| KILL YOUR PIGEONS, I have never heared such rubbish there are fanciers in our club that use it once a week or month or something, but believe me they are not champion flyers and never will be....ask your self the question would you drink it?????????
Not me, but I would drink and eat anything I give my birds and do. |

| if you have never used it how do you know its rubbish ? there are plenty of top flyers who swear by it
only a couple of drops in the drinker will do the birds no harm it just flushes there system out .
yes i know there are pigeon products out there to do the job but like every thing else in the pigeon product
range they just rip you off and half of them are crap anyway , all i do is i have a spray bottle and every couple of days i spray the drinker out with the bleach solution and just swill it out . but like we keep saying there are many ways to keep them healthy each to there own . |

| why are you scratching you head , lately on pigeon chat they have been talking about this some are like you will not use it be but there are more and more coming out and saying they use it just because you don,t think its right , doesn,t mean people can,t use it .  |

|  Well thats the good thing with the forum, we get a chance to see what others do, Its not for me as I have said but its only my opinion and as we all know what works for 1 isnt for another, thats again whats great about pigeons, there is never a right or wrong way, do it your way and thats best.  |

This debate started last year and never heard of it but have asked a few fanciers and the ones who use it are not the top fanciers, so will have to agree with you there Martyn |

| i agree with kev regarding the fact there are a lot of products on the market which are just ripping fanciers off, but to use bleach in the drinking water is madness in my opinion.............ok, a couple of drops to a gallon may do no harm every now and then, but to add any more is crazy. |

The N.E.H.U race from Melton Mowbray 21/4/2012 was won by Peel bros of South Shields, they took 1st club 1st fed, also taking 2nd and 4th club and 15 of the 25 birds clocked in the club......well done Peel brothers.
