Aye, good stuff that. Seems as though quite a few of the old fashioned remedies are quietly making a comeback!

yip pigeon men have been conned and sidetraked with all the synthetic crap thats on the
market now. Far to complicated nowadays. Im all for medicines at the wright time prescribed by the right people. Then test them out hard, if they succume again
they dont have the constitution required for top pigeons

Ive never used it Harry, I use Natural bath salts and when they had the nasties i used a sachet of Chloracarb.
I kid you not ive not see another nasty since.The cost was £5.95 for the sachet.
But if this stuff your on about works i will give it a go. Where do i get it from and whats the price?
I know questions questions questions. I was the WHY kid when i was little

I bath them by hand, so they dont get to drink it ya Dafty. Then when all are done i put the remaing water into a spray bottle and lightly spray baskets and nest boxs and any where else that nasties can thrive.

Think it is good that they drink some as it is an old remedy for fungal infections. I remember using it as a kid for athletes foot but it turned the feet a brown colour (like Lawrence of Arabia's feet) He He!
