Kim - Our Daughter and President of the Cooperation.

Ryan Jr. - Ryan is 4th generation of the

family involved in Foy’s, his picture has

been in every catalog since 2009, and he

is now 11 years old.

Gina - Our Daughter, A 20 year Navy veteran,

Gina is in charge of Inventory, and anything

else that's needs her attention.

Sherry - Sherry joined us in 2007 and is one

of those great employees that can do just

about anything needed. Currently handles

packing and takes many phone orders.

Sam – Our Granddaughter who can do

just about anything needed. She is in

charge of the warehouse, forklift, operations

and pulling/packing orders.

Veronica - Catalog designer, website creator,

website sales, creator of all our ads and all

computer stuff.

After 18 years at the old building, we moved to a much more

convenient building. It is all on one floor. The new facility

includes offices (4), packing areas (3), and store with most

products on shelves with a display of many of the baskets

we stock. Connected directly to the packing area with direct

access to the warehouse. The approximately 6000 square

feet of storage, contains all of our bulk feeds, shelf after

shelf of what we call hard goods. The hard goods include

feeders, drinkers, baskets, floor grill, tobacco stems, nest

bowls, perches, nest boxes, nest fronts, lots of books, and

much, much more. The warehouse also includes a full size

forklift and a forklift for narrow spaces. There is also a loading

dock where trucks may back in for unloading as well as

a place to unload all the international containers. With all this

new space, we still use two other off site storage buildings. One of the biggest benefits to our visiting customers is the location. We are on Rte.

51 which is also called Constitution Blvd. This location is accessed from the Pennsylvania Turnpike or Rte. 376. The address is for the city of

New Brighton, which is our mailing address, but we are across the river from New Brighton. We encourage our customers to visit during normal

business hours, 9-5 and we are opened Monday thru Friday, but if you would like to visit on a weekend, arrangements could be made. The new

location, as of March 2017, is about 20 minutes from the old location, but if you want to visit our lofts, you must call and let us know. My lofts

are at our old location, just outside of Beaver Falls, Pa.


5 JERRY'S TIPS PRICES ON FEEDING SUBJECT TO - WATER CHANGE- FEED - CARE

5

There is no product anyone sells that will replace sound loft management. If you are a beginner or “old pro”, it makes good sense to invest in a

good book that will answer many basic or often complex questions. #9037 or #804 are both good books which cover all phases of pigeon raising.

The book on pigeon health that I recommend is #805 or #9005. If you are in the white dove release business, I suggest "White Pigeons, The Color

of Money".

FEEDING

If you fly, show or race your birds, you must control the feed consumption. If you feed your birds and after 20 minutes or so, there is still feed left,

you are feeding too much. If they eat everything but leave some that they don’t like, I give them the leftovers the next day. Do not allow uneaten

feed to stay on the floor overnight, it will become contaminated and may result in sick birds. I suggest feeding twice a day, morning and evening.

I strongly recommend that you do your best to feed a mixed grain or pellet that is made for pigeons.

WATER

Many diseases are transmitted through the drinking water. It seems like birds think of their drinking water as a target. I’ve yet to find a waterer that

the birds can’t foul. It is a must to change water every day, twice a day is even better. When adding medications or vitamins to the water, it is even

more important to change the water every day. If you place the water drinker in the same place every day, make sure the area under and around the

drinker is dry. Dampness creates a perfect environment for disease to develop. I move my waterer from place to place, thus allowing each location

to dry. My favorite drinker and the only one I use is the #315 Large Ideal Drinker. It is easy to clean and holds a gallon, which is important when

adding medications, vitamins, etc. to the water. When the directions are to add to a gallon of water, I do not have to measure out a gallon of the

water. I just add the product and fill the pan. I also do not use a heater. I just use two bowls for each pen, bring a clean one out, and bring the

used one back in the house for cleaning. Keep in mind that if you use lots of Apple Cider Vinegar, stay away from metal drinkers. This is true of

any product that is acidic. The acid eats away at the metal. The same is true of grit.

GRIT

Grit consumption changes from season to season. When you are breeding, they seem to eat more grit than feed. The reason for this is the production

of eggs in the hen and the mating process. Make sure good clean grit is in front of them at all times. Do not rely on granite grit alone. Your

birds need grit containing trace minerals. If you are using granite grit for chickens, I would suggest you add grit concentrate, #676, to your grit. If

you are using a regular pigeon grit, keep it clean and fresh. I use pigeon grit, but also add pick pots, #5062. The bird’s body tells it what it needs

and you’ll notice a change in consumption as the seasons change.

OVERCROWDING

Birds are very fast breeders and without planning, most people have too many birds. Never a day goes by that when I ask a fancier how many

birds they have, the answer is “too many”. If you don’t have the heart to cull or a way to dispose of birds, plan for the future. The best thing to do

is to separate all your hens and cocks and put them together only when it is breeding season. Another method is the use of wood or plastic eggs,

#155 or #157. Dispose of a freshly laid set of eggs and the birds will set the dummy eggs for up to three weeks, thus slowing down the young bird

production.

Have you thought of throwing one egg, from each clutch, away? When the pair raises only one young at a time, the young are usually healthier

and grow faster. If you allow your loft to become overcrowded, disease will pay your birds a visit.

FLOOR COVERING

Nothing is more important than having a dry loft. Over the years I have tried just about every type of floor covering. In 2008, I ordered a new

product from Belgium called Natural Granulated Floor Covering. The floor covering is a natural product consisting of lava drawn from the subsoil

and has exceptional absorbing power. A very dry floor helps stop the contamination cycle of parasites such as Coccidiosis and eggs of intestinal

worms. I used a small pitch fork to pick up the clumps under perching areas and rake the floor. I replace the floor covering once or twice a year.

I think this is the best floor covering you could possibly use. The next best would be sand, followed by corn cob. Do not use straw or hay, as it

holds moisture. Shavings and sawdust are messy and dusty.

FEED

I strongly suggest you feed mixed grain pigeon feed or pigeon pellets, and suggest you stay away from scratch feed or poultry pellets. If you can

not find a pigeon feed in your area, check with the companies that advertise in this catalog. They may know someone in your area. Breeders may

share with you where they get their feed. Keeping your feed vermin proof is very important, and a plastic or metal barrel with a lid, is a good way to

do that. I use a 5 gallon bucket with a lid to hold feed in small loft sections and most of the time I use plastic trash cans with a lid.

GENERAL INFORMATION

If there was just one loft management plan, I’d write a book about it. A sound plan really is one that works for you and most importantly, works for

the well being of your pigeons. The plan is really based on you, the breed(s) you raise, what part of the country you are in and whether you show,

race, fly or use your birds for ceremonies. Other variables include loft location, type of feed, the hours you have available and on and on.

There are some basics however. I talk to people all day about the health of their pigeons. Most people do not vaccinate and all people should. It is

something anyone can do. You need to vaccinate for Paramyxovirus (PMV) and Paratyphoid (Salmonella). The PMV and Paratyphoid may be done

at the same time, and the best place to vaccinate the bird is behind the neck. I still use the regular syringe and needles #177 and #505 on page

33. Should you have a question or concern in regards to vaccinating, call Jerry at Foy's.


6 JERRY'S PRICES TIPS SUBJECT ON PIGEON TO CHANGE HEALTH

I am not a big believer in using antibiotics or medicines as preventatives. I think you should have medications on hand in case of an outbreak. I do

believe you should treat, before breeding, for worms, Canker and Coccidiosis. We have individual treatments for all three. You should rotate, from

time to time, to prevent your birds from building up a resistance. 3-1 Powder treats worms, canker and coccidiosis.

What should I have on hand? I tell people to try to prevent and treat only if you must. Yes, you should have a few meds on hand, but with today's

fast shipping, most products would be received in 2-3 days. I would suggest having on hand, products for canker, worms and Coccidiosis. That

product would be 3-1 Powder (#2500).

One eyed colds are quite common and sometimes all you need to do is remove the perch. Some birds roost in a draft and you do not even know

it. If moving the perch doesn't help, I would try Spiradox Tablets or 1 Drop 1 Eye 1 Time. A good treatment for Paratyphoid (Salmonella) is Furazolidone,

Furaltadone 20% or Typhoid Cure.

Coccidiosis is easy to control, but keep in mind that Coccidiosis will develop resistance to a drug and I strongly suggest you rotate drugs after 2

or 3 uses. Testing your droppings, through Foy's, will reveal many problems such as Coccidiosis and Worms.

I like to keep tablets around to treat individual birds when it is the only bird that is ill in my whole flock. I segregate it and treat individually. If I am

not sure what the problem is, I use Divet or Amoxicillin tablets. If I suspect Canker, I would suggest Aviotrich Tablets and if I suspect worms I would

try Wormout Plus Tablets or Ekto/Endo. The best thing to do, when not sure what the problem is, would be to SEND IN A SAMPLE OF THE

DROPPINGS. We have a Vet, who is also a pigeon fancier, as an associate. He will look at the droppings under a microscope, and in most cases,

tell you what the problem is and suggest a method of treatment. For more information and how to send the droppings, please go to page

17.

Parasites are always a problem. I dip my birds in a 5 gallon bucket, with about 3 gallons of warm water, mixed with Permectrin II, as directed.

Dusting also helps control parasites on the birds, although most drop off when the birds fly. I would suggest Diatomaceous Earth as a dusting

powder. #572 Bug Spray does an excellent job. Do not dip birds on a hot day.

Be sure to remember that when you use any drug on a pigeon, you must not eat them. No one really knows how long it takes for a drug to clear

out of a pigeon’s system. If you’re raising them to eat, then make it natural for your health’s sake.

Foy's was founded in 1883 and we are enjoying the 135th year of the company known as Foy's. We purchased the company in 2000, and we

are just the third family to own the company. The company is owned by Vickie and Jerry Gagne. My daughter, Kim Hare, is the president of Foy's.

Employees include Gina, another daughter, is in charge of inventory control and any other job requiring her attention. Sherry, who is enjoying twelve

years of service, Veronica's our web designer,advertising design expert and 5 year employee, Sam is my Granddaughter and packs, forklift driver,

handles the phone and is there whenever we need muscle.

I spend a lot of my time talking or answering e-mail inquiries, in regards to health concerns with pigeons. I welcome your calls, and will do my

very best to help, but you should be prepared to answer questions, which will help me help you. I strongly suggest you try to develop a relationship

with a veterinarian when possible. Some of the questions I will ask, and I hope you will be able to answer; What do the birds look like? How do

they act? What color are their droppings? What kind of pigeons do you have? Do you feed grains or pellets? What treatments have

you tried and for how long? There will be other questions based on your answers, but the initial questions are very important. Over the years I

have had thousands of discussions of health issues in regards to pigeons. Over the last few years, I have compiled a list on issues and answers to

questions asked. I add to this list on a regular basis, and this information is supplied to all of Foy's employees to use when asked about a pigeon's

health issues. If you would like a copy of the HEALTH TIPS I have created, contact Foy's on how to get the exact same pamphlet I have created

for all of our employees. Jerry’s health tips are available. I write health tips based on all the questions I receive from customers, and offer these to

my employees, as an aid in answering questions and learning more about pigeon health. If you would like a copy of these, JERRY’S TIPS may be

purchased for only $10.00, this includes postage. Ask for #9009, JERRY’S HEALTH TIPS.

We sell quite a few perches and each fills a particular need or situation. I raise solid (White) Racing Homers, regular Racing Homers, and

unusual colored Homers. Because I am trying to save cleaning time, I find that my favorite perches are the Space Saver and the Block Perch. The

question arises about bird droppings hitting the bird on the perch below. If your birds are healthy it is like water off a ducks back. Recent addition

of the nest box choices has created new favorites, once more, because they are easy to clean. I use all the different nest boxes so that I may share

my favorites. I use different feeders depending on my needs. All of my lofts use the wood feeder with guard. I use the #1073 for grit, and each of

the other sizes #1070, #1074 or #1075, depending on the number of birds in each section,

I realize that many who receive this catalog are just beginning in pigeons and here are some random hints: It is OK to handle eggs or young

in the nest. I have switched young around from nest to nest, as long as the age is close to the same. Birds do not need a bath, but do love to take

baths. Dump the bath water as soon as they stop using it. All birds should be vaccinated to prevent PMV, Pigeon Pox, and Paratyphoid. Change

the drinking water every day. Separate the young into a separate section as soon as they are old enough. You can tell if the young is old enough

by checking under the wings. If you see no bare skin, then the bird is old enough to be moved.

I certainly hope this information is of some use to you and remember….the reason we have so many choices is that everyone has a different

idea or need.

7 JERRY'S TIPS - NEW PRICES BIRDS SUBJECT - DISEASE TO - CHANGE BREEDING - FEED AND GRIT

NEW BIRDS IN THE LOFT

I receive so many questions in regards to sickness in a loft. In a great

majority of the questions, I find out that the breeder has recently

added new birds to the loft, and did not quarantine the birds for a

period of time. You may be adding perfectly healthy birds, but either

your birds or the new birds are not resistant to the same strains of a

disease, and sickness may be introduced to the loft. It is best, if possible,

to keep the birds in a separate building, if this is not an option,

keep the new birds separate as much as possible. Separation should

be for a minimum of 30 days. While in quarantine, keep a close watch

and make sure the birds are healthy. You may want to treat with 3-1

powder which treats the 3 most common problems that pigeons

have. If you observe what you think might be a problem, call us at

Foy’s and we will discuss it. Over crowding your loft is an invitation for

disease to rear it’s ugly head. The birds are in the best health during

cold months, but in the warm weather, over crowding will create problems

in a hurry. A cubic meter would be approximately 40”high X 40”

wide X 40” long. This is the space one pigeon would take.

DISEASE BY NAME

• PMV - Birds should not be vaccinated any earlier than 3 weeks of

age. Symptoms become worse when the bird is under any type

of stress. Vaccination during an outbreak is recommended. An

improvement may be noticed in the droppings and the watery

appearance will improve. No improvement to the symptoms

such as shaking, twisted neck, flying irrationally, will occur after

vaccination. Serious loft cleaning and regular disinfection of food

and water containers with bleach is suggested. Young birds need

two shots. They have not developed any immune system and the

first shot is a primer. The second shot, 30 days later, is the anti

body. Adult Birds: The first shot delivers the immunity and the

second is a booster.

• Coccidiosis - Treatments should be rotated between 2 or 3

different products as resistance to a particular product develops

after just a few treatments.

• Canker - Treatment should also be rotated between products to

prevent resistance.

• One Eye Colds - A wet eye may be an early sign of Ornithosis or

may simply be a result of injury. It may also be the result of a

draft or poor ventilation. If it is a harmless inflammation it will

disappear as a result of isolation in a warm, draft free location in

as short a period as 24 hours.

• Adenovirus - Large volume of droppings, foul smelling and green

in color. Many times complicated by e-coli and often result in

rapidly lost condition and high death rate.

• Worms - Pigeons with hairworms are very prone to Coccidiosis.

Coccidiosis is resistant to treatment until the hairworm is controlled.

• Pigeon Pox - Adult pigeons can show lesions and be completely

symptom free within three to four weeks, or more.

• Herpes Virus - In young birds, symptoms include being hunched

up, fluffed feathers and they move jerkily. Odd head positions

and crooked neck are common. Adult birds may act depressed,

lose weight, have nasal discharge, dirty wattles and yellowish

liquid in the mouth.

• Mycoplasmosis - Many times slime found in the throat and

threads of slime run from the throat to the roof of the mouth. You

can sometimes press down on the nostrils and push out slime.

• Ulcerative Enteritis - Symptoms include the sudden onslaught of

profuse, smelly diarrhea followed by sudden weight loss. The crop

may be filled with undigested seeds.

