I've done it devo took 3 yrs of natural health to kick in ,it's a good way to get strong healthy young birds but it's awful for us mate it made me really unwell so since 2017 it's clean out 2x Aday ,,results are same but first way is good if ya bit lazy .
I think we clean out, because it makes us feel better. I don't know if it's the right thing for the birds, I have been in deep litter lofts. with a lot of good performances at 400 + miles, and lofts that are cleaned twice a day, with equally good performances, and I don't think it makes much difference.
If more fanciers practiced that system, the pigeons would not have the health problems, that seem to be in so many lofts nowadays.Andy wrote: Tue Jun 11, 2024 8:28 pm I scrape out at least once a day but not worried about them coming into contact with droppings. They need to build up immunity. I don’t treat for anything so they have to have a good immune system. If any go sick they either recover or die here.
