Why would you need to do that Buster ?
No ideas just something I always did to make sure they were clean

It’s always a challenge. If mine have spent two days in the basket I always use yellow drops. My microscope is permanently out in the racing season and I’ll randomly pick birds for testing, if I find canker depending on what race is coming up I’ll either do a short two day treatment or a 7 days treatment which is my preference. Droppings get tested twice a week I find cocci is the biggest issue,getting the count to zero is very difficult. If they are really off form l,ll do a Grams test, if the result of that is unsatisfactory I’ll then send dropping off to a lab for a proper investigation. Something I’ve thought about doing but never done is washing their feet in disinfectant on return. Mad or what
I always used to wash my birds feet and tails every Friday before basketing
Washing them when they came back would make more sense.
Yes I agree
