Great video's frank. Regarding the yellow drops, we use kusuri acriflavine 1% here in the UK as we can no longer get the yellow drops. Its originally for pond fish. Its not expensive either. Regards david
A very good pro-biotic is Yakult .They sell it here in small plastic bottles and i use 1 bottle on 1 kg food .And i use 2 days a week Sedochol, it cleans the blood .But like you said ,Comed has very good products .
It was truly amazing and thumbs up for me, that is what I am looking for. A simple system that is all natural that really works, and practical and it’s economically sustainable. Thanks again Frank I enjoyed watching all the educational videos.
I can certainly do an off season video but I do not do anything special. Just the good feed and minerals through the molt and then cheap feed and minerals in the winter and non molting times.
The reason I am asking is that I always wanted to fly my birds on a natural system without antibiotics or medicines as I do not feel the need to have medication in the water everyday.
He is a great bird. A bit shy but loves me. Endless vocabulary but I would not recommend getting one. They need endless attention and will get into everything. Like having a two year old child forever.
Not sure if you saw my message earlier. Here goes again. You’ve shown us your hen loft but could you give us a loft tour of your other lofts and show how the ventilation works. 1:12
Great!! Yet again Frank you show products not usually popular here in our country...and that's super!!! The only problem is how to purchase those products... hahahaha
Hi Frank, thanks for the advice, just to confirm, the products you listed to give on Saturday when birds return from a race, are they all added together in the water?
You really have a knack for simplifying pigeons Frank. Thanks for the great videos! Just discovered your channel. Where are you from in New England? I’m out of Westbrook, Maine.
Very nice and interesting video - we use totaly different product - but the concept is very similar to yours - currently since 2017 without any antibiotics as well.
Keep it up and there are many products that can be used like these. Your pigeons will keep getting stronger and stronger. They health and quality of my pigeons now ten years antibiotic free is incredible.
@@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons thank you for they reply! , I bet you get 1000 of question , could you answer one more. You refer to the 80% barley mix , looking at your video on feeding , you showed your barley mix. It appears to have canola-saff-wheat -red sorghum some say milo -with then a large % of Barley. Can you confirm please.We dont have the mixer you can get in the USA , so I have to make my own. . appreciate help if you can, rod
Hi Jon, I really do not measure it and add until the grain will not hold any more of the products. Some will not stick to the feed and falls off. Best to add until the grain is covered completely. There is always some wasted.
Frank my birds look healty i was just gonna used something to deworm before the races..should give medicine for respiratory or sallmonella? I been using vinagre with garlic alot for the last 6 month and is working fine
I would worm and vaccinate them but I never flock treat the birds with any antibiotics. If they look great use natural health products. Treat a sick individually with antibiotics if you want but flock treating with antibiotics will make your pigeons weaker.
Buenas noches sr. Frank, en que tiendas de U.S.A. puedo comprar los productos de la marca COMED, aparte de la tienda MERCASISTEM, ya que tienen agotados los productos que usted se refiere en esté video, le agradeceria mucho su apoyo, salufos desde Tepic, Nayarit, México.
I would use the same schedule for the young bird team. I use the young bird season as experience for old birds to see what is good. I do not do any of the extras for the young birds. I do have the mix in the water when they return from the races and maybe apple cider Sunday and Monday. If you are a serious young bird fancier use this system. Off season and molting I give all the mineral mixes and good grain mix. Off season, maybe vitamins ounce a week and rarely anything else but nutrition and minerals. My birds do not need natural products to stay super healthy.
You should be able to find some old bird results here: pigeon-ndb.com/ewinspeed/report/ I race in the Braintreee SNE Club in the Southern New England Combine. I race the hens under Dan McLaughlin and the cocks under Frank McLaughlin. I race in the toughest club in the combine. I used the first race for training and then got going after that. Take a look at Old birds 2022, and before. I use young bird racing for experience and training and did not race 2022 young birds.
i probably said this on some other videos, but was re watching this one and wanted to comment (i hear it helps the You Tube standings also) when you can get a product that is certified for humans (at least here in the USA) buy that instead of one "for animals" because they tend to be held to a higher standard. never, EVER trust honey that isnt from a named apiary or a trusted beekeeper. its not hard to find one with the name of a local beekeeper on it, but big name "honey" often is adulterated. i buy from "the Bee Folks" based in Maryland, but honestly any good health food store, or farm market, or Wegman;'s willl have some 'local honey' the probiotics, and the Red Cell will both be in the horse section in the local Tractor Supply if you have one!
yeah, sadly "big honey" is bog money, and its easy to admix real honey with corn syrup, or make up entirely fake honey... so its always safer to buy it from a known beekeeper. Incidentally, i... think you are in Mass? a lot of the renn fair and SCA folks travel up and down the coast, so if you dont have a local person, i know The bee Folks travel up to New Hampshire once a year... i am fairly certain they either go to Massachusets or know good apiary folks @@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons
I used to race twenty some years ago. had to give it up, work family you know. No, I'm getting close to retirement age and want to get pigeons again. So, Back when I was racing. I took all the advice from the old time flyers. They all pretty much say the same thing. After a race give this give that don't forget those. Before breeding do this after that. Well my birds never fared well in the races. So I got to thinking. How does a marathon runner take care of their body. Certainly not with a bunch of chemicals / poison. So I started going to health food And nutrition stores and buying different products for health and cleansing. Well wouldn't you know it, My bird started catching up and beating the old timers. Made them nervous. They certainly noticed the difference asking Asking me what i'm doing with my birds to make them improve. I just politely said everything you guys are telling me. All those herbal supplements also made the loft smell like an italian restaurant. Seriously.
This is great to hear and I know winning big with natural products can be done because I do it. Hope many go with natural products and stop all the antibiotic craziness. The sport and the pigeons will be much better for it. The health problems with young birds are terrible and maybe all the antibiotics over the last 30 years maybe the reason for this.
I vaccinate all the stock pigeons each year about a month before breeding. I use a PMV/Salmonella combo. When you say "Clean them out"? I do not medicate the pigeons ever. I worm the birds but no antibiotic flock treatments ever. I will treat a sick bird individually. My pigeons keep getting stronger.
The herbs may have antibiotic properties but are not antibiotics. Last two years I have used almost exclusively plain water and the results have still be excellent.
UPLOADED VIDEO AGAIN TO IMPROVE QUALITY. HOPE YOU ENJOY. FRANK MCLAUGLHIN
Great video's frank. Regarding the yellow drops, we use kusuri acriflavine 1% here in the UK as we can no longer get the yellow drops. Its originally for pond fish. Its not expensive either. Regards david
Hi David, That is correct and it is the same stuff. You can save some money also.
I am a new flyer and It works great for me I won champion loft, master loft, average speed and champion bird on my young bird A series season.
Congratulations on your success! I am so happy for you.
A very good pro-biotic is Yakult .They sell it here in small plastic bottles and i use 1 bottle on 1 kg food .And i use 2 days a week Sedochol, it cleans the blood .But like you said ,Comed has very good products .
Sounds like great stuff. Sedochol is Vitamin K I think. Excellent products
It was truly amazing and thumbs up for me, that is what I am looking for. A simple system that is all natural that really works, and practical and it’s economically sustainable. Thanks again Frank I enjoyed watching all the educational videos.
Really works. Glad you liked it!
Enjoyed it very much Frank please keep making them.
Happy you enjoyed. I will keep trying to improve and offer some interesting content.
Well done frank the natural way is the way forward
Thank you Adrian. I know it can be done because I did it.
Great advice again … try to list schedule in order … thanks again 😮
Hi Mr McLaughlin. Great video thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for the great videos Mr Frank
Glad you like them!
Please make future videos on what you give the birds during moulting and off season👍
I can certainly do an off season video but I do not do anything special. Just the good feed and minerals through the molt and then cheap feed and minerals in the winter and non molting times.

