JohnQuinn Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 If it disnae perk up George get rid of it, i know your just getting doos together to get started but believe me the last thing you need is weak pigeons, survival of the fittest/healthiest is the way to keep them. Doctored doos are no use whatsoever to you mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctored doos are no use whatsoever to you mate. If its yb sickness then you dont get rid of it.All children catch the odd bug, dont they. I have a cock with 3 SNFC tickets and he had YBS as a yb. Give Adenosan George. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnQuinn Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 It is my policy not to medicate doos, i inject against PMV when they are in the nest and they get a Half Canker tab when i wean them, after that if they go off then they are OFF. Would like to point out i don't get ybs, i've never had it in my loft, Never! I put this down to my medication ban and rightly or Wrongly i'll keep this ban in place.

Just so many different strains of it,mild to fatal, eg if you shout on ybs and they dont respond, its YBS. I have heard this from fanciers before, Ive not had Ybs etc etc. Ive went to there lofts and pointed it out to them. Some of these guys were top fanciers too.
