Basketed for Guarda 246ml last night, sent 48 and hope they come better than they have previously.Discovered a week past wednesday some of my yearling cocks had pigeon pox which explains why the lofts been 10mns of the pace recently, anyway digits crossed for a better result this week.

Thay are racing crap Sapper, 4 out of the 5 races av been 10/15mns behind although my returns have been excellent.Just cant put my finger on it, hoping its something to do with the pigeon pox and it will clear up in a couple of weeks.

[walterboswell59]

fid get them on nifuramycin for 3 to 4 days in case there is something hanging on them it wont do them any harm m8

[fid]

Will see if i can get hold of the nifuramycin, got to try something. The stange thing is the birds look a picture and raced all the way to the loft today and looked like they had just taken a turn round the loft.My only observation is that they dont appear to excersise around the loft with the same urgency as they were doing a few weeks ago. Thanks for the suggestion Mr Boswell.

 

Yes they have been getting a midweek toss Sapper, takes them no more than 40mns.

[walterboswell59]

forgot to ask you m8 your birds havent been near vacinated birds in the past 2 4 weeks have they or someone in your club or trainer jagged there young birds

[fid]

Dont realy know if they have been in contact with recently vacc doos, i wouldnt think so though as we dont have y/b racing here and all birds are usualy vacc at same time around january.

Fid if your pigeons had pox your returns would be sht. Would be good to see a picture if you could post one .

On the thread or pm

Billy have your pigeons ever had pox, well this is the first time mine have had it. Apparently its a commin over here.I have been told more than once you understand [because am a cynical bstrd]that almost all lofts get it at sometime and continue racing the birds that dont show signs of the lesions and it takes approx 3wks before the bird is back to full health.Unfortunatly am gona have to wait and see how it pans out.Maby next week al just say hey guys av won, but then a would be tellin porkies.

[fid]

SORRY met to say putting up a picture is a bit difficult, you see am a technophobe as far as computors go but hey maby one day, but i do know wot pigeon pox looks like and how it effects a pigeon.

No never had it m8 but have helped other guys before

[fid]

If you have never had pigeon pox then why would you say my returns would be sht, when you vaccinate a pigeon on back of the neck you are giving that bird the pox, the only differance is the lesion appears on back of neck and with the scratch and hard brush method the lesion is on top of leg.The outward appearance and vitality of the said bird is normal,my pigeons have not been vacc for pox[ they will nxt year] therefore the lesions have appeared on the lower and upper mandabill and also in some cases the aye cere. That is why i know i have pox in my loft also i know i was 10mns behind again and yes had 38/38.

[buster151]

well done on your returns
