natural yoghurt

nevr used it, heard about it tho...i just have garlic in 24/7 and odd time johnsons tonic but not too convinced about the johnsons, altho it has been around for years....might start using the aviform again when i race.

you should try yoghurt once a week it will do them good

Spot on Ian it wil do them good

Hi David

With the garlic yes it's good but if i was you Mon, Wed, Thurs,Sun, then fresh water Tues with yoghurt and fresh water friday and Saturday

David you have to leave room for multivitamins for one day

used garlic when i first started but dont use it anymore

Dave Allen uses it a lot and swears by it plus it can help keep the worm count down

i did only use it on a monday and tuesday, but like i was thinking ..... i would like to use some vitamins or similar during the week but just deciding what to use as im not too convinced by johnsons...i read somewhere that whenever you treat your birds you must then give vitamins afterwards....

David the next time you are in the corn shop just ask the seller which one is the best and try it, just get a small bottle and you can see how it is with the pigeons

do you just give vitamins once per week?

Yes only once a week as you don't want them getting amuned to it

Always gave it on a thursday and fresh water on the friday, if you give it on a friday it can dehydrate the birds (this is what i have read) never gave it them on a friday any way

yes don,i watched a dvd about ron green the other week and he said he always gives fresh clean water on day of basketing and in the afternoon he gives a small amount of seed to encourage them to have a drink...

As i have said before when you give the birds some food on the friday take the water out then 2 hours before basketing put the clean freash water in and you will see them drinks

ok will try this this week

do you think yours have not been having enough before they go ian or not getting any in the transporter ?
what time do you basket on a friday?

usually put hens in about 2 0clock on friday after this cocks will neither eat or drink maybe idealy i should put hens in later and basket a bit later but cant as i put pigeons thro system in club electronically

My opinion about vitamins, Exellent for pre -racing, and post- medication.
To help get birds in form , with some mineral supplements.

excellent throughout racing after race and mid week

yes,agree niel, give vitamins after treating for something...do members use electrolytes upon return from race ?

use glucose david

what about honey ian ? did you get the honeygar ian ?

no havent getting it yet

You give them honey as sugar is energy??

would giving honey when they come back from a race be good for the recovery ?

Yes

Put Honey and Lemon juice in a water fountain luck warm water disolve the honey with the lemon juice and fill with fresh water place in the loft for the birds return

Us it for one year and keep an eye on your pigeons the second year don't use it and you will see a difference ith your birds recovery
