Aldo on page 2 i posted this will go through all your young birds doesnt matter if younger or older young birds if you dont send swab off or droppings you wont have a young bird left in a month.

aldo 1 have they been drinking out of the gutters on the house ? also i would take a crop swab and droppings from a few young birds and send them off to get tested i think you might have streptococcus while your waiting for results to come back get a 50g tub of amoxncillian from nigel cowood treat for 6 to 12 days i think you will find more young birds going down with the same problem.

Half an hour before basketing i put the nest bowls in the boxes and lock the cocks in the half of the box with the nest bowl i go have my tea and basket the hens the cocks will be very low in the bowls calling the hens and i place the hen basket in the loft and release the hens then i start letting the hens into the boxes but i dont let any cocks tread the hens.Do this every week and the cocks get know when you put the bowl in the box the hens will be coming into the loft some weeks i just show the bowl its all about motivation.
