honey ?

how do you use Honey for when a pigeon comes back from a hard race ? do you mix in to the water of put on to food ?

Honey is a fantastic natural antiseptic i mix it in the water, try the extract from honey propoilis

thanks ken there are so many kinds of honey do you make it the night before and howw much to say a pint of water ?

Rene i make it the night before two big teaspoons in warm water not hot, if you make it with piping hot water to take away all the goodness, so the water only needs to be warm enough to desolve the Honey. Rene you can also add a touch of lemon juice to it as well

ok thans for that ken il try it this wee for wen the birds come ome from the messac race see if it make any difference to them

yes, give it a try rene, ive heard a lot of fanciers give it for when they come home from racing.........think i will be using it when the yb season starts or maybe electrolytes, i havnt decided yet but they do need something to help them recover when they get home,p.s. some use glucose so ive heard.....?
