square_peg Posted May 6, 2012 Report Posted May 6, 2012 COLOMBOVAC....IT WORKS...NAE MESS ON DOOS...JAG THEM WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OOT THE NEST
billt Posted May 6, 2012 Report Posted May 6, 2012 I prefer an oil based one, when you say no mess on the birds, there shouldn't be, if there is an oil patch it has leaked and needs to be done again, with water based ones this can happen and you don't know
square_peg Posted May 6, 2012 Report Posted May 6, 2012 been jagging doos since we have had to do this jagged lots of club members doos and some show boys doos. the only time there was a problem was when oil based vac was used.....both times the young bird was dead in the morning after the jag with oil based vac...one of ours and one of the show doos, which never get out of the loft...JMO

Guest big slim Posted May 7, 2012 Report Posted May 7, 2012 I prefer nobi vac. Always used colombovac but birds still took mild para. Spoke to Rod Adams who told me to use nobi vac as recommended by Wim Peters. NO problems since.

lanarkshire lad Posted May 7, 2012 Report Posted May 7, 2012 I used colombovac for years and i must have jagged thousands over the years but lately ive changed to nobilis nobivac and find it excellent. The reason i changed was the ybs seemed to be getting sore necks with the colombovac after being jagged.