You Have an African Grey Parrot, Very Nice Sir I heard that they are Very Intelligent and they live for a Long Time.
He is a great bird. A bit shy but loves me. Endless vocabulary but I would not recommend getting one. They need endless attention and will get into everything. Like having a two year old child forever.
Great video ! Thanks for sharing Frank !!
So happy you liked it!
Awesome Frank thanks again for all yr info, I have the best looking Fabry's around, thanks again for yr help!!🙏👍
You have another coming your way! Thank you, Frank
Thanks again this is information I can’t get anywhere else
You are too nice. Happy you enjoyed.
I just finished ordering all this stuff can’t wait for the season to start
You will like it. Stay natural and your birds will benefit over time.
Not sure if you saw my message earlier. Here goes again. You’ve shown us your hen loft but could you give us a loft tour of your other lofts and show how the ventilation works. 1:12
I will try to do couple short videos showing some of the other lofts and how they work. Need to do some cleaning before I film. lol
@@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons thanks
Great!! Yet again Frank you show products not usually popular here in our country...and that's super!!! The only problem is how to purchase those products... hahahaha
Hopefully you can find similar products or the exact. What country are you in?
Philippines...I have watched all your videos and I recommended it to my friend Don Ortañez and he already has emailed you...
We are planning to get some of your birds but we are hoping we can get them directly at your lofts...
Great Information
Glad you think so! Thank you!
Hi

