Hello All,
I wish this was a good news type post but sadly, it is the exact opposite. At this point, I am out of pigeons.
6 weeks ago we purchased a product called Furaltadone 20% powder and mixed it exactly as described. 4 days into the 5-day treatment 14 birds died. We immediately stopped the medication and started the rest of the birds on various flushes, pro-biotics, vitamins, ect, with no success at all. At this point, we have lost close to 150 birds - all of my ET's, 60+ feeders, roughly 40 Jacobins and to be honest, they're still dying daily.
We contacted the dealer we bought it from to ask if anyone else was having this problem to be told no, it must be something else causing it. We performed necropsies to find livers and kidneys damaged beyond belief - indicative of poisoning.
Last week we picked up a couple birds from a friend and put them on the same treatment to verify if it was in fact the medication or if we had another problem. Exactly 4 days into the treatment, 1 bird died. As of today, day 6, the other bird looks terrible and will probably not make it.
I'm not looking for sympathy or birds. Honestly, I'm not sure if I even want to start over. My main concern at this point is to warn as many people as possible to NOT use this product, especially if it has the same batch number as the package in this photo. I do not want to say who we purchased it from at this time because I doubt they manufacture the product themselves and I don't want to smear their name but also because once lab work comes back, there may be legal actions taken.

The following is Hannes Rossouw’s winning World Cup Formula.

Photo # 1. The cans he uses to measure.
Photo # 2. His high protein mix, or HPM.
Photo # 3. His wheat.
Photo # 4. His milo.
Photo # 5. His barley.

On Sunday, the birds rested, and were fed 7 tins of HPM.
On Monday, the birds rested, and were fed 4 tins of Wheat, and two of HPM.
On Tuesday, the birds rested, and were fed 2 tins of Milo, and 1 tin of Barley.
On Wednesday the birds were flown, and they won the World Cup!

Hannes gratefully gave me permission to share his preparations. His use and his of his own take, on Monty Neibel “Yo-yo” flying prep shows varying feed, and using lock up times, can get the most out of a kit of Rollers! Each individual who reads this, now needs to find out which mix of grain, in which amounts, will work with their own family of birds! There is no fixed formula that will work for others. Variations in location, air pressure, temperature and family of birds - will mean everyone will need to experiment with what works - for them!

Interesting facts of birds egg fertility that you may not know.

🪶 It is possible to have a rooster and a hen that are active but a hen can still lay eggs that are not fertile:

I know you may be wondering how, and here is the explanation.
Unlike other birds where you find partners, in chickens there is no courtship or romance. A rooster just forces himself on the hen. So what happens is when a rooster mates a hen, his injected semen is stored in numerous s***m storage tubules (SSTs) located in the area where the hen’s uterus joins the va**na. But this only happens provided the hen likes the rooster. If she doesn’t, she can sq**rt out the semen to avoid hatching his offspring. Therefore a hen may still proceed to lay eggs that are not fertile despite even mating with a rooster every day.

🪶 Even if the hen approves the rooster, some eggs may still not be fertile:

Since the s***m is released shortly after an egg is laid, and each egg takes approximately 25 hours to develop, an egg produced on the day of mating will not be fertile.

An egg laid the next day may or may not be fertile, depending on the timing. An egg laid on the third day definitely should be fertile.

So as you can see your hen can still have the first two or three eggs that are not fertile despite the hen and a rooster having mated.

🪶 You don't need a rooster everyday for the hen to continue laying fertile eggs:

The amount of time during which the hen will continue to lay fertile eggs depends on how much s***m fills the SSTs, which are capable of storing semen from multiple matings and multiple roosters.

Highly productive hens generally remain fertile longer than hens that lay at a slower rate. The average duration of fertility from a single mating is 10 to 14 days.
So it is possible that once your hen has mated with a rooster you can even take the rooster away and you can still have fertile eggs for the next 14 days.

🪶 For first time layers if a rooster has mated with a hen, all her eggs are not always fertile:

Generally speaking, a hen who has mated will be fertile between 7 and 10 days after. It takes that long for the s***m to reach the oviduct where eggs are made. So it is possible that after mating, your hen can still continue to lay eggs that are not fertile for the next 10 days. This is why it is encouraged that for hens that are laying for the first time it is better to eat the eggs for the first two or three weeks instead of attempting to hatch them.

🪶 Not all roosters have fertile s***m:

This is a sad one. Just like in humans, even in chickens we also have roosters that are infertile.
Why? Who knows. It's maybe just something in his genes not working as it should. Again, very like the human condition. There's not always a rhyme or reason.

NB- This article has been compiled to help people understand why at time they may hear those who provide hatchery services referring to their eggs not having been fertile. We know some have been wondering why the eggs are said not to be fertile yet they have the recommended number of hens and roosters that are also active for that matter.

While the article has been compiled from various sources that we believe to be credible, it is only for general information. For specifics relating to one's flock we still recommend that farmers use the services of professionals.

Thank you for reading.
