walterboswell59 Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 I have spent the last couple of hours reading the most interesting comments on reasons and possible ways to avoid sickness and indeed death to ones birds,I am only returning to the sport after some 17 years,It is my intention never to race young birds,am I right in believing that I would be safer wainting untill breeding from the stock birds I have brought is complete then vacinate both o/birds and young birds together........thanks for some wonderful reading....JBC/..you can jag them anytime all together as long as your 2 to 3 weeks clear of training racing or showing john this gives the virus time to run its course through your flock and does not expose other peoples birds to the virus and not re infecting your own then you must have somthing in the water for your birds first drink to kill anything they pick up in training or race baskets for the ive done it this way for twenty years brigade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