• PMV and Paratyphoid - Vaccines may be given simultaneously to

adult birds.

Paratyphoid- I am of the opinion that Paratyphoid is an epidemic in

this country and is a very difficult disease to get rid of. Symptoms may

include some or all. Twisted Neck, difficulty in flying or eating, dropped

wing, wing boil, limp, green droppings, young dying in the shell, one

young dies in the nest and the other seems fine, young dying after

they are weaned and more. As you will no doubt realize, it is difficult

to diagnose Paratyphoid, if you have concerns that your birds have

Paratyphoid, contact Foy’s.

BREEDING SEASON

I always recommend separating the hens and cocks when you are

done with the breeding, until the next breeding season. If you are unable

to do this, close off access to the nest boxes, Yes, some will insist

on breeding and lay eggs on the floor, but you cannot stop that.

Separating gives them a break and time to rest from the stress of

mating, laying eggs, and caring for young. Pigeons lay two egg, and

the incubation does not start until the second egg is laid. Pigeons

must be offered a nest box, nest bowl and in most cases, nesting

material such as tobacco stems or straw, not hay. Some breeders

use only beach sand. The cock sets the eggs from about 11 A.M. to

4 P.M. the hen the rest of the time. If you want to know which is the

hen, go in a dusk or night, she will be on the eggs. I mark my cocks

with a blue marker band and my hens with a pink. If you want to

reduce the number of young you raise, throw one of the eggs away,

the one resulting young will usually be stronger as it does not have

to compete for food. You can switch eggs and young around, just so

they are about the same age. You can handle the eggs at any time.

If you do not want to raise any more young, give the pair a bit of

rest, and replace the eggs with false eggs. Breeding is stressful, this

is a good time to supplement the feed or water with vitamins and

probiotics, a good choice is Ultra Pro. Pigeon grit is a must during

breeding season.

FEED & GRIT

I would not recommend any feed accept feed made for pigeons.

Mixed grains or pigeon pellets are the best. If you are medicating

your birds with a med that ends in “cycline” take the grit away

Grit is a must, and once again, I recommend a pigeon grit, not a

poultry grit. If you can not get pigeon grit, consider our Grit Concentrate,

added to poultry grit. Lack of grit could result in rough or soft

eggs, and sometimes it will result in a temporary inability to walk,

due to lack of calcium, right after the hen lays.

MISCELLANEOUS

• High pitched whooping sounds may not be respiratory. It could

be a small feather or grain husk caught against the windpipe. It,

will most of the time, work its way out.

• A chest that blows up like a balloon may be caused by a ruptured

air sac leaking under the skin. This many times is caused during

flight and is probably due to a blow or strain. Usually, all that is

needed is rest but air can be bled thru a hypodermic needle.


8 JERRY'S PRICES SUBJECT MISCELLNEOUS TO CHANGE TIPS

8

• Amprolium - Do not combine with anything containing Vitamin

B during and for a few days after using amprolium.

• Oxytetracycline - May be combined with Tylan.

• Chlortetracycline - May be combined with Tylan.

• Tylan - May be combined with Oxytetracycline and Chlortetracycline.

• Doxycycline - May be combined with Tylan.

• Grit - If you are using any medicine that the name ends with

"cycline", take away the grit.

• Eggs hatch 18 days after the second egg is laid.

• Wet or discolored nose wattles are an indication of an upper

respiratory problem. It also may be there because they are

feeding young.

• If you have had pigeon flies in your birds, do not use loft

scrapings in or near gardens or flower beds. Newly hatched

pigeon flies will return to the loft.

• Think long and hard about introducing new pigeons, especially

youngsters, into your loft. Your birds could infect the new birds

or the new birds could infect young birds.

• Add 2 cc Ivermectin Inj. to each gallon of bath water. It will kill

lice and if they drink it, it will help worm but may not be strong

enough to be counted on as a complete wormer.

• Put your perches on one wall, when possible, this will make it

easier to clean up droppings which will mostly be under the

perches.

• Ronidazole is the most popular Canker treatment, but has been

used for so long, that pigeons have started to resists it’s benefits.

The 10% is no longer strong enough, double the normal dosage

of the 10% Ronidazole or switch to the stronger Ronidazole 25%.

• Pigeons moult once a year. If you notice feathers all over the loft,

and this continues for a period of time, your flock is most likely

going thru the moult. There will be all kind of feathers, not just the

large wing feathers. Give consideration to a product designed to

create a good moult.

• Do not give Garlic before a race or flight.

• Want to add weight to your pigeons? Try raw peanuts, unsalted

of course.

• If your birds go light at about two weeks old, parents stop feeding,

parents drink a lot of water and the parents go crazy for grit and eat

just about all the grit you put In front of them, these are typical signs

of Clostridium crop and intestinal infection. Try using a combination

of Muscle & Wing plus Entromune and Avio Gel for 7 days. Dose all

ill birds separately with Muscle & Wing for 7 days.

• If a single bird in the flock shows difficulty in breathing, with a

whistling sound, the most likely causes are either a fungal or

Canker.

• If a squab is Gurgling, it is most common just prior to weaning,

often there appears to be very little wrong with these youngsters

and the problem usually goes away when weaned.

• Metronidazole can be combined with Spiramycin. This combination

is highly effective against enteritis and respiratory infections.

• The difference between bacterial infections and viruses is that you

can kill bacterial infections with antibiotics but you cannot kill

viruses. The virus must run its course.

• Try swapping drugs from time to time. When you use one drug too

long, the effects will gradually be reduced.

• When using drugs, follow the directions and complete the treatment

as directed. If you use it for say 3-4 days and not the 7 days as

directed, you may be doing more harm than good.

• If you have a history of Canker problems, treat before breeding

season and check the young in the nest on a regular basis. You

may use some canker meds while the birds are laying on eggs.

Pigeons may have Canker with no sign of the yellow cheesy stuff

most fanciers look for. Ronidazole is a very safe Canker med.

• On occasion, a young in the nest will develop spread leg. One leg

will stick out from the body. This is almost always caused by a

smooth surface in the nest bowl, and there is only one young in the

nest. If older than 10 days this condition is irreversible.

• You should not use most antibiotics when you have very young

birds in the nest. The use of Ampicillin, doxycycline, baytril (enro

floxin), streptomycin and gentamycin should not be considered.

• Ivermectin, Baytril (enrofloxin), gentamycin and metronidazole,

used during the breeding season, may cause infertility.

• Without Vitamin D3, calcium cannot be absorbed from the gut.

In addition to Grit, give products that include Vitamin D3 It is very

important to pigeons that they receive a continuous intake of

calcium, during the breeding season. Give the hens calcium after

the breeding season.

• Garlic is very useful for pigeons. The Alkaloids of Garlic affect

bacteria directly, just like antibiotics, but without major side effects.

• Paratyphoid and Salmonella are the same thing.

• When you are advised to quarantine your birds, if possible, the

quarantined pigeons should not even share air space with the other

birds. Quarantine should be a minimum of 30 days.

• Pigeons molt once a year, and if you used a drug, during the molt,

you should not have. The effects will last for the next 12 months.

• If you have “HARD” water, it may ruin some drugs. Tetracycline or

gentamycin in particular. Boil the “Hard” water beforehand.

• Aloe vera strengthens the immune system and hastens recovery

after illness.

• When using tetracyclines, combine with apple cider vinegar.

• You may want to consider feeding your flying youngsters a high

protein diet, not over 18%. This higher protein diet encourages

growth and development. When you’re flying breeds begin to fly

longer periods, say up to an hour, modify the diet to a lower protein.

• Want to put weight on your birds, try adding raw whole peanuts to

the birds diet. Peanuts contain almost 50% fat and 30% protein.

Add 6-7 peanuts per bird on average would be enough, for Racing

Homers, building up reserves and stamina, peanuts may be the

way to go.

• Tobacco Stems are good nesting material and help reduce

parasites. Try soaking them and shaping them to fit inside the

bowl.

• Enteritis means an inflammation of the digestive tract.

• Keep your carrying baskets clean. Parasites will live in the basket as

it collects droppings. Clean it and disinfect it regularly.

HOW CAN THIS BE?

Years ago I was entering my loft and one of my white pigeons flew the

coop. I thought I would never see the bird again, as it had never been

flown. Three days later as I was exiting the front door of my residence, as

I opened the door there was the white pigeon hanging on my screen door.

I was shocked. I opened the door, caught the bird, and placed it in my loft.

To this day, I cannot figure out how this bird found its way to my front door

and I will chalk it up as a miracle.

Feather Lice

Symptoms:

Small black lice can be seen on feathers next to the shaft. Constant

preening. Lice do not cause any disease but is a sign of better care

needs to be taken into consideration.

How do you diagnose?:

You should see them with the naked eye, but may want to use a

magnifying glass.

Prevention:

Regularly dipping the birds in Permectrin II as directed.

Spray suspected cases with Secticide.

Treatment:

Spray, dip or powder. Secticide Spray, Permectrin II or Poultry Dust on

a bi-monthly program until the problem is solved.

Pigeon Fly

From a family of biting flies, the most common is the Pigeon Fly.

Symptoms:

Restlessness

Stamping of feet

Fast moving fly between the feathers

Carrier of Malaria in pigeons

How do I know if I have pigeon flies?:

Close examination of the birds feathers, the fly will dart in and out,

trying to hide.

Prevention:

Clean all the nest bowls, nest boxes and loft, regularly. Do not dump

loft droppings close to the loft. Prevent any strange pigeons from

entering the loft. If you use the deep litter system, do not allow dampness.

Spray all the birds, if possible, every eight weeks. Be sure to

spray under the wings and all the tail feathers.

Red Mites

Symptoms:

Pigeons become restless especially in the evening. Mites move to the

pigeons in the evening. Mites feed on pigeons sucking blood in the

evening. They breed in the loft but not on the pigeons. They live in

cracks and crevices.

Diagnosis:

Place cotton balls in the loft after dark. Examine the cotton balls in

the daylight to see small pin head sized red mites.

Prevention/Treatment:

Regular effective disinfection of the loft with a pyrethrum product

such as Bug Spray #572. Spray every 2 months. Apply Ekto/Endo

#2516 to the back of the neck as directed. Perch Oil #7032 has been

proven to be very effective against Red Mites.

Scaly-Leg Mite

A burrowing skin mite. Sometimes will burrow under the skin of the

feet and lay their eggs in tunnels that they create when they entered.

They may be seen on any part of the body and cause irritation. Another

common spot to find them is under the beak in the crop area.

They leave bald spots on the chest and top of the head.

Treatment and Prevention:

Treatment and prevention is accomplished using Ivermectin or Moxidectin

#585. The use of Ekto/Endo has proven very effective, #2516

and rotate with #2514. Many times it only affects one or two birds in

the loft.

INTERNAL PARASITES

Roundworms

Symptoms:

Lethargic, fluffed up

Loss of weight

Slimy wet droppings

Death of youngsters as a result of blockage of the intestines.

Transmission:

Adult worms lay eggs in the intestine.

Worms pass thru the droppings.

Eggs have to be in a moist warm environment for a few days for the

larval stage to develop.

Infected eggs are picked up and eaten.

Larvae are released in the intestine of pigeons.

Larvae grow to adults that start laying eggs within 14 days

Larvae migrate to the liver and lungs.

Diagnosis:

Microscopic examination will identify the worm eggs. Necropsy will

revel large pink/white worms in the intestines of pigeons.

Prevention:

Keep loft dry and clean.

Keep carrying baskets clean.

Prevent strange pigeons from entering loft.

New birds should be segregated, for 30-60 days, and treated before

mixing with other birds.

Treat preventively every 8-12 weeks.

Treatment:

Piperazine/Wazine #580

Levamisole #2523

Fenbendazole (Wormout Gel) #74

Pyrantel (Avioworm) #2515

Ivermectin #581

Ekto/Endo #2516

Hairworms

Symptoms:

Lethargic and do not want to fly long. Wet droppings, sometimes

with a spot of blood. Dramatic weight loss. Death in youngsters due

to anemia.

Transmission:

Adult worms lay large number of eggs in the pigeons intestine. Worm

eggs are passed thru the droppings. Larval stage develops in the

egg. Worms eggs develop in a moist worm environment. Infected

eggs are eaten by the pigeons. Larvae grow to adults in 14 days

Diagnosis:

Microscope will find them in the droppings. Necropsy will find them in

the intestine.

Prevention:

Keep lofts clean and dry. Make sure all your carrying baskets are

cleaned effectively and all droppings removed. Prevent stray birds

from entering the loft. Segregate all new birds for 30-60 days before

mixing with current birds. Treat preventatively every 8-12 weeks.

Treatment:

Piperazine/Wazine #580 Levamisole #2523

Fenbendazole (Wormout Gel) #74 Pyrantel (Avioworm) #2515

Ivermectin #581

Ekto/Endo #2516

Recommended Treatment:

Alternate #2515 Avioworm Powder with#2514 Ekto/Endo Tablets every

8 weeks during flying season and show season. In cases of very heavy

worm infestation treat first with Avioworm #2515 and then follow with

Ekto/Endo Tablets #2514 and then repeat the treatment 14 days later

with Ekto/Endo Tablets.

Tapeworms

Symptoms:

Common reason for poor performance. Emaciation (Loss of lots of

weight). Tapeworm segments may be seen hanging out of their rear.

Transmission:

Segments of tapeworm filled with eggs are excreted in the droppings

Eggs are ingested by the intermediate host. The eggs develop in the

host such as ants, snails, beetles and mites. The host is ingested

when the pigeon eats it.

Diagnosis:

Visual examination of the stool will reveal small pin head sized segments.

Prevention:

Strict control of insects in and around the loft. Clean feed to prevent

food lice that may carry the Tapeworms.

Treatment:

Praziquantel which is found in Avioworm Powder #2515, Ekto/Endo

Tablets, Wormout Tablets #38 and Wormout Gel #74.

Lungworms

Symptoms:

Pigeons tend to yawn and keep their beak open for a few seconds

after yawning. Clicking type coughing in the evening. Extremely poor

flying performance. Necropsy will reveal worms in the throat.

Treatment:

Clean loft and loft area. Insect control in and around loft.

Treatments:

Ivomectin #581 is the only effective treatment.

Paratyphoid

Paratyphoid is quite common in pigeons, and prevention attempts are

so important. If you do take preventive steps, you will never know if

you would have got the disease had you done nothing, but is it worth

the risk? Initial symptoms will always be mild to severe enteritis with

green and tinged sloppy wet droppings. In some cases the pigeons

immune system may be strong enough or the bacterial strain may be

weak enough to ensure that the bacteria does not gain entry into the

body. In most cases the bacteria (Paratyphoid) will soon gain entry into

the body and cause infections of the liver. (Hepatitis). The droppings

will become a dark green color signifying sever liver damage. Once

this happens the pigeon becomes severely depressed (fluffed-lethargic)

and will stop eating. The affected pigeons will soon lose a lot of weight

and may succumb from the hepatitis. In most cases; symptoms may

be difficult to distinguish from PMV-1, a virus. Once the infection has

established itself in the ovaries the hen will become a lifelong carrier and

will pass the disease on to her babies via the egg. If the joints become

infected pigeons will develop lameness in the leg of wing and it will

establish itself in the joints. The bacteria will hide in the joint fluid or in

the membrane of the joint. The fact that the normal antibiotics do not

penetrate well into the joint or the brain makes it difficult to eradicate

the bacteria.

Treatment:

It is important to realize that there is a marked difference in treating

the non–systemic form of Paratyphoid compared to the systemic form

(regular) When the bacteria has not yet entered the blood stream and

is only in the intestine, a short course of the treatment with Furaltadone.

