Pensioners are getting a 10% increase in pensions.

HOORAY, many will receive maybe say £13 a week more electricity,gas and groceries etc; are

now well above that and the £13 wiped out on just heating etc;

Fell very sorry for those on the basic pension after working all their life and, although I have every sympathy for those seeking asylum my blood boils at the treatment they get and our own are desperate.

Something not quite right.

Regards.

agree misty they will not go cold or hungry or worry about rent and other bills

Feel sorrier for those setting the alarm going out to work, plenty folk on minimum wage, unsociable shifts, weekends away from families and getting no increase in salary or a measly 2% if we're lucky. Some workers having to swallow their pride and visit food banks to feed the family, trying to keep a car on the road to get to work as not living on a bus route, the list goes on....Something not right there either.

so now know were the money went to when they took the bus services away from us council said they need the money for other things

The whole thing I'm (pension rises) is a gigantic type con by the elite of society, to hopefully keep all us peasants happy & content from my perspective here. Always talking about the inflation rate being an X type figure & blind Freddy even knows most things one requires to just survive hopefully are far & above on average what they suggest the figure actually is in an inflation type sense by their speel. End of the day     typical     as always, Cat chasing its tail scenario I'm      .  

need some advice last year had 2 ybs from the mealy cock one died few days later 2nd one died this year with a  diffident  hen one yb is very cold the other bigger one is cold i think one will die to-night the other to-morrow the cock is to blame what could the problem be

is he feeding them properly george ,could be any number of things ...a bit like who shot JR

i think sometimes they recover from illness when young, and still carry it in them, and can pass it on to their ybs ..or it can reoccur in them in later life .

just had a look and hen is covering them i now think the cock takes no part in the breeding

maybe theres a reason why george maybe the birds carrying a minor ailment like cocci count is too high or a bit of canker/candida or even worms ...like i said ,who shot JR

i was given him last year

now this is one instance when all should treat when a new import comes into the loft or isolate for 3 weeks and send a swab off ,not all have the room to isolate so i would treat irrespective as to protect my flock and will not harm the bird to treat blind as a one off on entering the set up ,at least you know you have a clean slate with the said bird/birds ,how many times have i heard the new import has infected the whole loft

think he will find a new home it seems to happen when they come of soft food

my money on him being a paratyphoid carrier, had hens rear 2 yb on their own when cock wasn't a keen feeder. Pigeons can be clear of symptoms but still be carriers, this is from experience not a guess.

i don't want to move him into the other loft Colin do i just dispose of both ybs would it make any difference moving his eggs

Canker is the worst problem with carriers.

Never show any sign themselves but pass it on to their young and may miss a generation before showing it's self again.

That is why I never brought in new stock once I had established a naturally healthy team with no need for any medication as I have said many times over the years, every new loft member can ruin the whole loft and need constant both preventative and curative treatments.

Very easy to ruin very hard to cure.

Best bet with any like the mealy George, get rid.

The art is having naturally healthy pigeons not knowing all the cures Etc

Regards.

told him last year to come for it strange the other cock that come with him has been paired for months but no eggs as yet

Seems 2 years running ended up giving same problem George, something definitely up with that cock, especially when you're other birds are fine. I know you love them as pets and a pastime which I appreciate is important to you. In a racing loft I'd be saying bye to him but in your case I at least wouldn't breed from him or use him as a feeder, or float his eggs either.

i did not want the birds but was told he cost£800 so thought he must be ok

If he was that good George why would he part with it.

Be a bad idea to get fanciers cast offs.

Get the ones you have tested and go from there.
