That being said, my poor pigeons spent a long cold winter in an old tin chook shed. What was meant to be 6 or 8 weeks was months and months.
I wormed them and gave them all a course of emtryl for canker when they were moved here.
I have to say the pigeons look brilliant, considering what they've been through, and the first babies are big and strong.
But that's it. I 'borrowed' the emtryl and there is no more.
Now they have to be strong enough to stay healthy.

This is the Roadrunner Heremans on his three day old babies
I wish he was out flying and so does he. But I can’t just let him go and hope for the best.
We will have to see how it goes.
But isn’t he looking great 😊

SOMETHING ELSE
Anton Snoeren from Kaatsheuvel has been a top performer in M ​​Brabant for many years. He has tried countless supplements and the only difference he noticed was the content of his wallet.
So 'fond phenomenon' van Vliet thinks the same. Supplements?: 'zero point zero'. Learned from superman Bas V? (Verkerk)
Falco Ebben ventures into the world of writers. He plays enormously so an asset.
Falco also doesn't believe in it (anymore) he writes openly.
Because I also think 'give what is necessary and not what is not necessary' now that the sellers who don't like me.
Those who do believe in it just keep going if they feel good about it. You can discover for yourself that you can do without it through empiricism, by trying it out. Give some of your pigeons and then look for a difference. I predict a long search.
And again from Ad....

VITAMINS
Many of my views are based on empiricism. In other words, I do tests and then compare. One of them was vitamins. Some of the pigeons got them, others didn't, but I never noticed any difference. So they are not (anymore) spent on my pigeons.
Also because scientists have never noticed a vitamin deficiency in well-cared for pigeons. Vitamins in drinking water seem completely pointless, especially in hot weather.
Because you can read everywhere in professional literature how quickly they lose their effectiveness. Some people take vitamins. They dissolve a tablet in water, then don't let it there for hours but drink it immediately.
And what about pigeons when strenuous efforts are required? The young Sil van Vliet has already amazed a hole country in the extreme long distance.
He even won national Barcelona this year. No supplements whatsoever has been given to his pigeons. Out of fear that pigeons will eat less.
Are you playing well and do you believe in vitamins? Just keep going