Other antibiotics such as Amoxicillin may also be used.

Once the bacteria has however entered the blood stream and a systemic

status develops, a very specific treatment must be followed. At

this stage it is unclear whether and treatment regime has the potential

to clear the true carrier state that exist in some pigeons. It is especially

the joint and the ovarian form that is extremely difficult if not impossible

to clear.

Entromune and Avio-gel combined with an antibiotic, but NOT Furazolidone

or Furaltadone, may be tried. Many times combining two antibiotics

will do the job. Before combining any antibiotics, you should consult

an expert to be sure the combination of antibiotics and the correct dosage.

Typhoid-Cure is an extremely effective combination of antibiotics.

Another effective combination of antibiotics is YBD-cure.

Prevention Program:

Start 10 weeks before the flying, showing or breeding season.

1. Treat all the pigeons for 10 days with Typhoid Cure in the drinking

water. Combine the Typhoid- cure with Avio-gel and Entromune

over the food for the full ten days.

2. Vaccinate all the pigeons using KM-1 on the last day of the

treatment.

3. Continue your normal pre-flying or pre-breeding program.

4. Vaccinate all the pigeons again 2 weeks after the first vaccinations,

once again with KM-1 vaccine. The second vaccination, called the

booster is most important.

5. Leave a one week gap before vaccinating with any other vaccine

such as for PMV-1 or Pigeon Pox.

6. You may use any treatment, including antibiotics when using KM-1

vaccine.

Never a work day goes by at Foy’s without a question in regards to

pigeons. The most common questions are about pigeon, chicken

or cage bird health. I am not a Vet, nor is anyone on our staff. If

you have a serious health issue with your birds, please call a Vet.

I have had pigeons the better part of sixty years, and have read

book after book about bird health. The staff at Foy’s has been

trained by me and also thru repetition. A great majority of the calls

are questions we have been asked many times and the staff most

likely will be able to help you. In a male dominated hobby, many

callers ask for me. I think it is because the caller feels as though

a lady could not possibly know much about pigeons, but believe

me they do. Please explain to one of our staff, what the issues

are, if they do not know or are not sure, they will call me at home.

If you need to call me, please do, but try the store first. I am now

retired from the day to day operation at Foy’s, but like most small

business owners, I am still involved. I still keep 200-300 birds.

Having so many birds, I am always trying to find ways to save time

but still accomplish what I want do. Keeping the birds bug free is

important, and there is nothing easier and better than Permectrin

II. Follow directions, use warm water, spread the wings and tail

and rub the top of the head and the neck under the beak. Give the

product two days and they are bug free and cleaner.

The Gagne family purchased the Foy’s Pigeon Supply Company,

in the year 2000, from Clair and Janice Hetland. The

Hetland’s were from Golden Valley, Minnesota, and operated

the company from there for over 28 years. The Hetalnd’s had

purchased Foy’s from Charles Foy from Clinton Iowa, who was

the son of Frank Foy, who started the business. I have always

thought that Foy’s was founded in 1887, but reading thru an

American Pigeon Journal, from 1922, I came across an article

written by Frank Foy. In this article I read that Foy’s Pigeon Farm

was founded in 1883, in Des Moines, Iowa. So in the year 2018,

Foy’s is now 135 years old and still going strong.

The Gagne family has taken the company back to its roots, by

adding poultry supplies to the products offered. Frank Foy started

the company by selling Pekin duck eggs and eventually adding

live ducks and chickens. Charles Foy took over the business

in the late 1930’s or early 1940,s, and the company became a

pigeon only company, with most of the emphasis on pigeons as

a meat animal, featuring Kings and Carneau pigeons. Charlie

Foy led the business to greatness, building a large and loyal

following. I actually met Charlie Foy at my home in Maine, never

imagining that the Gagne family would sometime own Foy’s.

How that all happened is another story. (By the way, when

Charlie Foy visited my home in Maine, he asked if I was interested

in buying the Foy's business. This was in the mid 60's.)

Clair and Janice Hetland grew the Foy’s company to be many

times larger than the company had ever been. Innovative ideas

and Clair’s background as a pharmacist, allowed the company

to expand the medication line and Clair formulated the biggest

selling vitamin powder in America. He also created a concentrated

grit supplement. The Pigeon Builder vitamin that Clair formulated,

sells well over a ton every year, and the Grit Concentrate

is still an excellent seller, but the availability of commercial

grit, has slowed sales down.

The Gagne Family, in its own right has introduced many innovations.

A website, full color catalog, toll free phone, same

day shipping, Facebook, Twitter, advertising space for pigeon

breeders, cage bird products, droppings analysis and sale of

pigeons and much, much more. We now import containers

from Belgium, Taiwan, Poland and Spain. We order from Belgium,

Taiwan, Poland, Spain, South Africa, Norway, Germany,

Australia and England. We have our own associated wood and

metal shops, and are able to custom build anything in wood or

metal. We also offer website design, advertising literature and

personalized business cards.

Note: I asked Clair Hetland, the gentleman, who along with his

wife Jan, purchased Foy’s Pigeon Supplies from Charles Foy,

for his comments on the history of Foy's. The following are Clair

Hetland’s comments.

I began selling pigeon medications from the pharmacy I managed

in 1961. I had a small line of products that I had used and

knew they were both safe and effective. I used the American

Pigeon Journal to reach the customers. The pharmacy gave

me half the profit from the sales. The pharmacy owner was not

happy because I spent time selling pigeon products. So I said fine.

I took the business home. I still worked at the pharmacy but I operated

the pigeon business at night.

Many of the products I sold were “manufactured” or repackaged by

Foy’s. Whenever I ordered more products from Charles Foy, I would

ask him if he was ready to sell his business and would he give me a

shot at it. One day the phone rang and it was Charles. Charlie Foy

said if you want the business come on down and see if you like it,

spend a week. See what it is like.

I visited with Charlie and saw what a dynamo he was. He and his

wife, Lucille, showed me the ropes. Charlie filled me in on what the

business was all about. The business was started by Charlie’s father

Frank Foy. Frank Foy worked in a factory that made incubators and

other poultry products. Frank also raised poultry and water fowl.

He had a small pamphlet that he would toss in each outgoing order.

That was the beginning of Foy’s Pigeon Supplies.

Charlie Foy, Frank’s son, was many things. Highly respected in his

state and he was a small plane, open-cock pit pilot. Charlie disposed

of so many chickens and their eggs that he was the only

person to test for New Castle disease. It did not make him ill, but it

showed up in his blood tests. The pigeons were a continuance of

the poultry breeding. It was harder to raise chickens.

Selling Pigeons requires a person who could tell the sex of birds.

Foy’s had such a man and could almost guarantee pairs. When this

man died, Charlie gave up on the live bird sales. The end of railway

express also convinced Charlie to stop selling live birds and that is

when it became 100% pigeon supplies.

Our business in Golden Valley, Minnesota grew by leaps and bounds.

My family was very involved but both daughters had careers and

Janice was ready to retire. Then I had a heart attack, so we were

lucky to find Jerry Gagne to buy us out. It was luck for Jerry too.

~ Clair Hetland

The following are Jerry Gagne’s Comments.

August 2013

I have had pigeons and sold pigeon supplies most of my life. When

I was 21 years old, my brother Bob and I became partners in the pigeon

business. We had a friend, Ray LeBlanc , who owned a small

pigeon supply business and we asked if it was for sale. Ray was a

real gentleman and made it very easy for us to buy his business even

though we had very limited money. We actually bought it by making

payments to Ray. I just never imagined that LeBlanc’s Pigeon Farm

was the beginning of this long road to Foy’s Pigeon Supply.

My brother, who was a carpenter, handled the building of all wood

products as well as whatever needed to be done. We changed the

name to Gagne Bros. Pigeon Supply and operated in Maine for several

years. (Charles Foy visited us on one occasion.) I lost my regular

job in 1969 and made the decision to move to Pennsylvania where

I had a job offer. I bought out my brother and moved everything to

Clinton, Pa. (Quite amazing isn't it that I moved to Clinton, PA and

operated a pigeon business which eventually bought Foy's a business

that once was located in Clinton, Iowa.) I operated a business

from Clinton, Pa. I ran the Gagne Bros. Pigeon Supply until 1974, but

with a growing family, it was just not enough income and I could not

operate it part time. I sold the business and moved on with my life.

I became a home improvement contractor and in this line of work, I

would climb on to roofs to inspect them. One day I was on a roof and

happened to look down into a neighbors yard and I saw two pigeon

lofts. The next day I spoke to the owner, Joe Piltz, and I came home

with a box of pigeons. No loft, no cages or anything else, but I had

pigeons! Being who I am, the pigeons led to Jerry’s Pigeon Supply.

As the small business grew, I had an occasion to speak to Clair Hetland.

Clair was a real gentleman and helped me find some pigeon

products I was looking for. I started to buy products from Clair and

over the course of time, I asked the same question that Clair Hetland

asked Charles Foy. I told Clair that if he ever wanted to sell Foy’s

Pigeon Supply, please give me a shot at it. It wasn’t easy, but I think

it was meant to be and with Clair’s help, I ended up buying Foy’s.

Two of my sons, Kim, and I flew to Minnesota. We spent 3 days and

loaded two tractor trailers full and on a Friday left for Pennsylvania.

The Minnesota phone number was forwarded to Pennsylvania and

on Monday we were taking orders. The year was 2000.

The Gagne Family is just the third family owner over the past 135

years. The company has survived depressions, wars, recessions

and so much more. Pet fanciers are very loyal, and if you give service,

they will stick with you.

The president of Foy’s is Kim Hare, who becomes a second generation

leadership of the company. Sherry is an 11 year employee and

there is hardly a job that she has not handled. Sam is our Granddaughter

and enters her 2nd year, her job includes answering the

phone, packing orders and anything that requires muscle. Veronica

will be in here seventh year and creates all our advertisements, created

and monitors our web site, creates a market for other services

we offer such as web site design, business cards , promotional items

and all the catalog prep work. Gina, my daughter, served honorably

in the Navy for 20 years and then joined Foy's and does everything

but her responsibility is inventory control.

Vickie, my wife, is in charge of all the seamless band sales, packs,

ships, and answers the phone. Together we have built the business

and enjoyed the inclusion of family members.

I am now semi-retired from the company and have decided to try to

give back to the pigeon community. I still create the catalog and handle

our pigeons, but for the most part, at the age of 77, have stepped

back from the day-to-day operations. I served as the President of

the National Pigeon Association and spent much of my time trying

to make the NPA bigger and more service oriented. If you are not a

member of the National Pigeon Association, please contact me, I will

be glad to answer any questions and hopefully send you a membership

application. I currently serve as chairman of the National Pigeon

Association - Legacy Fund Trust.

In 2017, Foy's moved to a new location to better server our customers.

We are now located across the river from New Brighton, PA.

RACE QUALITY RACING PIGEONS

Over the last 6-7 years, Foy’s has sold 1000’s of quality racing

pigeons. We know we are doing something right when we have

repeat customers time and time again. We have our own lofts at

the store and at my home. I no longer race my birds, but still enjoy

the whole process of keeping pigeons. Yes, I even enjoy cleaning

the loft. Birds we have sold have won at all distances, including a

winner at 500 miles. We do not raise every racing homer we sell,

but we do guarantee, that if you are looking for quality, we have

it. When needed, we purchase birds from local lofts, but not just

any loft. We acquire birds from three top lofts in the race combine,

and these birds are made available to Foy’s, because the breeder

would prefer they be shipped out of their area. They do not want

to offer them locally because they do not want to compete against

their own birds. If you want quality racing pigeons, we have

them. We offer no particular strain or color, and the color of the

racing pigeons is not important, we just want good racers.

YOUNG RACING PIGEONS

Raised by our birds, the young birds are all from our breeding

teams, and have never been out of the loft. When we ship, they are

old enough to eat and drink and are seamless banded. The young

bird bands are registered by Foy’s and should you lose a bird, and it

is found by someone, they can contact us and we will give them your

contact information. We can not sell young birds by pairs, as they are

not old enough to know the sex of the birds, when we ship them. All

orders are shipped in the sequence that we receive the orders, so order

early and be sure to get them before we sell out. You should keep

the young birds in the loft, with access to an aviary, for two weeks,

before releasing them.

BREEDING PAIRS OF RACING PIGEONS

We sell mature breeding racing pigeons year round and can ship

year round. We do separate our hens and cocks when we are not

breeding, so we can not guarantee mated pairs, but we do guarantee

a hen and a cock. You can never allow these birds to fly free,

as they will eventually try to return to where they were born or first

released. We feed a mixed grain, commercial pigeon feed and you

should try to do the same. If you do want a particular color, we will

do our very best to honor your request, but it is not always possible.

All pigeons are shipped through the post office by Express Mail

directly to your home or address you supply.

RARE COLOR RACING HOMERS

The racing pigeon remains the single most popular breed of pigeons, and within the breed, many racing pigeons are enjoyed, not for

their ability to compete in club races, but for the beautiful colors. At Foy’s we keep a loft just for rare color racing homers.

The following colors are what I consider rare colors in my loft:

Red Red Check Silver Grizzle Yellow Check Yellow Brown Splash

* I also have colors I can’t describe, which are the result of breeding from the above colors. Please call for availability. *

RARE COLOR RACING HOMERS

#10019 1 Pair for $100.00 #10020 2 Pair for $175.00 #10021 4 Pair for $300.00

We do not keep the rare colors in stock for very long, so we are not able to breed from them. For this

reason, we usually do not have young rare colors available.

ROLLERS

Rollers are the second most popular breed of pigeons, after Racing Homers. Our Rollers are top quality birds and will roll as promised. Rollers

are acrobats of the pigeon hobby and it is a real blast to watch a kit of Rollers take off and get to gather as a group, At some signal, known

only by the birds, they start tumbling to the ground, doing summersaults almost all the way to the down. At the end of their roll, they gather

up again and fly back up to the height needed to roll down again. Rollers come in all different colors, but we do not necessarily have them for

color, we have them for their ability to roll. We will try to send the colors you like, but can’t promise to send birds as lose to the colors you are

looking for. Rollers are a small breed about half the size of Racing Homers, and a bit smaller than the wild birds you see on the streets or roof

tops. Rollers are very active, bright eyed and just love to fly. They are easy to breed and great parents. Keep in mind that Rollers have little to

no homing instinct, so you can purchase breeders and they will stay return to your loft. I would suggest you keep them in the loft for 3-4 weeks

before releasing the new birds, and you need an outside landing area and a removable aviary. The aviary offers the birds the opportunity to

enjoy being outside and also allows them to observe their surroundings before being released to fly. (bold) Prices do not include shipping cost

nor the special books that must be used to ship the birds. Birds are sent by express mail, thru the post office.

DROPPING ANALYSIS

We are quite pleased to offer a great new service to aid you in knowing

more about the health of your flock of pigeons, poultry or cage birds.

We have enlisted the help of an experienced veterinarian who will

look at droppings that you have sent, and give you an idea as to what

is wrong and what to do. You can not find all diseases in the droppings,

but most common problems will show up. Droppings analysis will not

find viruses, paratyphoid or other bacterial infections. It will find coccidiosis,

worms, parasites, yeast infections and other problems.

