may get away with it. But once their is a holdover and the birds are fed they eat off the shavings which will be contaminated by the droppings of other pigeons maybe in not as good as health as your own.

 

you need to give one or two days of an all round treatment.

I MUST BE TALKING ABOUT THE WRONG TREAT.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guest TAMMY_1]

NEVER MIND THE JOKING , THE DAY AFTER EACH RACE I WAS ALLWAYS ADVISED TO USE ATEASPOON OF BAKING SODA IN A 5 PINT DRINKER AS THIS KEPT THEM HEALTHY BUT IT IS NOT A CURE FOR ANYTHING SERIOUS.

the soda will give them a flush out, which is the best action

Milton in the water for me

[Marky5]

IF THE RACE IS A HOLDOVER , THEN WE TREAT FOR CANKER RIDZOL 10% 1 TEASPOON TO 2 LITRES OF WATER.

We don't do anything different to be honest.   I think if the birds are in good nick & in good health then they won;t catch anything.  

 

Last season we had a few holdovers & the birds weren't treated & went on to top different Fed';s etc.. so it suits us just fine

[NANCYVIEWLOFTS]

well said mike all this treating for this and that is getting out of control

[keano]

never mind the joking i always thought it was supposed to be a sport i think some people take it far to seriously. win at all costs.

[Guest]

some people want to take good care of their pigeons and keep them in good health - win or not

[Guest speckled]

Agree with mike, dont change the routine,if ya have healthy birds thay will be un affected buy any hold over,if ya need to treat, for a hold over, :-/  dont ya send to a thursday night basketing, sean, thats no diffrent to 2 days in the basket.? :-/ Just a thought Speckled :-/

Oh forgot to say on sunday, mine have tea, camomile tea,   with i think is a more gental way of getting rid of the bad toxions in the body, dont see why healthy birds need to have the RIZDOL. ???? Speck
