Same, same. Crunch time here today from my perspective, for those racing etc. Had a month or so of blow home type racing here. Today on the nose for most, at around 250/300 odd miles. Rota virus issue I suspect, will make many loft's look rather sick to-night . Little story as of this morning. One bloke at the last Fed meeting here was jumping up & down, because he wanted trainers on the truck along with the race birds etc "knocked back". Club mate also, of you know who "my favourite Vet" the chook farmer . Then spat the dummy   & decided not to race type of thing which now leaves my mate ??? with 3 racing in his club etc of which 2 just happen to be racing to his loft .

Knackered. Bullshit scenario. Happens often regardless of country. Whatever virus is around, looks sick do not want your birds "possibly" infected do not ship. Otherwise ship them. They will perform or not. They will get sick or not. If not will have some immunity. Viruses have been around since dawn of time. Unknown to fanciers 100 years ago. Progression on health was simple. Keep the best. Kill the sick. Propping up the weak ones with antibiotics etc was a recipe for disaster. Much to the delight of the vets, etc,.

Could be so Hal    . Best I not say much after looking at the results here today etc . But I know a Vet that requires a Vet. ASAP   to help him with his dilemma.