Here is what you have to do:

Collect about a tablespoon of fresh droppings. This tablespoon can be

a mix of your flock, or if you have problems in just one section of your

loft, collect the Tablespoon from just that one or two sections. It should

be a general sampling of a number of the birds. If you are concerned

with just one bird, isolate the bird and collect just the dropping from that

one bird, you will not get a tablespoon, but get as much as you can for

overnight and the morning before mailing them. The surface, under the

bird should not be anything that will absorb the urine, plastic or metal is

best, under the bird. The droppings MUST BE AS FRESH AS POS-

SIBLE when you send them. Do not collect them from newspaper or

an absorbent surface, because the urine would be blotted up, and we

need all of the droppings. If you are sending more than one sample,

place each sample in a plastic zip lock bag. Mark each bag you send

to us, with a number or an identification of some kind. This is important

because we want to be able to refer to each bag. Put all the ziploc

plastic bags in a padded envelope and mail them to Foy's. Padded

EXTERNAL PARASITES

Feather Lice. Small black lice can be seen on feathers, next to the

center shaft. The lice cause no harm, but bother the pigeons. Lice are

a sign that you need to keep a cleaner loft. Check your birds regularly

and if you see the lice, treat by dipping or spraying. Secticide or bug

spray is suggested but Permectrin II would also be a good choice.

The Pigeon Fly is rather common, you will see it as it tries to hide in

the feathers. Pigeons with the Pigeon Fly, will often stamp their feet

and act restless. The Pigeon Fly travels from pigeon to pigeon. The fly

may be a carrier of Malaria causing poor flying performance. Prevention

includes cleaning nesting bowls and the loft regularly. If you have

a compost pile, it should not be close to the loft. Keep strays out of

the loft, and when introducing new birds, spray them while they are in

quarantine. Do not let the droppings build up in the nest bowl, nest box

or on the floor. In the Summer, spray all the pigeons in the loft every 8

weeks. Secticide is my first choice, Permectrin II is also a good choice,

all with bug spray.

Red Mite symptoms include restlessness during the evenings, a heavy

infestation will cause anemia in babies, and in severe cases cause

death in the babies. Your pigeons will also stamp their feet. The adult

mite hides in the cracks and crevices in the loft, during the daylight. The

mite moves onto the pigeon at night and feeds on the pigeons exposed

skin, sucking blood. They breed in the loft, off the pigeons. If you want

to check to see if you have them, place a cotton ball in the loft after

dark. Examine the cotton ball after first light to see the small pin head

sized red mites. Spraying the loft with Permectrin II is recommended

as a preventative. If possible, apply Ekto/Endo to the back of the neck

of all the pigeons, every 8 weeks. Ivermectin, to the back of the neck,

will also reduce the infestation. Another excellent option is perch oil.

Nasal and Tracheal Mite. The Nasal mite causes severe irritation in

the nose with sneezing , shaking the head and persistent scratching at

the nasal openings. The Trachael (Throat) mite may cause coughing,

wheezing and a clicking sound especially in the evening when pigeons

are at rest. The mite travels from pigeon to pigeon. Keep stray pigeons

out of the loft. Canaries are carriers, keep them away from the loft.

Treat all the pigeons in the loft with Ekto/Endo tablets and repeat in 10

days. A 5 day treatment combining Spiradox and Bromhexine is also

suggested, the Spiradox treats secondary infections and Bromhexine

liquefies the mucus.

treatment and prevention of Trichomoniasis.

It has a long acting effect and has minimal

side effects. Ronidazole is faster acting, but is passed

thru more quickly. Avionidazole combines Secnidazole with Ronidazole

ensuring that the pigeon fancier has the best possible product

available to prevent Trichomoniasis (Canker). Add 4 teaspoons to a

Dimetryl + by Aviomed

Dimetryl is a unique product developed

specifically to treat resistant strains of

Trichomoniasis (Canker). Dimetridazole is

extremely effective when administered at higher

doses. At these high doses it is very toxic.

Dimetryl contains the unique Aviomed additive

knows as Antitox. Antitox is a blend of natural

substances that reduces the toxic effect of Dimetridazole,

supports the liver and stimulates

the immune system. With the additive of Antitox, the dosage can

safely be increased and the treatment time is reduced to three days.

Dosage is 1 teaspoon per 1 gallon of water for 3 days continuously. If

the weather is hot and the birds are drinking more water, reduce the

dosage to 1 teaspoon per 2 gallons. Use Dimetryl twice during the

race season or when you are flying your birds. Dose early in the week

and do not race or fly competitively within five days of using Dimetryl.

Contains 40% Dimetridazole and Aviomed - Antitox 2%. In normal

weather makes approximately 7 gallons.

This is an extremely safe product

with a wide safety margin to use

during breeding, moulting, and any active

period such as a flying competition, auction

or show. Also known as Flagyl, the

powder is used at the rate of 1 teaspoon

per gallon for 3 days and the large 200 gram container will make up to

50 gallons. The tablets, called Aviotrich, have the added effect of

stimulating the flying performance of birds such as Racing Homers,

Rollers, Tipplers, Flights, Doneks, High Flyers, etc. For stimulating,

give 1 tablet one day before shipping for a competition such as a race.

Both the powder and the tablers should be given on an empty

crop, preferably in the evening, to reduce the incidence of vomiting.

The powder treatment dose is 1 teaspoon per gallon for 5 days and

the tablets are dosed 1 tablet per day for 2 consecutive days. For

babies, 1 tablet on the day of weaning.

Trizole

Trizole treats both Canker and Coccidiosis

in pigeons. The combination of Secnidazole

and Ronidazole means a single dose will have rapid

but long lasting activity against Canker. Canker is

commonly spread via food and water by carrier birds

and passed by the parents to the young. Young birds

show classic symptoms such as growth in their throat

or naval. Older birds show weight loss and weakness

or poor flying performances. Coccidiosis is a common

disease of pigeons. It is a parasite passed from one bird to another

via dropping contamination of food or water. Coccidiosis is always

worse during warm, wet conditions. Trizole tablets after feeding, at

the rate of one tablet per pigeon, once only. Trizole will not cause

infertility or reduced performance. Can be used during breeding

season and when birds have young in the nest. 25mg Ronidazole,

TriColi-STOP

TriColi was developed in Europe specially

for pigeons. Over the years, pigeons have

started to develop a resistance to the many products

used to treat or prevent Canker. Originally developed as an individual

dose capsule, in 2016, due to the success and demand for, a

flock treatment was developed. The TriColi Stop Powder treats 625

pigeons and may be used at any time, including breeding season,

racing season, show season, in other words, it can be used

year round, as needed. TriColi Stop Powder is not water soluble, and

is used on the feed. As stated, it may be used during the breeding

season, but when you have 2-3 week old youngsters in the nest, the

use of TriColi Stop should be stopped.

• Suppresses 99.8% of Canker within 3 Hours!

• Suppresses the E-Coli in pigeons within hours!

• Improves the Condition of pigeons

• Cleans and refreshes the liver of pigeons!

• Contains pure NATURAL ORGANIC substances and vitamins!

Results prove that after extensive tests carried out by leading scientists

at the University of Ghent, Belgium, in the Faculty of Veterinary

Medicine, Department of Pathology, Bacterial and Avian Diseases,

scientists were amazed to discover that TriColi STOP kills Trichomonas/Canker

in Pigeons within 3 hours.

• Not an antibiotic or medication, no resistance/side effects can

develop! The Powder is sprinkled on the feed, and it is suggested

that you use a small amount of the oils available for pigeons or just a

small amount of vegetable oil, on the feed, which helps the powder

stick to the feed. What I do is use a large scoop that I know holds

a bit of 2.2 lbs. (Kilo). Since I already know how much the scoop

holds, I do not have to weigh the feed. You could us a Scoop like I

do, #253, or any container such as a can or jar, weigh out and mark

the container where it is a bit over 2 lbs. If you would like to make

a smaller amount, use ¾ teaspoon per 1.1 pound (1/2 Kilo). The

powder, like the capsules, is used for just one day. The Capsules

are for individual treatment and used by holding the beak open and

dropping the capsule down the throat. I hold the beak closed and

massage the throat gently to be sure it is swallowed. Dip the capsule

in water or oil if you like, which makes it easier to swallow.

and increased thirst. Add 1 teaspoon per gallon for 3 days.

#7037 Cocci-Cide 8 oz. $11.00

Corid/Amprolium

A very effective product for treatment

of Coccidiosis. Prevention is always

the best, as in any disease, and the

best thing you could do is to be sure your loft floor

is dry. Many fancy breeds spend a lot of time on

the floor, breeds such as Fantails, Muffed Breeds,

Runts, Kings, etc. These breeds are more susceptible

to Coccidiosis because if the floor is damp this creates the ideal

breeding ground for Coccidiosis. The liquid , which is 9.6% is used

at the rate of 2 teaspoons to a gallon and used for a suggested 7

days. The powder, which is 20%, is used at the rate of one teaspoon

per gallon and also used for a suggested 7 days. Coccidiosis is not

a disease it is a protozoa or similar to a very small bug, and usually

has droppings of very light green which may include small amounts

of blood. Coccidiosis is quite common in pigeons, and if you suspect

your birds may have it, you may want to send in a sample of the

droppings to Foy’s. We partner with a veterinarian who will look at the

droppings thru a microscope and will know right away if Coccidiosis is

present. He will also be able to tell you if worms are present. The way

to send the droppings is listed elsewhere in Foy’s catalog. Coccidiosis

will develop resistant to any drug, very quickly and it is a good idea to

rotate Corid with another drug such as #2508 Cox/Trimethroprim. Do

not combine with anything else and change the treated water daily.

Cox/Trimethroprim Powder by Aviomed

AvioCox Powder combines Sulphadimethoxine,

the safest and most effective Sulphonamide,

with the purest and most potent water soluble

high dose Trimethoprim. Sulphadimethoxine is one

of the newer, safer and more effective Sulphas that is

ideal for the treatment and prevention of Coccidiosis.

At the high dose inclusion of Trimethoprim found in this

product, it has been proven to be very effective against Salmonella

(Paratyphoid) and Ecoli. The combination of Trimethoprim and sulphas

are well known to act synergistically to increase its spectrum

against bacteria. AvioCox is thus highly suitable for the treatment of

other bacteria especially those found in the intestinal tract. Avio-

Cox is the ideal product to use when treating "Young Bird Disease".

AvioCox should be used once every eight weeks during racing or

competition flying season as a preventative treatment against Coccidiosis.

Breeding pigeons and babies should be treated every eight

weeks preventively until molting season starts. Contains Sulphadimethoxine

12.5g Trimethoprim 20g and Dextrose Add 4 teaspoons

per gallon for 5 days as a treatment.

Coxiworm by Aviomed

This product is a world breakthrough and is

the first of its kind to be specifically developed

for pigeons. So far there is no equivalent available for

the pigeons worldwide. It combines three of the safest

and most effective actives available, for the unique

combined treatment of Coccidiosis and worms in

pigeons. Pyrantel and Praziquantel are the two safest

and some of the most effective against the three most common

worms, (Roundworm, Hairworm and Tapeworm). Toltazuril likewise

is the most effective and safe treatment against Coccidiosis.

It also supplies a three week residual protection against re-infections

with Coccidia. This product is completely safe and does not cause

any burn of feathers so it is ideal for weaning youngsters. 1 Coxiworm

tablet per pigeon. It is highly suggested to dose every 12 weeks if you

have an ongoing issue with worms of Coccidiosis. Dose all babies

after weaning. Rotate with Ekto/Endo+ tablets.

has been reported in use against "ONE EYE COLDS",

while others have found success in treating E. Coli, Coccidiosis,

Paratyphoid (Salmonella) and other bacterial infections. The tablets

are 1/4 to 1/2 for small to medium birds, and a full tablet for larger

breeds, once in the AM and once in the PM for 5-7 days. Contains

Floor Covering by Natural

If you are like me, with limited time to spend in the loft, I would

suggest you consider Natural Granulated Floor Covering.

Natural Granulated Floor Covering is a natural product consisting of

lava drawn from the subsoil and has an exceptional absorbing power:

2.2 lbs. will absorb easily over a quart of water. When the droppings

fall on the granules, they dry very quickly which stops the contamination

cycle by parasites such as the oocysts of Coccidiosis and of the

eggs of ascarids (intestinal worms). Another benefit of Natural Granulated

Floor Covering is that the granules absorb the smell of the droppings.

You might want to spread some around the nest bowl when

young birds eject liquid droppings. The granulated floor may stay in

the loft for up to a year provided it is raked weekly and also adds good

insulation against the cold. Young birds love to lay down in this product.

Their droppings dry quickly and their feet are always clean.

A 44 lb. bag will cover about 16 square feet at 1/2" deep. I have over

300 pigeons and use it in all my lofts, nest bows and breeding cages.

potent, prime grade Ronidazole, in an easy to dissolve powder. The

10% Aviozole is used at the rate of 2 teaspoons to a gallon for 3 days

as a preventative and 5 days as a treatment. The 25% formula is used

at the rate of one teaspoon per gallon, 3 days as a prevention and 5

days as a treatment. Change water daily. Safe to use during breeding

Moxidectin Gel

Moxidectin Gel was brought to our attention by a breeder who

has been using it for over 10 years, and highly recommends it.

It is a product that is different than most other products in the way it

is prepared. This Moxidectin must be mixed in a blender for 30 seconds.

Add to the drinking water for 1 day, and then repeated in 9

days. Not only does it eliminate the most common roundworms,

it also eliminates the Gapeworm, Air Sac mites, other mites and

most internal parasites. Lice, which live off feathers, so you would

think that Moxidectin would have no effect, but experience shows that

most lice will also be disposed of. The breeder who suggested we

add Moxidectin to our product line, sent along three pages of testimonials!

The product is similar to a large syringe that has notches

on it. Add four notches to a cup of warm water and put this in your

blender. Blend for 30 seconds add this mixture to a gallon of drinking

water. Give for two days and then repeat the process after 9 days. It

is very Important, as with all roundworm treatments, to clean the loft

after treatment. The Moxidectin does not kill round worms, as with all

round worm treatment, it paralyzes them and they are expelled thru

the droppings. If you do not clean the loft, especially the floor and

perches, the pigeons could become reinfected by eating worms on

the floor and perch. If your pigeons are exposed to the outsides and

go to ground, they sometimes pick up roundworms. If worms are an

ongoing problem, this exposure to the ground may be your problem

and you should consider treating every month or at least twice a year,

as the lifespan of the round worm is six months. Moxidetin remains

in a birds system for up to 30 days.

screwed on) measure 9 ml/cc of water and add to your

container. Prime the wormout gel pump and add 1 ml/

cc of the gel to 9 ml/cc of water. Screw your lid on and shake it for

5-10 seconds to break up the gel. The dose of the diluted wormout

gel mixture is 0.5 (1/2) ml/cc per 100 grams body weight via crop

needle. Remember that the crop needle will have an air space in it

which may effect the dose that is actually delivered. For instance, a

12 gauge crop needle has an empty space about 0.45 ml/cc. You

need to allow for the air space in whatever needle you are using. You

need to know the weight of your birds, any good "bird book" will give

the average weight of various species. The active constituents are

Praziquantel 20 g/L and Oxfendazole 20 g/L for the treatment

of threadworms (capillaria). The 100 ml/cc and the 250 ml/cc sizes

deliver 1 ml/cc for each pump. All aviary birds add 2 ml/cc to 160

ml/cc (2 pumps to 1 1/3 cup) of drinking water for 2 days. Aviaries

should be treated at least 4 times a year. 160 ml/cc is 1/6 of a gallon.

Remember to Mix 1t in a container with water and shake up before

adding the drinking water. It is what I use.

