So I gotta say I went all natural last season. The year before I gave them respitory towards the end of yb season bc I was worried and the old timers got in my head...The hardest thing this yr was when my birds weren't winning and the older fanciers are telling me there's something wrong with them. I check their throats and their health the birds looked perfect. Sent them to the 300 without medicating and did very well. 1st in my club. The hardest thing following your system is to ignore guys who have won everything and you look up to. But your system works. Thanks for the upload. I don't do everything in top two tiers except tho yellow drops.. I tried but I gotta go to work in an office. Can't show up with yellow fingers!
Great to hear. Sometimes no matter what you do the birds do not perform and then they dominate a week later. This year I won a Long distance combine by a wide margin, the following week I was on the late side with the same pigeons at 317 miles. The next race the birds won the 507 mile combine by a wide margin. I did not panic and start changing. The pigeons looked great.
@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons I think you should mention thT in future video. It's gotta be the biggest challenge with natural system. The impulse to do something is hard to control. Hopefully 2024 goes well and I'll try not to Panic I Either way. Thanks
Thank you, also prefer the more natural remedies. I also like to give my birds tumeric powder, cayenne pepper, Moringa tea, lemon juice and kefir( for the probiotics) Seems to also help in keeping the birds healthy without the antibiotics. Lots of others which I think could be very beneficial but I suppose one has to draw the line somewhere. South Africa
I picked all of the treat seeds out of a 22lb bag of Jovati’s Multimineral Mix that I recently bought, it really tried My patience to do that but I managed to get them all out, I really don’t like seeing those things in My Grit.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Frank. The way you presented the video really gives young fanciers like myself better perspective. With all the products out there sometimes it can get very confusing and overwhelming.
Hello Mike, I wish more would commit and make their pigeons stronger by stopping all flock treatments. My birds keep getting stronger and I feel it makes quite a difference in racing and breeding.
I use Vanrobaeys grains also the Vanrobaeys grit and mineral mix i also use Beyers grit occasionally . I use b12 in the water once maybe twice a week clean water 5/6 days a week . I do not feel the need to use any other products .
I have occasionally put some slices.of lemons in the drinkers only because we have lemon trees . I feel most of the supplements are a waste of money i have occasionally used a piece of garlic in a drinker after the breeding season when the pigeons are parted and in the aviarys . I am really not into supplements.
Funny that I forgot about the lemons and I had them saved and did not use in the video. I like them during the racing season. Good product and helps clear some mucous and adds some vitamin C and acidity.
Hey Frank. I have been learning sommuch from your channel. Do you have a comprehnesive video that talks about your weekly feed/water/supplement schedule. Ive been going thru all your videos. If there is i havent come across it yet.

Hello Frank. Most fanciers do a course of canker (ronidazole etc) and respiratory (Doxycycline +bromohexine). You do as well? If not , what are alternatives for canker and respiratory? What do u use before race? Any herbal or other? Thanks
I do not flock treat the birds ever. Not before or during the race season or breeding. I only give natural products but will treat a sick bird individually. I built up the immunity of my pigeons and have not treated for canker or respiratory in over 10 years and have not treated for cocci in over 20 years. Check out these videos.

Hello Ben, During the racing season I put in all the fresh minerals for when they return from the race. If the grit is dry I will leave it. You can replenish any grits and minerals on Tuesday. I do not give fresh grit after Tuesday during the racing season. There is too much salt in the minerals and I do not want the pigeons to dehydrate during the race. So fresh grits on day of return and you can replenish on Tuesday.
i must get the flax seed oil i have pretty much everything else and use them all the time so do u think the agri product u talked about recently works the same as the other oregano product u just posted a photo of ?
Hi Frank. Question the VBG can we give during the breeding season i mean while the parents are feeding the babies in nest ? Do you use it during the breeding time . Thanks
well its always easiest to get items that are "sold for humans" like the ACV, garlic, and flax seed oil. i admit that having to special order- or drive for 5 hours- to get specialty pigeon items makes it a bit more nerve wracking....
indeed. at least a lot of the human grade things are available in local groceries! i'm very new with pigeons (thank you for all your videos) so... to me staring online at an array of foods or minerals is extremely daunting. @@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons

Either way. Thanks
Keep them great videos coming. My pigeons love the red grit the best and Kilpatrick,s black minerals during the breeding season.
I should have added the Black Minerals. Good product that I use during breeding occasionally.
Thank you, also prefer the more natural remedies.

You are doing the right thing!!

Wow!!! How long did that take you
@@Razorloft8802 it took Me about an hour
You're nuts!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Frank. The way you presented the video really gives young fanciers like myself better perspective. With all the products out there sometimes it can get very confusing and overwhelming.
You are dedicated. I would like the mix much more if they did not put in the treat seeds. They end up eating more than they need.
Have been antibiotic free going on 4 years!!Use several of the same products. Birds look amazing!

All great products and most top companies make similar products.

Thank you very much, Mr. McLaughlin. You’ve been a great help. Al Pharness.
For old birds, my racing scales came way up with your help
I am happy if you could like a little bit.
That is great news. Good results can come without a lot of work.

Thoughts on charcoal offered for the birds
Years ago all the grits contained charcoal. Not sure of the benefits but the birds eat the stuff.
sir. frank. can you explain how to use grits and minerals during thenraces and how or what days to give it thanks in advance

I like the Nubiotic better because it contains cinnamon and it is also a better price.
Hi Frank. Question the VBG can we give during the breeding season i mean while the parents are feeding the babies in nest ? Do you use it during the breeding time . Thanks
When I went to all natural health I use the VBG Oregon for months on end. I gave daily during my first breeding season. Will not hurt babies one bit.
Another top video frank 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you!
Does your system work for all races or races over a distance works better
I use the same products and methods at all distances
Do you use black minerals ?
I meant to add Black Minerals. I do add them when I can get them. Good product.
Hi Frank. Do you give all your birds the yellow drops are just the birds that you going to race
Give to the entire team. I did a yellow drops video here. ruclips.net/video/9uui1e3cLDQ/видео.html
@@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons thank you
How are you using the pink mineral Sir?
Put the Pink Natural Vitamineral in a little pot and let birds eat as they want. Change once a week or if they get damp
How about the sulphur powder and have you use it? any thoughts and takes anyone??
i have not served them but sprinkle on floor ,specially in rainy days
Sprinkle it on the feed once a week, great for the feathers and stops fungus.
Never tried a sulfur product. Not sure about the benefits.
VBG by far the best
Best of all the oregano options.
well its always easiest to get items that are "sold for humans" like the ACV, garlic, and flax seed oil. i admit that having to special order- or drive for 5 hours- to get specialty pigeon items makes it a bit more nerve wracking....
If you can get the same product made for humans it will be a much better quality. Many you can order on line that are Human Grade.
indeed. at least a lot of the human grade things are available in local groceries!
i'm very new with pigeons (thank you for all your videos) so... to me staring online at an array of foods or minerals is extremely daunting. @@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons
Appreciate the video frank really helped a lot 🏆🧬🪽🪽🙏🏼
Use Nubiotic Oregano Cinnamon in place of Avian Solution
@@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons gonna order some this week is ok to give to the young birds if they are drinking water in there own they are 13 days old?
I give to my breeders about four days per week. Does not hurt the babies
@@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons thank you for the information and definitely gonna be getting some this week for sure
🙏🏼🏆🪽🪽🧬
Hi frank, how do you use the flax seed oil? Keep up the good work by the way
I put the flaxseed oil on the feed until the feed looks wet then add Winmix and brewers yeast until grain is covered. Flaxseed is great stuff.
@@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons Thankyou very much for that
