Ian you did get shit from it, and if you remember you said it was good to use but you never used it at all so why comment on something you did not use

But no, you are going to use it so look forward to your comments at the end of the season

i commented because i had an open mind not like some i didnt think it would do no harm at all

each to there own but the use of bleach aint for me

long term use would no doubt harm the birds, after all it is a corrosive...............

what was this in reply to ian........

I would like to know about the so called good bacteria in the gut, I dont want to be argumentitive but, I just looked at our domestos bleach and it says it kills 99% of all known germs and bacteria dead..........so If you chaps but probiotics or live yoghert on the corn for the good bacteria and then use bleach, surely you are contradicting yourselves and wasting your time...

You have something there martyn

no need for all these potions and tonics which cost silly money, all we need is natural things like honey which i swear by............

cant see it phil, only members can see it................

hi guys i dont race pigeons i show them,ive used a couple of drops of sterilizing fluid in the drinkers since january only in the breeding loft.last year around this time i had some birds which somehow got a bit of worms and a few adult birds and squeekers got what i think was salmonella as a secondary infection.i havent lost anything to disease in the breeding loft.all squeekers are taken away and give only water with orego stim.i think its important for the youngsters to build up an immune system on their own.i understand the difference in opinion on this but if you dont have a problem then thats fine.when we use bleach for cleaning out the toilet pan at home its a lot stronger but i think if its diluted to this strength then its not so effective.people say you should use cider inegar but thats acidic as well as the bleach,vinegar also kills bacteria,antibiotics kill bacteria.does anyone use lime as a floor dressing as this is alkaline and the salmonella bacteria thrive in it and live spores can live a lot longer in it.