Pigeon Nutri-Drops

Adeno virus, PMV and Circovirus are different strains of the

same virus. Circovirus is an infectious transmittable disease

that spreads form one bird to another. It is assumed to be spread

though physical contact as well as on the dust in the loft, therefore,

making it airborne. Once in the loft every pigeon will be exposed to the

virus and the majority will become infected. Birds that do become sick

will almost invariably die. The ones that do not become sick eventually

clear the virus from their system. We do not know how long this takes

but if is thought the majority will clear in 4-6 months. However, there is

the possibility that some birds will fail to clear the virus and remain as

persistent carriers. WHILE THE VIRUS IS ACTIVE IT INTERFERES

WITH THE FUNCTIONING OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM. KILLING

OF BIRDS WILL NOT ELIMINATE THE VIRUS BECAUSE THE

MAJORITY OF INFECTED BIRDS SHOW NO SYMPTOMS. Viruses

attack in two waves. 90% of birds die in the second wave because

an impaired immune system has increased their vulnerability to

secondary disease. It is essential that birds develop a good immunity

to the second wave to avoid death. Remember that all birds need a

strong immune system to fight off infections and disease. Pigeons

Nutri-Drops contain high energy vitamins, amino acids and minerals

to boost the immune system. Backed by 20 years of research,

field trials and two U.S. patents and Pigeon Nutri-Drops owns the

first patent ever for “speed of nutrient availability. You can MAXI-

MIZE OVERALL HEALTH* GROWTH AND FERTILITY*MATING

were dying. My birds tested positive for PMV/Circovirus. I lost 900

in a very short period of time, my birds were perky. I am so delighted

Lasota PMV Strain Vaccine

For years many pigeon fanciers have used the Lasota vaccine,

rather than the PMV-1 Vaccine, and now we all have to use

Lasota. The Lasota is not an injectable. I recently spoke to a very

well know veterinarian about using the Lasota. He uses it and is quite

satisfied with its ability to prevent PMV-1. The veterinarian explained in

detail how he uses it, and Foy’s is quite pleased to pass on this information.

Once you open the bottle, you must use it all or dispose

of what you do not use. THE LASOTA MUST BE KEPT COLD,

NOT FROZEN. Keep it in the refrigerator until you are ready to use

it. The first way to use it is in the drinking water, but this is not recommended

because it may not do the job, as it is assuming the pigeon

drinks enough of the water, and this is not always the case. If you have

a very large flock, you may have to go this route, but if you have some

valuable or some very special pigeons, it is suggest you use the second

method on at least those. When using the vaccine in the drinking water,

you should first do the following: Do not feed them the night before,

or if you use a cafeteria feeder, remove it. The next morning,

place the feed before them and they will eat rapidly. 3-4 hours

later put a gallon of distilled water, with the vaccine added, in

front of them. You want them to be very thirsty so they will drink.

The vaccine loses its potency after just 3-4 hours, which is why

you want them to drink right away. The second method requires

you to handle each bird. Open the Lasota bottle and fill with distilled

water. Shake the bottle to dissolve the vaccine. Add this to a 2 ounce

dropper bottle and fill the remainder of the bottle with water. Using the

eye dropper (included), place one drop directly into the eye and then

one directly into nose hole. When giving the drops in the nostril, hold a

finger over the opposite nostril to close it and repeat when you do the

other nostril. By doing this, the drop will be sucked right into the nostril.

It is recommended that you start with the Lasota two months before the

race or show season. Whether you put it in the drinking water, or use

a dropper, the treatment is for one day per month and repeated all thru

race or show season. The idea is to treat during the period pigeons are

mixed with other people’s pigeons. The Vet suggest 1 bottle to a gallon

of drinking water but no more than one bottle to 2 gallons.

Adeno-Zap

A natural blend designed to quicken the recovery of Adeno,

a virus, as no antibiotic will treat the disease. Adeno-Zap

may greatly shorten the side effects. You have heard of Adeno Virus

or experienced its devastating effects. Symptoms may include loose

watery, yellow diarrhea, vomiting up feed and sudden death (the most

common symptom). The spread of the virus may start in one age

group and then spread to birds of all ages. Some birds in the same

loft may show no symptoms at all and are not sick. Don’t wait until

you need it, order Adeno-Zap now, and be ready. Please keep in mind

that Adeno Zap is not an antibiotic, it is a natural product to quicken

the recovery from the Adeno-Virus and to eliminate the side effects,

such as poor food digestion, vomiting feed and yellow loose stinky

droppings. When you have a bird(s) that you suspect has the Adeno-

Virus, you must segregate the birds, preferably in another building

or cage if possible. Add one teaspoon to a gallon of water, after they

have been fed. Treat the sick birds until symptoms are gone. You

should also treat the entire flock for three consecutive days and then

repeat giving it to the whole flock in one week for three consecutive

days. If symptoms persist, repeat the following week. Use distilled

water, especially for the sick birds. A blend of natural herbs. KEEP

REFRIGERATED AND MAKE A FRESH BATCH EVERY DAY.

KM-1 Paratyphoid Vaccine

Made available in 2013, after years of development

and testing. Dr. John Kazmierczak and Dr

Paul Miller, both lifelong racing pigeon fanciers, developed

this vaccine. Vaccinated birds were challenged in tests

and DID NOT get Paratyphoid, unvaccinated birds developed

Paratyphoid after challenged. Earlier vaccines that

were available had a tendency to make birds sick and occasionally

cause death. This vaccine has shown minimal side effects and may

be given to birds as young as six weeks. KM-1 contains strains from

racing pigeons, show pigeons and meat pigeons, these are current

strains that previous vaccines did not protect against. Each bottle will

treat 100 birds at the rate of 1/4 cc. Initially the birds are vaccinated

twice, 3 weeks apart and then once every six months. Paratyphoid

is almost an epidemic in North America, and the only way to prevent

Paratyphoid is with a long term approach of vaccination. Symptoms

of Paratyphoid may include twisted neck. lack of coordination, limp,

dropped wing, eggs not hatching, young dying in the shell or at weaning

age, sudden death and in some cases none of these symptoms

but still have the disease. KM-1 is a killed bacterium. Shipped with

Furazolidon Plus

Paratyphoid (Salmonella)

has one of the highest

mortality rates of any infectious

bacterial disease of pigeons. Given

the right conditions, the bacterium

can remain infective in the

environment for 1 year or more.

As per Chevita, the maker of Furazolidone

Plus, Salmonella is

spread by: inhalation of dust containing the pathogen, contaminated

feed (insects, mice, rats), dirty feeders and drinkers, mating, transmission

from the hen to the egg, and feeding babies with infected crop

milk. Chronic Carriers: Pigeons that appear healthy after surviving

salmonella infection, but shed the pathogen at irregular intervals and

thus pose a risk to the current flock and their young. Acute form

(mainly effects adult pigeons) loose, greenish droppings, retardation

of growth, loss of weight and in rare cases, death. Chronic form

(mainly effects adult pigeons) inflammation causes a thickening of the

leg or wing joint. This inflammation causes one wing to hang down

or a bird to limp. The birds may have a problem with balance and

a twisting of the neck. These symptoms do not always mean you

have Paratyphoid (Salmonella) as other diseases may have the same

symptoms. The Furazolidon Plus Powder is packed 12 envelopes to

a box and dosage is 1 envelope to a 1/2 gallon of drinking water. So

a box will make six gallons. Treat for 5 days, probiotics/vitamins for

two days and repeat the Furazolidone Plus for another 3 to 5 days

followed again by probiotics/vitamins for 2 days. The capsules come

to be inhospitable to Paratyphoid/Salmonella and E. Coli.

When something goes wrong in the throat, Apple Cider will help. It is

a great product to use during the breeding season. Our Apple Cider

Vinegar may be mixed with vitamins, electrolytes or probiotics. Use as

often as you chose, one tablespoon per gallon of drinking water. Use

a minimum of twice a week. On a personal note, we always seem to

have bug problem at the house. (small bugs that fly around and are a

weeks and one year. YBD is a multifactorial disease that

is seen clinically when pigeons contract Circovirus and

they are stressed and/or suffer from other underlying diseases such

as Paramyxovirus, Trichomoniasis, Coccidiosis and Salmonella

amongst others. Pigeons initially show symptoms of listlessness and

loss of appetite, this is soon followed by excessive drinking of water

and Vomiting as well as a bad smelling yellow to green diarrhea.

Pigeons lose weight rapidly and about 10 – 20 % of untreated

pigeons die. If pigeons are not treated effectively they may become

severely stunted and never recover fully to become competitive during

the racing season. An incredible new combination product that

contains the two safest and most effective antibiotics against the secondary

bacteria found in YBD (Amoxycillin and Colistin) combined with

four well researched and proven natural immune stimulants has been

hailed as a world breakthrough in the treatment of this dreaded disease.

Dr Botha’s YBD-Cure is based on years of painstaking personal

research combined with knowledge gained from the latest scientific

articles printed in Veterinary journals. The unique and effective combination

of Capsicum oleoresin (Capsicum), Turmeric oleoresin (Curcumin),

Olea europaea ( Oleuropein) and Beta Glucan as anti-viral

and immune stimulating elements with the high dose antibiotics

make this product far superior to any other YBD products available.

Add 1 heaped teaspoon to 50ml ( 1 3/4 oz.) of water. Mix thoroughly

until no lumps remain, it will form a gel. Mix the gel with 1 kg (2.2 lbs)

of feed leave to dry and feed the birds. Treat for 7 days consecutive,

morning and evening The container is enough for 60 birds for 7 days.

#4 Triple C Antibiotic Powder 100 gr. $29.00

When birds are sick, many fanciers start medicating right away,

based on what they think is the problem. So many symptoms

are the same for sick birds that it is very difficult to guess correctly,

and your chances to guess correctly are not good. I would

suggest rather than guessing and wasting time and money, why

not collect fresh samples of droppings and send them to Foy’s.

We have a Vet who will look at the samples under a microscope

and will be able to see most problems. I caution you, he will not

be able to find a virus if that is the problem. Collect samples

from one bird, if that is the only one sick, or if you have been

experiencing multiple sick birds, scrape the floor and then collect

fresh droppings from multiple locations which will give you

a sampling of the flock. you only need a total of about a tablespoon,

place them in a sealed plastic bag. If you want to send

multiple samples, put each in a sealed bag, and mark each bag

so that the analysis will refer to each identified bag. See page

17 for shipping information. This droppings analyst applies to

pigeons, cage birds and poultry.

Bromhexine contains the purest and most

thick and is excreted more easily. When Bromhexine is combined

with respiratory antibiotics such as Mycoban (#2521) and AvioDox

(#2519) it increases the levels of antibiotics in the lung tissue. Bromhexine

is of tremendous aid in the treatment of respiratory disease

in pigeons. Bromhexine may be combined with any antibiotic

Clearify Liquid

Prevention of RESPIRATORY problems is so very

important, and yet no fancier wants to overuse

antibiotics. Clearify, an ALL-NATURAL product, was introduced

in 2015,and has become one of the bestselling

pigeon respiratory treatments in all of Europe. If you race or

fly your pigeons, a respiratory issue will reduce their ability to compete,

as their breathing is affected. If your pigeons are not flying as

long as they should, or upon landing, they are breathing with

the mouth open, you may have a respiratory issue that needs your

attention. Clearify is meant to PREVENT respiratory problems, and it

is All NATURAL. Clearify produces no side effects and is more potent

than Tylan. Use for three days every week starting a couple of

weeks before the race season or competitive flying, and then twice a

week during the flying season. For pigeons such as Racing Homers,

Rollers and Tipplers. The 250 ml bottle will make a bit over 6 gallons

of drinking water, and is safe in all weather conditions, including extremely

hot days. Tests in Europe gave the pigeons 100% relief from

respiratory diseases.

Spiradox by Aviomed

respiratory problems. The combination

of antibiotics acts together optimally. It

has the added advantage of not causing a

loss of performance after treatment. The tablet is small and easy to

dose sugar coated for individual treatment whereas the powder is recommended

for larger lofts that are treating larger numbers of pigeons.

Powder - Treat pigeons for 7 days continuously, at least 8 weeks before

the racing season. Eight weekly preventative treatments, for 3

days, during the season are advised. It is strongly advised to alternate

treatment with Mycoban (#2521). Treatment must be extended to 7

pigeon lofts. Overcrowding of young birds may bring this problem.

Sometimes the birds show no symptoms and yet have respiratory

problems. Tylan may also be an aid in treating one-eye colds. Tylan

powder is used at the rate of 2 teaspoons per gallon for 5 days.

#2501 Tylan Powder 100 gr. $39.00

TIP: When you feed your birds, they should eat all the feed in 20

minutes or so. Feed should not be left in the feeders overnight, it may

attract vermin. When there are young in the nests, it would not be a

bad idea to feed them twice, to be sure the young are getting enough

feed from their parents. Pellets are a nice addition when you have

young in the nests, pellets will put weight on the young quickly. When

feeding pellets, the droppings will be much looser. 25% pellets and

75% grain is a good mix,. If your birds have not eaten pellets before,

they will be a bit hesitant to eat them at first, do not give them more

feed until the pellets are eaten.

Forma Eye Drops are a way for checking the respiratory tract.

The eye drops are meant to run away from the tear duct after application.

The blue color should then be visible in the throat. Very

easy to use. If the drops do not appear immediately in the throat,

treat for respiratory issues. One drop in the nostril and in each eye

the day of basketing for a competition, and the day they return from

than the average fancier as they collect mucus in their

mouth and nose. Tim who has raised African Owls for many

years, has no respiratory issues. He swears by Doxycycline

Powder, but does not use the Doxycycline Capsules, because if

you hear a bird clearing its throat (grunting) he treats the whole

flock, the bird that is grunting has most likely drank from the

same water as the rest of the birds and could have spread the

issue to other birds. Tim uses Doxycycline Powder twice a

year, roughly every six months. Tim shares that he follows the

system;

Syringes and Needles

There is a good reason why

vaccines carry the note to

dispose of all unused portions. The manufacturer

assumes that the vaccine will be

contaminated when the needle enters the

vial. Bacteria can be added to the vaccine and will multiply or incubate

until the vaccine is reused. PMV-1 is prevalent in the Pennsylvania

area in wild pigeons, but it’s not very common in the fancier’s loft because

all but a few vaccinate. I protect my birds by vaccinating them

at weaning time. I take a 100 dose bottle, 10 syringes and 10 needles

and fill all 10 with vaccine. I wrap the filled syringes in a plastic bag,

label them, put them in the refrigerator. I remove and use a syringe as

needed. It’s handy to have some rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle. I

squirt the bird in the vaccination area until it’s soaked. The injection

will be much easier and the chances of infection go down. You can

vaccinate youngsters by yourself because at that age they’re much

easier to handle and inject. We occasionally get calls from customers

saying that they can not operate their syringe properly. They have to

push real hard and it seems impossible to force the vaccine through.

Here is what you need to do: Before you push the needle into the

bottle, pull the plunger all the way back, then insert the needle. Push

the plunger down as though you are pushing air into the bottle, then

pull the plunger back to fill it. You may also remove the plunger and

put a small amount of vegetable oil on the rubber “o” ring. Needles

are size 20 X 1/2”.

Show Water (By Dr. Pigeon)

Nothing is more important than the quality

of the birds drinking water. In response to

the many calls about their birds getting sick after a show,

Foy's formulated a product to address the problem. This is

a NATURAL product meant to help prevent viral and bacterial

infections, while the birds are in a show hall. Add to the drinking

water 2-3 days before a show, during the show and 2-3 days after the

show. They birds should not be watered, at the show by anyone but

you, and you would use the water with Show Water added. HEALTHY

SHOW WATER should be the only drinking water that the birds have

access to and should be changed every day. Contents include Eyebright

(respiratory), Plantain (Antibacterial), Marshmallow (respiratory

and digestion), Echinacea (immune system boost), Thyme (immune

system booster and disinfects), Chamomile (stress), Licorice (immune

system, stress), Apple Cider Vinegar, Detox (increases acidity of water

to reduce disease possibilities). The directions are 3 ml/cc to the 2 or

3 ounce shoe cage cup. Before and after the show, you should add 2

½ tablespoons to a gallon and bring to the show to give to your birds.