Thanks Frank!

Hi Frank, thanks for the advice, just to confirm, the products you listed to give on Saturday when birds return from a race, are they all added together in the water?
Yes, I put all the products together in the water. Works great

Have you given your birds Tea tree oil mixed into the water in liquid form..? If so what have you noticed the benefits. Cheers
I am not familiar with Tea Tree Oil. Sorry about that.
Thank you
Hi. Can we find this products in Europe? or we must look for alternatives.?
You can find very similar products but some are available in Europe.
thank you for your videos , I find them educational , how do i obtain your steps as a reference sheets , thank you rod
Hi Rod, It is going to be a video book by the time I am finished. I have about one million more in my head. Thank you, Frank

Hi Frank, you didn't mention how much wind mix and brewers yeast you added to the feed? Can you please let me know. Thanks!
Hi Jon, I really do not measure it and add until the grain will not hold any more of the products. Some will not stick to the feed and falls off. Best to add until the grain is covered completely. There is always some wasted.
I hear a parrot in the background. I have an Umbrella Cockatoo. What do you have?
I have a Congo African Grey. He talks like crazy. Super tame for me but does not like my wife very much.

Gracias, excelentes videos informativos, llevare a cabo su sistema natural@@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons
Frank, do you still use Red Cell weekly? I’ve only used it during the off-season and during breeding. Thanks in advance
Yes I do! I may miss a week here and there but try to use weekly at 1 Teaspoon to the gallon mostly for the iodine.
Good morning Frank, is there a 7 day schedule for YB’s, YL’s, OB’s on off season and molting 😮
I would use the same schedule for the young bird team. I use the young bird season as experience for old birds to see what is good. I do not do any of the extras for the young birds.

Hello sir im from philiippines
Hello there! Glad you like my videos.
Most of that products we don't get in South Africa
I an help find similar products in South Africa that can be used in it's place.
i probably said this on some other videos, but was re watching this one and wanted to comment (i hear it helps the You Tube standings also)
when you can get a product that is certified for humans (at least here in the USA) buy that instead of one "for animals" because they tend to be held to a higher standard.

the probiotics, and the Red Cell will both be in the horse section in the local Tractor Supply if you have one!
Great tip on the honey. I will buy from my local bee keepers going forward. Thank you for this.

Just bought the vbg kinda pricey!!
It goes a long way. The $90 bottle makes over 900 gallons of water.
@@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons that’s the one I got!
Frank the volumen is too low
I have another video to do tomorrow that will be my best ever. I am learning.
How often do you vaccinate your stockbirds and do you clean them.out after every round of babies bred
I vaccinate all the stock pigeons each year about a month before breeding. I use a PMV/Salmonella combo. When you say "Clean them out"? I do not medicate the pigeons ever. I worm the birds but no antibiotic flock treatments ever. I will treat a sick bird individually. My pigeons keep getting stronger.
Vbg avian solution we don't have in my country is their a similar product to use
I would buy a great oregano product. There has to be a good strong one available.
Vă rog să traduceți în română
I will try.
Never by fake honey.
Buy from an actual bee keeper or a store that carries honey from a bee keeper
Great advice. I will look for local honey.
@@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons cheap honey is just refined sugar.
Local honey has all the good stuff from your area. Cheers! 🇨🇦🧂
You do not race antibiotic free. The organic herbs that you use contain antibiotic properties
The herbs may have antibiotic properties but are not antibiotics. Last two years I have used almost exclusively plain water and the results have still be excellent.
I hope no one is taking advice from this guy. Jesus Christ.
Please explain? Advice from me or from Jesus Christ.
