if respirity then you need to address whats causing it as there enviroment will make them ail again regardless of treating ensure that your loft is well ventilated and not draughty , your birds may be sneezing due to dust in the loft due to moulting
yes there are so are frans laubeuws the florizones are very similar hence why Van Hee has bought them in but the florizones are very hard to get hold of frank sheader does have a few other familys are based on Sticklebaults such as Van Hees , Van Braunes and Brahuiss excuse selling
Im sure Jim smith near Middlesborough had these if hes still with us i believe he was in Great Ayton or there abouts but werent racing them just breeding them
i kindly transfered it to the gentleman who reported it , was fine till i asked him to pop it on ferry and liberate before docking , then she had a wing injury , im sure she'll bred a few good birds for him
only two types of pigeons good or bad and from my experiance i always find that a first out cross if successfull can breed some very good birds the fanciers on the continent buy good birds they never buy strains thats why there the strain makers they keep the hybrid vigour by constantly out crossing and improving there birds
old stocking and leg splints healing cream suda creme or something similar iodine to steralize , and a isolation cage to use for a hospital box ice cubes in a small glass of water are good for birds legs when badly bruised or broken to keep leg swelling too much and to turn ring as often as possible so it keeps it's circulation
well as i said earlier been a while since been hit , so wounds are healed and dry no point in further distressing the bird anymore i have had 3 birds badly injured this year all needed no intervention from me and made good a good recovery good food and water and rest away from other birds and should bounce back to full health
if not bleeding your probably best to leave it alone any crop holes are best sealed with superglue pigeons are very robust perhaps some photos would help to see the damage thats been done
think more management than pigeon lol i think he'll be greatly improved next year on widowhood he was flown natural my aim is to fly him to Bergerac 650 miles