We include a syringe to measure the 3 ml/cc used for the show cups.

Bring your own water and use only at the shows. You may want to

order a few extra syringes, perhaps the #354 35 cc or the #357 60 ml,

which would make quicker than using the 6 cc syringe we include.

The normal show cup used on the show cages is 2 oz. but that may

vary. We include a 3cc syringe with every bottle of HEALTHY SHOW

WATER, so it is very easy to use at the show. You may want to order

a few extra syringes, #175, but one is all you should need at a show.

Using a syringe, add to each show cup, change every day. We suggest

you use a show cup filled with Healthy Show Water and fill your

syringe from this cup.

then apply a cup at a time on the floor. Brush it around using a broom

and get it in the cracks and corners. It is very absorbent and another

use would be on the bottom of your nest boxes. Over time, the

floor will become white from continued use. There are times

when damp weather or stress creates loose droppings, and at these

times Belgium White is of great value. The Belgium White sucks up

the liquid and takes away the odor. Your loft floor will never

look better and it will smell great.

Perch Oil by Dr. Pigeon

Do your birds tap dance on their perches or stamp

their feet in the evening? Are the scales on their legs

or feet raised? If so, they are being annoyed by the Red

Mite. This mite does not live on the bird, it lives in the

cracks around the perches and moves on the bird in the

evening to suck blood. The Perch Oil is very effective in ridding

your birds of these pests as well as other lice and mites. Squirt a

small stream onto the perch and the areas surrounding it.

pigeon fly. Lasts up to 30 days. Add 2 oz. to a

gallon and make your own spray. I mix 1 ounce per

AdenoS

Together with customers having Adeono virus type I in their

young birds, we developed, tested and optimised in 2016 a

natural blend of organic acids able to suppress E.coli. The

main ingredients of this new product are lactic acids and

our own Improver.

As a food additive lactic acid is approved "all over", including

EU, USA and Australia and New Zealand as a food preservative.

We found in our laboratory and field test that the combination

of lactic acid and our best seller Improver has a tremendous

effect on young bird disease as the disease had much less

effect on young birds if they were given this product in the

drinking water. We decided therefore to call this new product AdenoS.

AdenoS does NOT kill the virus. However, the combination of the natural organic acids and vitamins in

Improver, seems to reduce the bloom of E.coli when the pigeons are exposed to the Adeno Virus,

and thereby taking the burden from the young birds. After 1-2 weeks the young bird survive and develop

immunity to the virus. We also found that it was beneficial to mix AdenoS with our electrolyte Belgamax for

the treatment:

TREATMENT:

For young birds showing signs of adenovirus i.e. vomiting and reluctance to train. Use in water 1 teaspoon

to a quart for 5-6 days or until symtoms are absent. Preferably combine with electrolytes as e.g. Belgamax,

1 teaspoon per litre water.

PROPHYLACTIC (to avoid disease):

Give AdenoS 1 teaspoon to a quart 3-4 successive days each week. In racing season give 3-4 successive

days after race. Can be mixed with other Pigeon Vitality products !

When adding birds to your lofts, it is so very important to not

introduce them to your birds until they have been quarantined

for at least 30 days. If you were importing birds from outside

the U.S., the federal government would hold them in quarantine

for 30 days or more, you should do the same. New birds, introduced

directly into your loft, is the #1 cause of your pigeons

getting sick. Another way is to quarantine them, collect some

fresh droppings and send these samples to Foy’s as directed

on page 15.

Virkon S Disinfectant

and Sanitizer

In today's pigeon and

poultry world, viruses have been a real

issue, and if your birds attract a virus of

any kind, there is no treatment, the virus

must run its course. Prevention is the

best way to prevent your flock from getting

a virus and the old axiom "An ounce

of prevention is worth a pound of cure", seems to have some bearing

on prevention. Virkon S is independently proven effective against not

only bacterial diseases, but more importantly, a powerful prevention

from Viruses. It is important that you clean surfaces as well as you

can, especially floors, before using Virkon S. Uses include solid flat surface

and includes perches, walls, incubators and as a dip disinfectant.

Kills pathogens ten time faster. Directions are: Powder - 1/3 ounce

per gallon of water . A great idea to prevent spreading disease from

loft to loft is to create a foot bath pan next to the entrance Usage the

same directions for the Virkon S bucket. The tablets are used at the

rate of two tablets per 34 ounces, just a bit more than a quart which

is 32 ounces.

Show Cage Grill

These lightweight grills are designed for

placing in a show cage. Many clubs

have discontinued the use of shavings in

a show hall. Without something for the

bird to stand on, they will be standing in

their own droppings. The grill may also be

used in a nest box, under the nest bowl.

I personally use them under my water containers. Moisture that collects

under the water container will be a breeding ground for disease.

You may also use them on the bottom of your carrying basket which

keeps the bird’s feet clean without the use of shavings, which may

irritate the bird’s eyes. Easily cut to fit any basket. 9 3/4" X 9 3/4".

permanent home. For the Racing Pigeon

flyers, it may be used as a widowhood

nest box. You get two plastic nest fronts

that swing in as needed, and we supply

a door that slides up and down, you may install the door on whichever

side you want. We ship the unit disassembled, but it is easy and

quick to put together. We install all the black nest front holders, so you

do not have to worry about where they go. All the screws are supplied

acids and vitamins in Adeno S, seems to reduce the

bloom of E.coli when the pigeons are exposed to the

Adeno virus, and thereby taking the burden from the

young birds. After 1-2 weeks the young birds survive

and develop an immunity to the virus. We also found that it was beneficial

to mix AdenoS with an electrolyte. Directions are to mix 4 teaspoons

to a gallon of drinking water, change daily. For young birds

showing signs of the Adeno virus, such as vomiting and a reluctance

to fly. Four teaspoons to a gallon of drinking water until the symptoms

are gone. Preferably combined with an electrolyte as directed.

To Jerry. In my loft I use yellow sulfer swept into the floor and

all the cracks then put sand down. Spray the loft with Virkon S

and my birds are on apple cider vinegar, 1 t. per gallon from the

time the season stops until the next season starts. I put one of

my friends on this program, his birds were dying 1 or 2 a day. I

cleaned his coop, put sulfer and sand down, in 2 days no more

birds died and he hasn't lost one since. Also, go in your loft

at night, once or twice a week, spray the Oxine directly on the

birds. That seemed to stop the virus dead in its tracks. Maybe

it will help. It's worth a try. That's what I do and I haven't had a

sick bird die ever. Sincerely, John G. Glemserloft.com

STRESS

The control of stress Is so important to the health and well being

of your pigeons, and I have mentioned it many times in my writings

and in this catalog. Stress may be caused by training, mating, racing,

showing, introducing new birds, handling, hawks in the area and so

much more. Stress lowers the ability of the pigeons immune system

and this makes it harder to fight off disease that they might of easily

fought off if not stressed. When you know your birds are going to be

under stress, I suggest preparing before hand, say 3-4 days. Any of

the products listed below will help, pick one that fits your needs such

as for a small flock, large flock, powder, liquid, etc. A real aid in reducing

stress is to spend time with your pigeons and they will get to know

you and not be stressed when you walk in.



trace elements and important amino acids.

Includes the Calcium needed to create strong bones

and cartilage which prevents what you may see as limping,

brittle eggs and deformed young in the egg. Includes the

needed small amounts of Manganese, Iron, Zinc, Copper, and Cobalt.

The inclusion of Amino Acids such as Lysine that are so important

to growth and Cholin for enhanced functioning of the liver.

Naturamine is important during the moult, breeding season, and

any stress period such as a race or show. A silky soft plumage is

guaranteed. Initially we suggest 3 tablespoons to a gallon of drinking

male corners a young one and scalps the

poor birds head. A young one may enter a nest, that is

not theirs, and the cock will most assuredly attack and

injure the youngster. I personally have had hawks attack a bird and

this is a great product to have had around. Handy pump spray bottle,

sprayed directly on the wood for 2-3 days while it is healing. Speeds

recovery and an aid in preventing infections.

and expand before using. Do not try to fill the youngsters up at

each feeding. 3-4 small feedings per day is best.

VITAMINS

There is quite a bit of controversy as to the benefits of supplementing the water

or feed with vitamins, probiotics and electrolytes. I am in contact with many vets

on a regular basis, and all agree that the use of these products is of value and

importance. If you have a virus, it is of utmost importance to add vitamins and

electrolytes to the birds water or feed. The vitamins are to help the birds thru a

virus, which is untreatable, and the electrolytes are to help a bird that quickly

become dehydrated. If your birds have loose, watery droppings, they too are

susceptible to dehydration and electrolytes should be used. Using a vitamin or

electrolyte once a week is a waste of time, it would be like you taking a one a day

vitamin, once a week. Regular use of vitamins and electrolytes, say 3-4 times a

week will do you a world of good, but only over time. Probiotics, vitamins and

electrolytes may be mixed together, combine each at the dosage on the packages.

You may want to consider some of the products that are already combine.


Contains 21 vitamins and minerals to help improve

overall health, performance, fertility and lifespan

for a wide range of species. Vionate has more Vitamin C, E and

manganese and contains nutrients like choline chloride and cobalt

Turbo Flight

If you race your pigeons, nothing is more important than

SPEED! Turbo Flight has no other purpose but to increase

the speed of your Racing Pigeons, naturally. Results of tests show that

while flying on glycogen and carbohydrates (fats) in the blood stream

and those stored in the liver, the pigeon can obtain higher speeds.

Based on the results of field testing we recommend the following: Add

one tablespoon to 2 lbs. of pigeon feed. Give this to your birds that

are going to a race the next day, in the morning and around Noon.

Basket them in the afternoon for the race the next day. Turbo Flight is

meant to be used only for pigeons that are going to race within

24 hours. Give Turbo Flight only when the pigeons will stay one

night or less in the basket. If pigeons are not allowed to fly within

24 hours after the Turbo Flight meal, they will use their added energy

for fighting in the basket…..even the hens start fighting!!! A remarkable

product and all natural but it must be used as directed! The dosage

for the Turbo Flight Capsules is one capsule just before a race or training

flight, it may be combined with Rebuild Capsules for optimum speed

and endurance. Never give Turbo Flight during the week because it

gives the birds an explosive burst of energy and the racing pigeon will

reach its peak performance before the race.

Sometimes older adult pigeons, when introduced to a new loft,

will refuse to mate. This is especially true of the flying breeds

such as Racing Homers, Tipplers, Rollers, etc. If returned to

their former loft, they will immediately go back to normal breeding

pattern. Over time, eventually go back to normal and start

the breeding pattern in the new loft, but there are times when

they never breed no matter what you do.

Occasionally during breeding season, you will notice a hen that

cannot walk. Many time, this is because the hen has laid an egg

and it depleted her reserves of calcium. Because of the lack of

the proper amount of calcium in her body, it hurts the chickens

to walk or fly. Give the bird a day or two and she will bounce

back to normal.

this page are products that will help in that area. Keep in mind that

unexpected loss of weight in pigeons when sick pigeons lose weight

it is called “going light” and this is a symptom, not a disease. Much

like you have, for some unknown reason, you do not feel well, a symptom,

but you do not know why. Droppings analysis from the pigeons

will most likely tell you the problem. If the birds seem healthy but light,

than you may want to try something from this page. I have had good

luck with raw peanuts. If the pigeons have never eaten peanuts, they

may not want to try them. If they leave peanuts in the feeder, do not

feed them again until they do eat them, once they accept the peanuts

as feed, they will actually grow to like them, and eat them first.

Brewer’s Yeast + Garlic

Brewer's Yeast is a great source of Vitamin B

Complex as well as a source of protein. Garlic

offers the benefits of a better moult, white nose wattles,

aids in digestion, reduces stress, and birds love

it. 1 tablespoon per gallon of drinking water or 1 tablespoon

feed moistened with an oil or #2531 Avio Gel. Use as often as

desired on about 21 lbs. of feed, but a minimum of 2 times a week.

Gloucose + is a Natural sugar present in a lot of plants. It is

easy to digest and is absorbed directly into the bloodstream,

this makes Glucose + extremely suitable as a quick energy provider

after a long exertion. By adding vitamin to the glucose the pigeon

is simultaneously provided with important substances for the proper

functioning of the metabolism and the pigeon can recover much faster.

Composition is Glucose (99.8% / Lactose. 2-5 level tablespoons

per liter (a bit more than a quart) of drinking water on return from a

long flight and may also be given in the drinking water when using

medicines to improve the flavor of the water. Change daily. Packed in

a large 400 gram container.


Change the water as often as possible, at least once a day.

Apple Cider Vinegar creates an acidic environment in the drinking

water and makes it much harder for bacteria such as Paratyphoid

to survive. Use only organic Apple Cider Vinegar such

as found at Foy’s. The organic apple cider vinegar will have a

cloudy appearance and needs shaken before use.

No Light Pills (Ideal Pills)

Mild laxative and conditioner for

pigeons. For pigeons off feed,

listless or “going light”. For breeding

powerful youngsters and to increase appetite.

For rearing young birds, from the

6th or 7th day give 1 pill in the morning and 1 pill in the evening. For

sick birds, give 2 pills in the morning and 2 pills in the evening. For

the liver. B-Chol is recommended after the treatment with antibiotics

to support the liver function. B-Chol includes vitamin B-12 which

helps in good condition. B-Chol promotes the moult thru the presence

of amino acids. Sulphuric amino acids are essential for the

production of keratin, the building blocks for feathers and skin.

it a great source of fat and protein. This is

a good way to add weight to the birds. They may

not eat the first time it is in front of them, but once

they eat it, they will eat it before anything else.

#7020 Raw Peanuts 10 lbs. $20.00

TIP: In my loft I use yellow sulfer swept into the floor and all the

cracks then put sand down. Spray the loft with Virkon S and my birds

are on apple cider vinegar, 1 T. per gallon from the time the season

stops until the next season starts. I put one of my friends on this program,

his birds were dying 1 or 2 a day, I cleaned his coop, put sulfer

and sand down, in 2 days no more birds died and he hasn't lost one

since. Also , go in your loft at night, once or twice a week, spray the

Oxine directly on the birds. That seemed to stop the virus dead in

its tracks. Maybe it will help. It's worth a try. That's what I do and I

haven't had a sick bird die ever. Sincerely, John G.

TREAT | REWARD

Pigeons, like people, love treats and actually look forward to them and

treats are a powerful tool in training your birds to do what you want.

I have a small flock of chickens, and they are fed layer pellets. These

chickens are free range and if for some reason I want them to come

close to the house, I have taught them to recognize my whistle, When I

started to train them, they did not know why I was whistling, but I tried

to get close to them and when I whistled, I threw them a small amount

of bread. Over a very short time, when I whistled, they just about flew

to me, and I now have them trained to eat out of my hand. Pigeons are

the same, if you want to train them, reward them. My pigeons are also

trained to come into the loft when I whistle, I never let them fly unless

they are a bit hungry. I start their training by letting them go out to the

aviary which has a removable screened in top that is easy to remove.

With the screened aviary on, I open the trap and make sure they are

all outside, some I have to catch and place outside. I then close the

trap and then place a treat in their feeder. I whistle when I do this, but

of course they do not know why I am whistling. When they come in

they find their treat. A while after the treat, I then give them their regular

feed. I do not feed them again until the next day, and I repeat the

process with the whistle and the trap closed. Over time they figure out

that's why I whistle, and they come in. When I think they are trained, I

then remove the aviary and close the trap. When I want to have them

return, I whistle and put the feed in the feeder, not enough for a meal,

just enough to entice them to return. The key is that they need to be

hungry to return. Oh, I drive my chickens crazy when I am training my

pigeons, they hear the whistle and come flying expecting a treat and I

do give them a very small amount of bread. If you have chickens and

pigeons, perhaps shake a can with feed in it as one of the signals so

as not to confuse the chickens.

