David you need to help in doing this. One to hold the bird one to inject and i think you need to have two signitures other than your for your vacination sheet. You can get the vacination stuff from adverts in the bhw. If you are only having a small team you could go halfs with someone who also has a small team.
I dont know about others on here, but i find they dont sell you the para vacine with long use by dates on them.

Oh and you will need to ask your club secretary when you have to have your vacination sheet in by

i will be treating for worms and canker then 10 days on trimethoprim/sulpha then 3 days probiotic and jab for paratypoid then pair them 26th dec

Roll on CHRISTMAS

was intending pairing up around last week in december like most others, but read somewhere the other day a god flyer doesnt pair till feb.......isnt this a bit late ? or are we too early ?

Its down to preference David, i like to pair up earlyso all my youngsters are moved before racing begins, i then pair them back up 3 weeks before first race, so they are sitting eggs when the birds come back from race all eggs have gone and the birds are on the roundabout system
Ken

very interesting ken, didnt know about this way.....how long have you done this and did you do it differently at any time ? obviously this way is best in your opinion ?

Hi Sue it just gives them that bit more motivation, i start training them when they are on eggs, so its in their heads each time they come back eggs are waiting, so come race day they race back to the nest
Ken

im writing this down ken.....

Hi david done this for a few years now prior to that i used to pair up later so they were all on big youngsters, when the birds were back from first race but found this hard work
as the birds went on roundabout so couldent get the feeding right
Ken

have heard that when they are on the second round of eggs they take eggs away and hens after sitting for a while.....or something like this, is this what some do ?

David whenmy birds go to first race they have been sitting aprox 7 days the eggs are removed sat morning so yes it is more or less the same
Ken

sounds good ken, like you say....it gives more incentive.......

like the sound of your system ken,would llike to hear more.
