Here's a tip on using CTL Supplements.
This will produce perfect droppings over night.
Have your birds on the thirsty side. Mix the CTL Supplements very thick in their water. Like a slurry. Then they will rush to get a drink before it settles to the bottom. Each time you go to water them thereafter, just add fresh water without pouring the supplements out. Add water morning and evening until the water in the bowl becomes clear again.
We don't recommend doing this permanently, just as a jump start when the droppings are looking a little bit "off".
Don't ignore wet nests!....
If you have pairs in individual nest, this method helps also.

PREPARE FOR THE SHOW SEASON
It's almost time for the show season. If you haven't taken extreme care of your birds throughout the year, you'll really have to make up the difference between now and the time the shows start. Birds have been shucking feathers for about a month now and growing their new plumage. Don't expect to beat the fellow who cares for his birds 24-7 Three hundred and sixty-five days a years.
Did you know that most fanciers whether showing or racing, treat their birds like "crap" until it's time for them to perform? When it comes time to race or show, they try to play "catch-up" by applying every home remedy they've ever heard of.
It's easy to beat these kind of people if you do the little significant things year-round.
Our Chisholm Trial Supplements are designed to accelerate the molt and bring out the best when replacing old feathers. Use our Chisholm Trail Supplements year round.

CHISHOLM TRAIL NATURAL SUPPLEMENTS
As most of you know, Steve Gaskin holds no secrets when it comes to the health concerns of his birds and as a good sportsman, he's interested in the health of your birds as well. He is extremely competitive but has a great desire to bring others along who wish to share the success of raising and showing world class Jacobins. For this reason, Steve has graciously asked us here at Chisholm Trial Loft to give you a brief overview of our Chisholm Trail Supplement program. Hopefully, you too will see, experience, and reap the rewards of owning extremely health / competitive birds.
Chisholm Trial Supplements are a proprietary blended unit of numerous ingredients from around the world, each ingredient having it’s own specific property and duty in regard to the overall health of the pigeon. Many of our ingredients are derived from herbs, plants and plant root extracts which the birds can not forage for themselves, nor can these ingredients be purchased at your local health food store. Others are derived scientifically from yeast extracts and enzymes.
Our formula addresses numerous specific areas of concern for the show and performance birds. There are ingredients which coat the intestinal lining and act as a prophylactic toward pathogens i.e.. e-coli, salmonella, etc. which would attach to the intestinal wall and eventually debilitate or kill the bird. Another area which we have addressed is the reproduction. There are ingredients which are vital in the health and formation of the sperm cell, a healthy oviduct, and yolk-sac nutrition. (Many youngster die from a lack of yolk-sac nutrition before the parents can start their milk).
We've addressed your bird's heath needs by adding an ingredient which binds ammonia up to 75%. Ammonia is the culprit when it comes to respiratory infections (other than mechanical). Ammonia cuts through the mucous membrane and allows pathogen and virus penetration. More oxygen means more cellular respiration which means robust youngsters. We've added enzymes which break down the food for better utilization and economy. Other ingredients bind molds and mildews which affect the liver. A healthy liver affects bird performance on all levels.
Birds on Chisholm Trial Supplements exhibit feather quality beyond normal expectations. Areas of the anatomy such as beak, toenail, skin, eye are readily seen in birds bred and raised on CTL Supplements. Fanciers are reaching goals of winning in exhibition who in time past only dreamed of distant achievement.
Don't let yourself be swept up into the anti-biotic cycle of diminishing returns which can only lead to failure. Fifteen years of success for Chisholm Trail Natural Supplements and other clients like Steve Gaskin has proven to us that we have an easy to apply, one size fits all program that will even make the novice look professional.

Chronic loft health problems
Occasionally a fancier will call us to say that their birds continue to get sick even after using our Chisholm Trail Health supplements religiously. Invariably, when analyzing their issues we make some of the following discoveries.
1. Their loft is closed up too tightly. This can cause a mechanical problem from dust or ammonia accumulation. Many times the fancier is too hard headed to get out there and change the loft configuration. Birds need clean / fresh air / oxygen. A loft must be well ventilated!
2. They are trying to tend to every sick bird they find as if their loft is an infirmary for these birds. Sick birds should be isolated and treated with antibiotics. Our Chisholm Trail Supplements are not entirely for cures, but for achieving and maintaining health.
3. They are losing babies in the nest because of inferior nesting materials. Some nest pads and carpet pieces are good for the babies to get a grip with their toenails, but these materials sometime contain formaldehyde or other chemicals. These chemicals can be breathed or absorbed through the naval of the youngster causing death around banding time.
4. They often are notorious for bringing in a large number of new pigeons and throwing them in with their healthy birds without isolating and examining the new birds. When you purchase birds from fanciers who maintain their birds on antibiotics, these birds usually fall apart when the antibiotics cease. Leaving one to wonder what’s happening.
5. They think that our Chisholm Trail Supplements are a cure-all and preventative for all things. There are some things that still need attention, such as worms. Occasionally, canker is too strong in a loft for our supplements to overcome, especially in young birds, so a person should be on guard for these things. Some breeders are "carriers".
6. Their loft has open access for wild birds such as starling and sparrows. If these birds can enter or sit overhead and dispense their droppings into the feed or water, you will most definitely be plagued with on going problems.
If you have any of these problems and continue to ignore them, you are being foolish, for they won’t just go away. You must address each issue as soon as possible. When you do this, your peace of mind will return.

CTL Supplements in South Africa
Here's a comment from one of our South African Clients. This person's race record is phenominal.
Thank you for your comment relating to my race results. As you know it takes a lot of things that need to happen correctly to fly well. If you think about your loft (Ventilation and hygiene), pigeons (Quality),management, health, training, feeding, dedication etc. it's difficult to assign success to either one of the mentioned subjects. It's probably how well you can blend these areas to achieve optimal results with your birds. What I can say is that I like to use your products because it generally promotes natural health and vitality in the birds without having to grab the medicine bottle for every single ailment. It enables me to train the birds, and see them getting fitter step by step with a lot less risk in them suffering a setback due to some kind of disease. I find the pigeon sport much more enjoyable by using your products as the basis of my health program. To what extent it improved my results, I'm not sure, what I'm sure about is that it would be 10 times harder to fly pigeons without the CTL products. Thank you for this amazing product.

LET'S MIX IT UP

Here's what we use to mix our feed with Chisholm Trail Supplements. This small electric mixer cost $200.00 + and holds 50 pounds of feed. We put the feed in the barrel and add 1/4th cup Chisholm Trail Supplements with an equal amount of liquid, rotating such as garlic juice, citrus juice, various oils, vegitable juice, etc. When the mixing is finished, we pour the feed back into the bag or barrel, ready to be fed. We purchased our mixer at a farm and ranch supply store.