PRODUCTS FOR SHOWING BIRDS

At Foy’s we get many calls or e-mails about someone coming

home from a show and their birds getting sick. After talking to

vet’s from around the world, we have come to this conclusion; The

actual show and all the accumulation of pigeons, is in most cases

not the reason your birds get sick after the show. Most vets agree

that it is the whole process of showing the birds that is the problem.

It begins with you collecting the pigeons to put them in baskets to

take to the show, this is where the stress begins. Then the actual

trip to the show, whether you take them yourself, someone else takes

them or you send them, more stress. Then you take them out of the

crates or boxes and put them in the show cages, more stress. At

some point a runner takes them out of the cage to the judging cage,

more stress. The judge then pokes at them with a judging stick,

picks them up for a better look and then the runner takes them back

to the show cage, a lot more stress. While in the show hall, they are

fed, in most cases, with a feed they are not used to and water that is

not what they drink at home. Then the whole process repeats itself as

the birds are returned to their home loft. You may want to bring your

feed with you, as well as a couple of jugs of water with you. Mark each

show cage with a notice to not feed or water the birds, you do it. It is

a fact that stress reduces the immune system and a weakened immune

system invites disease. If the immune system was strong, most

of the health issues will not occur. Your pigeons, before the whole

show process began, may have been carrying a disease but it was

never a problem because their strong immune system could fight it

off. Yes, there could have been sick birds at the show, that showed

no symptoms, and your birds might have fought it off, but their immune

system was weakened. When you show your pigeons, I would

strongly suggest that, on return from the show, do not put the birds

shown back in with your other pigeons, segregate the birds shown in

a cage or empty loft section for a minimum of two weeks. Preparation

for the show is so important as well as when you bring the birds back.

I would suggest the use of Show Water as a product to use before,

during and after any show. The segregation period is at least two

weeks out, 4 weeks is better. Just like any contest, the winners are

usually those that were prepared correctly. Preparation, preparation,

preparation, it is one of the basics of success.

Judging Stick

Extends to 2 feet, collapses to 5". Metal

with a pocket clip. You should use a judging

stick while preparing your birds for the

show room. A bird that has been trained with a

judging stick, will be much calmer in the judging

cage at a show.

#754 Judging Stick $7.00

Perfect Water

A blend of natural ingredients that serve several

functions. The product is comprised of vitamins,

electrolytes, organic acids, and probiotics made specifically

for pigeons. This is a complete, daily use product.

Used successfully by several one loft races, as well as

many breeders and flyers across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada.

Add 1/2 teaspoon per gallon of water. One jar makes over 120 gallons.

Perfect Water lowers the p.h. of the water. The growth of

good gut bacteria. Perfect Water contains a natural De-Chlorinator.

Chlorine will kill probiotics. Nothing is as important as clean safe

drinking water.

PRODUCTS FOR SHOWING BIRDS

Pedestal

I attend many shows every year and this

pedestal would certainly fill some needs at

these shows. Many shows no longer allow shavings

in the cage. Since pigeons naturally go to

the highest place, these pedestals will have your birds perched

above any droppings. They will have clean feet when they go up

for judging. Another use is when you would like to take a picture of

your birds. It looks so much better when your bird is standing on a

pedestal rather than the floor of a cage or box. 4 1/4" diameter and

Feeder / Waterer Syringes

We’ve all been faced with the decision that in order to save

a special young bird, we are going to have to hand feed it.

These syringes are also helpful when you want to measure a medication

or administer a

medication.




Many fanciers treat with antibiotics regularly, whether it is needed or not,

it becomes a habit, and in many cases a waste. Be especially careful with

youngsters as drugs may cause adverse effect much more easy than the

adults. If you did not have problems with canker last year, and have not

brought in new birds, you may want to consider skipping the preventive

treatment.

Show Water (By Dr. Pigeon)

Nothing is more important than the quality of

the birds drinking water. In response to the

many calls about their birds getting sick after a show, Foy's formulated

a product to address the problem. This is a NATURAL

product meant to help prevent viral and bacterial infections, while the

birds are in a show hall. Add to the drinking water 2-3 days before

a show, during the show and 2-3 days after the show. They

birds should not be watered, at the show by anyone but you, and you

would use the water with Show Water added. HEALTHY SHOW

WATER should be the only drinking water that the birds have access

to and should be changed every day. Contents include Eyebright

(respiratory), Plantain (Antibacterial), Marshmallow (respiratory and digestion),

Echinacea (immune system boost), Thyme (immune system

booster and disinfects), Chamomile (stress), Licorice (immune system,

stress), Apple Cider Vinegar, Detox (increases acidity of water to

reduce disease possibilities). The directions are 3 ml/cc to the 2 or

3 ounce per show cage cup. Before and after the show, you should

add 2 ½ tablespoons to a gallon and bring to the show to give to your

birds. We include a syringe to measure the 3 ml/cc used for the show

cups. Bring your own water and use only at the shows. You may want

to order a few extra syringes, perhaps the #354 35 cc or the #357 60

ml, which would make quicker than using the 6 cc syringe we include.

The normal show cup used on the show cages is 2 oz. but that may

vary. We include a 3cc syringe with every bottle of HEALTHY SHOW

WATER, so it is very easy to use at the show. You may want to order

a few extra syringes, #175, but one is all you should need at a show.

Using a syringe, add to each show cup, change every day.

Bromhexine Powder by Aviomed

Bromhexine contains the purest and most

potent source of Bromhexine-Hcl. Bromhexine

stimulates the area responsible for clearing

the respiratory system of mucus, bacteria and

dust. It also stimulates excretion of mucus that is

less thick and is excreted more easily. When Bromhexine

is combined with respiratory antibiotics such as Mycoban

(#2521) and AvioDox (#2519) it increases the levels of antibiotics in

the lung tissue. Bromhexine is of tremendous aid in the treatment of

respiratory disease in pigeons. Bromhexine may be combined with

any antibiotic used in the treatment of respiratory disease for the first

four days of treatment. Contains ultra pure, highly potent Bromhexine

Hcl 1% m/m. (Does not contain banned stimulants or doping

agents.) Warning! May only be used in the treatment of sick pigeons

and should be withdrawn 72 hours before a race, training flight or

competitive fly. Never combine with Furazolidone or Furaltadone!

pigeon needs to regulate the biological process

in the body. Vitamins are extremely important

for good health. The pigeon is unable to make

the majority of vitamins itself and consequently

these have to be absorbed through the drinking

water. Vitamins, D-Pantothenic and Nicotinic acid.

Ducolvit supports the general good health, helps in the recovery after

illness and an excellent product to use during the breeding season.

Use throughout the year, once a week. Twice a week during stressful

periods such as breeding, sickness and heavy exertion. 6 bottle caps

to a liter (Quart) of drinking water or measure out the 6 caps in to a

small container and mark how much is in the container, saving time so

that you do not have to measure out 6 caps each time. Change daily.

B-Chol Liver Tonic by

Versele-Laga

B-Chol promotes plumage

growth and moult, increases appetite,

activates the digestion, helps with the

liver function and purifies the blood.

The removal of harmful substances from

the pigeon’s body is essential for maintaining

good health. B-Chol stimulates the

excretion of bile and the proper digestion.

B-Chol will promote the discharge of harmful substances and fats for

the liver. B-Chol is recommended after the treatment with antibiotics

to support the liver function. B-Chol includes vitamin B-12 which helps

in good condition. B-Chol promotes the moult thru the presence of

amino acids. Sulphuric amino acids are essential for the production

of keratin, the building blocks for feathers and skin. A unique

blend based on sulphuric amino acids, biotin, sorbitol and vitamin B12.

Composition: Liquid sorbitol / Saccharose. 2 bottle caps (10 ml) to a

quart of water or 2 ½ tablespoons to a gallon. 2 days a week during the

moulting season and for five consecutive days after use of antibiotics.


If you like to add medicine, supplements, vinegar, etc. I would suggest

you not use a galvanized metal drinker. Many products, over

time, will corrode the metal. Pigeons mate for life, but if one of

the pair is taken away or dies, the other will re-mate to another

bird very quickly. You may switch around eggs and babies at any

time. The babies need to be just about the same size and the eggs

no more than 1-2 days of the date laid. I mark all my eggs with a

sharpie, the day laid for just this reason.

Herbolan Liquid Tonic by Versele-Laga

Greater stamina, increased disease resistance,

give it once a week. Do not mix with other products. Acid Pak 4 Way

is very economical to use as all you add is ¼ teaspoon per one gallon

you deem necessary.


#686 Breakaway Liquid 128 oz. 119.00

There are just a few things that will cause a pigeon to vomit. The

first thing I would suspect is if you have recently wormed your birds

with a product such as Levimazole, don’t be concerned, the drug

will still do its job, but in the future, use Levimazole on an empty

stomach. Adeno Virus is another thing that will cause a pigeon to

vomit. Like most viruses, it is not treatable, it must run its course.

What you can do is switch to a feed such as Pigeon Candy or

Short Beak feed, they contain grains that are much easier digested.

Treating with an antibiotic during a bout of any virus, does not

treat the virus, but does treat secondary infections which are quite

common with a virus.

NPA LEGACY FUND

As a pigeon fancier for over 65 years, and owner of a pigeon business for over 25 years, I have

witnessed the slow decline of the hobby. There a number of reasons for this decline, and most can

figure out the reasons. Eleven years ago, some far sighted National Pigeon Fanciers, decided to

look at the future a create a vehicle to fund projects that would help the great hobby of keeping

pigeons. The NPA Legacy Fund Trust was created and started to accept contributions. The fund

raising started out slowly, people had to get used to the idea and many waited to be sure the idea

worked and would grow. Although the National Pigeon Association Legacy Fund Trust is an arm of the National Pigeon Association, it is meant to benefit or help the

entire pigeon hobby. The Trust accepts contributions from all those who have an interest in supporting the great hobby. We have received contributions from family

members of pigeon fanciers, both in honor of or in memorial. We have received contributions from non NPA members who enjoy their pigeons and want to help the

hobby. Many clubs have sent in contributions and some of these clubs do or plan to, make a contribution every year. All contributions are cumulative, meaning every

time you contribute, your contributions accumulate and you are getting closer to the next contribution level. Contributions, when they reach $100.00 or more, are

recognized in the National Pigeon Association Quarterly, twice a year. The contribution will also be listed on the NPA website.

Gold Band Level The first level, which is $100.00 which is needed to be listed forever in the Quarterly and the web site. A certificate is sent to the contributor in case

of a memorial or the to the person honored.

Ruby Band Level

Platinum Band Level

The second level which is the $500.00 level, and a Ruby Certificate, in a frame, is awarded.

The third level is reached when contributions reach the $1000.00 level. Another appreciative framed certificate is sent.

Other levels are in place, they are;

Diamond $5000.00 Presidents $10,000.00 Vision $50,000.00

Some of our members have included the Trust in their wills, and this is a great way of their recognizing the need and doing what they can to continue this great hobby.

One such person has made us aware of a future contribution of $15,000, and others have also added the Trust to their will. If you are person who would consider

adding the Trust to your will, please inform us of this future contribution.

Listed below are all of the contributors, to date. Another way to help is to consider donating pigeon related items or pigeons. The Trust plans on having an auction in

the future and each item sold at this auction, will be recognized and if the contribution garners $100.00 or more, the appropriate level will be listed as if it were a cash

contribution. If the auctioned items do not reach the $100.00 dollar level or for that matter is close to any level, the contributor may add to the amount. For instance,

your contribution reaches $75.00, if you send in a contribution of $25.00 and you will have attained the Gold Band Level.

Contributions are to made out to NPA LFT and mailed to Jerry Gagne, Chairman LFT, 3170 Bennett’s Run Rd., Beaver Falls, Pa. 15010 724-359-5355

62 GARLIC | NATURAL ANTIBIOTIC PRICES | SUBJECT APPETITE TO CHANGE | PROBIOTICS | PERFECT WATER 62

Garlic is what most fanciers consider a natural antibiotic. Garlic contains

allicin which affects bacteria directly, just like antibiotics. Garlic aids with

digestion, boosts the immune system and strengthens the whole body.

The allicin in garlic has a strong antibacterial effect against streptococci,

which may be the cause of some respiratory problems. Garlic, being considered

a natural antibiotic, and in many cases you can avoid the use of

damage than benefits. Garlic should not be used with antibiotics.

plant throughout history because of its broad

health promoting function. Garlic contains unique and

WHAT ARE ELECTROLYTES - Electrolytes are natural products based on salts

and minerals. During a flight a lot of minerals are used, quicker recovery can be

promoted by giving electrolytes and sugars. A product that contains both electrolytes

and the electrolytes also offer quick recovery and replaces body fluids lost by the

exertion of flights. It is suggested that you use electrolytes during an outbreak of

intestinal problems that create diarrhea.

Digestal Plus Florastimul Powder

by Versele-Laga

There are bacteria in pigeons digestive

tract which are essential for a good digestion. There

are good bacteria predominate in a healthy pigeon.

However if the pathogenic bacteria (BAD) predominate,

the pigeon will have watery droppings resulting

in loss of large amounts of fluids and electrolytes.

When you give antibiotics, the antibiotic kills all bacteria,

both good and bad. Digestal serves as a food for the good intestinal

flora (probiotics) and will also ensure that the pathogenic (bad) bacteria

are no longer able to stick to the intestinal wall so that the natural

intestinal flora can recover. The goal is always to prevent disease, and

the regular use of Digestal is a huge step in that direction. Composition:

Citrus Pulp, Dextrose, Sodium Chloride and Mannanoligosacchrides

(MOS). In Europe, it is understood that many pigeon products

get the best results when used on the feed. One measure (included)

to 1 kg (2.2 lbs.) of feed that has been dampened with a top quality

oil such as Ferti-Oil or Form-Oil Plus. Uses include when you have

watery diarrhea (e.g. Young Bird Disease), in youngsters preventatively

two or three times a week after they have been weaned and

after they return from a race or competitive fly, for two days before the

race or competition. Make fresh daily.

Many medications lose some of their potency a short time after

opening. If the medication is not in a tight screw type container and

"White Pigeons: The Color of Money"

When I wrote this booklet, I wrote it for the folks

getting into the white dove release business. I

now realize that the book does fill that need, but it is also a

good booklet for those with little information about keeping

pigeons. I guess another good title for the book would

have been, Pigeons for Dummies. The information is very

basic and if you are an experience pigeon keeper, but not in the dove

release business, you probably don’t need this basic information. The

WHITE BIRD RELEASE(bold) business is growing in leaps and bounds,

and is an excellent way to add some extra income or a lot of extra income.

