electrolytes help the body take on water and restore the bodys balance so it doesnt flood , your ybs will drink what they need and are inexperineced in taking on water for reserves , however think they may drink a bit more now , when canker is present there dung smells and they drink more water as a result .

no worrys

too much protein in the feed feed light should go on its own , if not wrap thread around it to stop the circulation of blood then it will drop off

well if i had a bad toss with hawk amongst them would lock up for a few days feed light and move training point if possible , tossing birds later in afternoon will reduce the attacks on your pigeons as they would of already killed earlier in day

used to used it , teaspoon to 2 pints , and no not using it , prefer the electrolytes

search pipa.be

hope they work there way back in to you Vic , all the hard work breeding , training ectra , dam heartbreaking at times let alone the cost of it all

ones i had were pieds with wfs looks like there very well reared must be doing something right

look for a vet hygiene lab or ask local vet to see who specialises in avian in your area im sure someone on here will know your local one

where do you live ? better to do a full test dropping and a micro culture swab

birds regulate there temperature by puffing themselves up whilst resting , many old guys use parishs food as a tonic

i use aviform Ultimate , i only used it for the vitamins , i liked the mollases based one better , my young birds havent needed any treating or ailed all season only just treated them last week for 1st time for pre racing. As for does it work i say it must be , but my flock are always treated by my vet 90% of the time its canker related other illnesses ride on the back of canker , good immune systems create better birds that dont ail .

you arent on brid alotments are you tractorboy?

got NL one from last welsh national when had the west wind , just got report card for it

lmao

one word no comma i can laugh at my mistakes ;D

id make a witty reply but dont think you would get it , however if you read your post without the comma, that didn't put in you would see the funny side.

i did hear about the magic tractor it turned into a field, but a canary turning into a mouse pretty amazing

ill expect a few more dutch strays here then

did the mouse have wings ?

birds will carry anything they think is good nesting material , some bits they pick up and sometimes reject it , my birds bring leaves and twigs in when there on the garden , sometimes they blow in to loft and they used them. Nest building comes natural to all birds ( except cuck-coo's )

seems you have done the right thing , get some iodine solution for wounds , it will keep the infection out , i had a yb scalped looked bad but its feathers have grown back

contact Scotish Union they will tell you what to do , you usually need to send your ring cards in to register them http://www.shuonline.co.uk/
