REDCHEQHEN Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Birds are still moulting - I don't even think the old racers are through the moult yet - just the stockSo no medication either - just supplements - might try them on Wheatgerm oil this year - we've purchased two rather old stock cocks in the last few weeks - but didn't pay much for them (they're 9 and 10 years old) - so along as we get a pair of youngsters each from them we will have had our money's worth PS - They're red cheqs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walterboswell59 Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) hope to get every bird in the loft vacinated at the weekend treated for canker and cocci still feeding a high protein mix as most birds are on there end flight will be on barley in the next week or two sprayed inside the loft roof last month with cresote and not had a fly in since so will spray again just before racing starts as its the only thing ive tried to keep flys out the loft that has worked and also a nice smell in the loft like i will be honest and say like many fanciers i have not vacinated my stock birds for a few years as they are prisoners and kept separate from my racers but as this has been my worse year with not long separated youngbirds getting sick and being culled and after studying my breeding books have discovered 99 percent of them were bred from un vacinated stock birds is it just coincidence or am i on to something all the stock birds will be done this year and ill keep you guys informed Edited November 28, 2017 by walterboswell59 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyleakin Lofts Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Feeding a moulting mix and some Hormoform. Most are through the moult, except for a few on their last flight and some late breds. Soon change to a winter mix or add some barley. Just garlic in the water two days, ACV two days, clear water the others. They have been treated / vaccinated against Paratyphoid and are due their PMV booster soon.Tests will be sent before breeding.

Jim hannah Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 at this time of year what are your feeding methods (do you change food and methods) and any medication,My mix at the moment is two parts green peas and one part wheat, this years crop.They are on parastop as well in the water, its a ten day treatment but you can take it to 14 days. I do it if thereis some left in the tub after the ten days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