If you are retired, it might add a bit of income to your retirement

income. Chapters in clue;” Where Do I Start?”, “The New Building”,

“Loft Maintenance”, “Feed and Feeding”, “Health and Management”,

“Breeding, “Training “and “Advertising”. Having written the booklet, I

know that I could not cover anything. If you have pigeons and have unanswered

questions, please contact Foy’s at 724-843-6889 and ask

acid to be produced in the muscles and the pigeon has greater

stamina during the flight. Through an optimized metabolism

of fat, the pigeon produces more and better quality crop milk.

emulsify the oils inside the birds body to help them better absorb

is a great source of Omega 6 which keeps the feather and skin

healthy. Hemp seed oil has the benefit of supplying Omega 3 antioxidants

as well as some vitamins and minerals. Walnut oil is rich in

Melatonin that regulates moulting and breeding. Krill oil is the best

source of Omega 3 and also helps Perfect Oil from going rancid at

room temperature. Krill oil is 48 times more potent in ORAC antioxidant

power than fish oil. ORAC is a standard that antioxidant values

are measured, and Krill oil has one of the highest ORAC values on

the planet. Soy oil is a much better carrier than Sunflower oil which is

normally used in oil mixes. Oil does not mix well with water so Perfect

Oil is used over the feed at the rate of one teaspoon to three pounds

of feed. It is suggested that you start using PERFECT OIL two weeks

before breeding season all the way thru to the weaning of the young

birds, but it may be used year round and also may be used every day

Used as directed should treat over 50 lbs. of feed. Change daily. Do

not use more than directed. SHAKE WELL BEFORE USING. With

the inclusion of Krill Oil to the Perfect Oil, you have an oil will keep the

I read your poem and liked it too,

And now I send my thanks to you.

My bird returned this early morn

Hearty and well but little worn.

He did not figure in the race,

Perhaps it was too fast a pace

For a three-month-old to fly,

Thru such vast space and burning sky.

He sends his thanks for your good sense

And perhaps some day in recompense

He'll stop again to be your guest,

And if he does here's my request:

Natural Grit

Mixture of Silex, Red Stone and Oyster

Shells. It does not contain any appetiteenhancing

substances. The various components

are essential for optimum digestion and to increase

the effectiveness of the grinding of the grains in the

gizzard so that all nourishing substances can be

perfectly assimilated. The red brick particles and

the shell fragments provide the necessary minerals

and trace-elements. The grit is heated to over 200 C to eliminate

all harmful micro-organisms. Grit should always be available so

that the pigeons can help themselves accordingly. Imported from

Belgium.

Pigeon Grit

(Moyer's)

Pigeons need a

constant source of grit in order

to digest grains. Pigeon

grit differs from chicken grit.

If you feed pellets, you do

not need grit. Chicken or Parakeet grit might be too small. Pick Pots

and Pick Stones are an alternative to red grit Contains Oyster Shell,

Granite, heat-treated Silica, Calcite, Potassium Sulfate, Magnesium

Sulfate, Zinc Oxide, Calcium Carbonate, etc.

flock as feed or water. Our pigeon grit concentrate has essential

and hard to find trace minerals. You will need to add 50 pounds

each of granite grit and crushed oyster shell, which should be available

at a local co-op. More economical than premixed, prepackaged

grit. Use as a mineral supplements, your birds will love it. A great buy.

You must have grit!

stones, oyster shells, redstones, plus anise

oil which the birds love. The stomach grit and

Oyster Shell

A natural source of calcium. A

must before and during breeding

to produce smooth, hard shell eggs. If the

grit you use does not contain oyster shell, we

suggest you add some. A good pigeon grit may

contain as much as 45% oyster shell. Especially

important if you have a hen locked up for breeding.

The loose crushed oyster shell may be used by itself in small

containers or add to your grit.

Feeding Trays

I think this is a really great idea for the fancier

who enjoys spending time in the loft, feeding

the birds. This is a method the Europeans have enjoyed

for years. Place the tray on the floor and place

feed in it. The birds will flock to the floor and eat from the tray, keeping

the floor clean. They will push and shove trying to get to the choice

seeds, and that's part of the fun. When you have decided they have

had enough, remove the tray. This allows you to control the feed and

the birds become quite tame. Ring a bell, shake a can of feed or use

a whistle everytime you feed and they will quickly recognize the sound

as feeding time. Do not dump a bunch of feed in the tray. Add a

handful at a time. Colors vary.

CHICKEN GUARD

Heavy Duty Floor "Grates"

Available in the large, time saving,

19.5" x 19.5" x 2.5". They are

strong enough to hold anyone walking on

them and each grate locks into the one

next to it. Birds are much less likely to nest

on the floor and over open floor joists, it

allows droppings to fall through and lots of

fresh air coming up. Used in Europe for years. Easy to lock together

and easy to unlock.

#3558 Large Floor Grate 19.5" x 19.5" x 3.5" High $13.00

Heavy Duty Cage / Nest Box Grill

A larger and heavier grill that may be used in

cages, nest box or under a water container.

May be cut to size. 15" X 15" with eight snap-on

legs.

#1090 Heavy Duty Cage Grill $8.00

#1091 Heavy Duty Cage Grill 6 for 30.00

Wood Floor Grate

A really heavy duty wood floor grate

of solid oak, which measures 47

1/2" X 39 1/2". These units may be used as

a floor for a new loft, or as a built up floor

for your existing floor. Because of the super

strength of the grate, it needs no center support, only support

around the edges. Other possible uses are at the entrance to

your loft to clean your feet or as a deck around the loft. Because

of the size, we can not ship the grate by UPS, unless we cut it in

half, lengthwise. We will cut it at no additional charge. If you order

10 or more, it need not be cut and we will ship it via truck freight.

#1649 Wood Floor Grate $60.00

Basket or Nest Box Grill

This multi-purpose grill may be placed in

a nest box, carrying basket or in a show

cage. Keeps the birds standing on a grill rather

than droppings. Sits up a full 3/4" of the ground.

Easily cut to a special size. All plastic, white grill. A

large 14.5"x13.5"x2" high.

hold the cone in place. 11 ¼” across the top, 3 ½” at the

bottom and 13 ½” from top to bottom. Other uses may

be to hold the chicken in place while placing a band on

it's leg. Too large for pigeons.

#3384 Chicken Holding Cone $13.00

Door Glide Kit

These hard to find kits allow you to save space in your

loft and improve access. Your doors will slide open and

in this way you don’t need room for a door to swing in or out. Metal guide

rails, 2 glider wheels, a door guide and all needed screws. 59" long.

Show Cage Grill

These lightweight grills are designed for

placing in a show cage. Many clubs

have discontinued the use of shavings in

a show hall. Without something for the

bird to stand on, they will be standing in

their own droppings. The grill may also be

used in a nest box, under the nest bowl.

I personally use them under my water containers. Moisture that collects

under the water container will be a breeding ground for disease.

You may also use them on the bottom of your carrying basket which

keeps the bird’s feet clean without the use of shavings, which may

irritate the bird’s eyes. Easily cut to fit any basket. 9 3/4" X 9 3/4".

hook allows you to catch the chicken by the leg. The wire shaft is

strong and durable steel.

#1479 Fowl Catcher $16.00

Catching Net

Great to catch the birds when they are

trying to avoid you. As we get older, they

seem to fly faster and are harder to catch.

The netting is a fine mesh and will not catch

on their wings or feet. 24" long handle, 18"

hoop and the net is 22" deep.

of our Foy’s Bob Traps are made with a pine wood frame that is cut

smooth and sanded for a very smooth finish. It would be a good idea

to paint or varnish the wood for years and years of use. If you plan

on building your own trap, you will need one space for each trap.

The spacer keeps the first bob from hitting the wood frame. Included

with the trap is a turn button that holds the bobs in the up position

to allow the birds access to the outside, or the aviary. 3/16” heavy

Foy's Aluminum Trap

Finally a trap that will last a lifetime and

no worry about rotting out over time. The

AMERICAN ALUMINUM TRAP is made in Ohio by

our own John Raber. John has been working for

Foy's for quite a few years now, and we constantly receive compliments

about his quality wood products, and in the last couple of years

he has been able to create new products such as our Aluminum Bobs.

The AMERICAN ALUMINUM TRAP, is made similar to our Foy's Bob

Trap. In order to release the birds to fly outside, lock the bobs in the

up position, and they are free to come and go as they please. Drop

the bobs down and they no longer can go outside after they return

and drop into the loft. The bobs may also be locked into place and in

this position it will prevent anything from entering the lost. The heavy

Duty bobs are 3/16" thick but very lightweight. The bobs will not bend

if a bird or critter tries to enter when they are locked in position. All

aluminum construction with plastic corners, will not rust or corrode.

Custom sizes are available, please contact Foy's for a quote.

Foy’s 3-1 Trap and Landing Perch

This handy unit is great for someone with

a smaller loft. The trap when down, allows

the birds to enter but can not go out. In the up position,

they can come and go as they please. The landing perch

becomes a varmint guard to block the opening in the up

position. In the down position it is a landing perch when

the birds return from a flight. The perch is a wood frame with a heavy

gauge mesh wire, which allows the droppings to fall through to the

ground. The trap is wood frame with feather light hanging aluminum

wires (bobs). Available in two sizes. The standard has a 12" x 18"

trap and a 12 1/2" x 18" landing perch. Call for quote on custom size.

#2136 Large 3-1 Trap and Perch $62.00

#2137 Large Perch Only 30.00

Aviary

Because this is meant to be

outside, we suggest you prime

and paint the wood to make it last years and years.

There may be a high shipping charge for the extra

large Aviary due to it's size. All the Aviaries include

a small hook and eye to attach the Aviary to the outside loft wall, one

never knows when a large hawk might land on the Aviary and dislodge

it. The hook is an aid in preventing this. When you want your

birds to have free access to fly outside, just remove the whole aviary.

The small is 18" long x 12 1/2" x 12 1/2" high. The medium is 24"

long x 12 1/2" x 12 1/2" high. The large is 36" x 12 1/2" The extralarge

Aviary is 48" long x 18" x 18" high.

#2169 Large Aviary 28.00

#2170 Extra-Large Aviary 65.00

Extra Large Landing Perch

This landing perch is meant for the fancier with a larger

flock. When your birds are outside and flying, on their

return, they need a place to land and then enter the loft. This Extra-

Large landing perch is meant to be used by itself or with the Extra-

Large Aviary. The landing perch has a wire floor that allows pigeon

droppings to fall to the ground under it. Many lofts are eight foot long,

so if you want a landing perch that will go the total length of the loft,

purchase two of these Extra-Large Landing Perches, which are four

feet long, and install them side by side. The landing perch comes with

two supports that hold the perch level and sturdy. The wire used is 1"

x 1/2" which is small enough to allow the pigeons to walk on it with no

problem. The perch is also a good place to have your bath pan, this

allows the splashed water to fall to the ground. When you use a bath

pan in the loft, the floor always gets wet. 48" long, projects out from

the loft 18". The landing perch is framed in white pine, and knowing

it will be exposed to all kinds of weather, we suggest you prime and

paint the wood for added years of use.

#1670 Extra-Large Landing Perch $49.00

Pigeon Trap

We receive many calls

asking if we have a trap

to catch wild pigeons. Used by individuals

trapping to rid an area of unwanted

birds. Heavy duty 16-gauge

welded wire frame. Door on top for easy removal. It works great! 36"

x 18" x 8". Catches them alive!

#343 Pigeon Trap $55.00

Pigeon and Other Bird Trap

A large pigeon trap with some very

unique benefits. There is a large lift

up door, on top, to remove caught birds.

The door measures 10” X 7” and is locked

in position to prevent escape. The strong

bobs are located on each end, and only swing in. There are six hanging

bobs on each end, the total opening where the bobs hang are

8” X 7”. The birds are attracted to the bait and enter the trap but

cannot exit the trap. If possible, place a bird or two in the trap, this

attracts other birds. Add some pigeon feed for bait, or just corn. If the

trap is going to sit all day, add a water drinker that will not tip over.

The wire of the trap is 1” x 1” and plastic coated. This is a large trap

and will catch and hold many birds. 40” Long, 16 1/4” Wide and 12”

High. Used by professional bird trapper’s in Europe for many years.

#3379 Pigeon and Other Bird Trap $79.00

Ketch All Mouse Trap

Automatic, catches up to 15

mice at 1 setting. Rodent’s

instinct to investigate nooks and crannies is the bait.

Once inside, trigger mechanism flips animal into interior

chamber. No more need to leave poison out. Safe and

convenient.

#339 Ketch All Mouse Trap $22.00

It is a good idea, if possible, to move your drinker around

from place to place. Putting in in the same place every time

may create a damp spot and bugs will collect under it.

81 BIRD SHIPPING BOXES PRICES | CARRYING SUBJECT CARTONS CHANGE | WORLD WAR II MILITARY

81

Horizon Micro-Environments has been manufacturing these high quality mailing boxes for over 26 years.

They are the most well known and highly respected company in their field. Horizon makes post office and

I.A.T.A. approved shipping boxes for birds and nothing else. They are true innovators and continue to improve

and create new products. All boxes include plastic ties.

SHIPPING BOXES

I SHIP HUNDREDS OF PIGEONS EVERY YEAR, and these are the boxes I use,

They are strong, well ventilated and easy to carry. I do tape the bottom edges

before I put the birds in the box. We are so lucky to be able to ship birds thru the

post office. I do not want to upset them by having shavings dust escaping thru

the bottom cracks. I also do not complain if they are supposed to be there in one

day and they take two days. I once had a shipment get lost and it took six days to

get to my customer, would you believe every bird arrived alive! No feed or water

for 6 days, arriving in two is absolutely not a problem.

CARING FOR BIRDS (THE DO'S AND DON'TS)

DO

• Feed and water birds prior to shipping.

• Place litter or bedding in the bottom of the box to collect moisture,

reduce odors, and provide a foothold.

• Call the recipient and give them the tracking number and expected

arrival date.

• Write the shipping address on the box in case shipping label

comes off.

• Add #295 Save-A-Chick to the drinking water 2-3 days before shipping.

DON'T

• Ship injured, ill or birds under unusual stress.

• Do not remove the white breathable membrane from over the vent

holes. The membrane protects your birds from airborne disease,

reduces excitability, stress, and is required by postal regulations.

• Do not ship birds in very hot or very cold weather conditions. It is

hotter in the box and extreme heat can be fatal to your birds.

IF IN DOUBT - DON'T SHIP.

• Do not over pack the box. To many birds in a box can cause

over-heating and stress which can be harmful or fatal.

• Do not ship birds over the weekend or holiday. They may become

stranded.

• DON'T MEDICATE WHEN SHIPPING BIRDS.

Collapsible Show Cages

If you are serious about showing your birds, it is very important

that you start training them early. Training means getting them used

to being in a judging pen and the pigeon show cage. Work with them

regularly with a judging stick so that they will not be wild when you

enter them in a show. All wire construction, manufactured with a galvanized

wire alloy. All wires are electrically welded. Judging pens measure

22" x 30" x 27" high. Pigeon show cages are 2 compartments of

15" x 15" x 16" high, 30" total length. Other sizes are available, please

call for a quotation. Because of their size, shipping will be based on

weight plus extra for being oversized.

Imported Show / Judging Cage

Used to train you birds to be comfortable

while going through the show judging process,

which gives the birds a better chance to win by

not flying around during the show and judging process.

You should work with your birds, placing them in the judging cage

and moving them around using a judging stick, just as a judge does.

Handle the birds, placing them in the judging cage, removing them

and handling them just like a judge would. The unique feature of the

imported judging cage is that it includes a floor that allows you to

place the cage anywhere while training the birds to get used to being

judged. If you are having a guest look at your birds, it is great to have

the judging cage set up so that your guest or prospective buyer can

look and handle the birds. The cage is held to the bottom tray by two

springs and the top is held in place by another two springs. The swing

out door makes for easy access to the bird or birds. 24" X 24" x 23

1/2" high. Collapsible for ease storage of taking it to another location.

The bottom tray is galvanized steel and the wire spacing is an inch.

Spanish Style Cage Drinker

Extremely well made and very well designed. The

units come in two sections and come apart for cleaning

and filling. Heavy, commercial grade plastic, will last a

lifetime with minimum care. The drinking ports protrude out

and offer easy access for the birds and also help prevent

debris and droppings from fowling the water. Just about impossible,

because of the design, for birds to roost on top of the drinker. Mainly

used in breeding, isolation or sick bay. I use them and am quite

pleased with them.
