Where can this be got from

some of the birds i have are yawning, what is causing this?

I used it for about 10 days as recommended on the tub.

I used 5% Kuur+ from Travipharma. I am going to try some Spartrix tablets to see if this sorts it out.

My birds have been very down lately and they have been really puffy in the feathering and no life at all. I have treated them for canker, cocci, a course of Parastop. I treated last week for a Yeast infection with Nystatin. I checked the birds tonight and found several small white/yellow spots in the roof of the birds mouth. I have enclosed a photo of the bird with the worst symptoms. Click on the picture to a proper look.

why put potassium permangonate in the water what benefits does this have?

I let mine out a few days ago and they exercised for about 1 hour. If you go up to them they look fine but come away and the feather go all puffy again. I have ordered some Nystatin anyway to see if this does solve my problem.

One of my club members has come to have a look at them and has suggested they could be suffering from a yeast infection and has suggested Nystatin. Could this be a possible cause?

They are eating fine, they fly around for a short time to get there perches then back to looking like this.

Droppings are fine. Just all look like this.

All my birds are looking like this, can someone help me please with any advice as I am fast becoming disheartened with them like this.

I have plenty of air flow through my loft its just the front of the loft I have covered up. I still have vents in the doors and a big vent at the top at the back of the loft.

My birds look dreadful. They have really loose feathering. I am not sure if it is due to the cold or if there is something more going on. They are lethagic and there feathering is puffed out. I have treated them for Canker and they are taking Parastop at the moment. Several are sneezing. The droppings are like marbles with white caps so not too concerned with that. I have had a draught blowing through my loft and I have covered the front up with plastic sheets now to stop this. I am not sure if all birds are like this in this cold weather or if mine have picked up a chill or something? If they have caught a chill or something what is the best thing I can do to get them back into condition?

I went to a show the other day and in the pens a good many pigeons had there wings dropped down below their tails. Why do they do this? The cocks were not showing up to the hens and it was both cocks and hens. It was old birds at the show, is it because the muscles in the wings are not as strong from the prisoner stock birds?

The bird was sent last week and was my 1st bird home about 10 minutes behind the winner. However, she shouldnt be looking like that. I am sure I have some form of bacteria infection.

does anyone know where I can get some ciprofloxacin from?

Hiya Bigda, there is no way mice can get into the shed. It is like fort knocks. Even if they got into the first section (which is no possible) there is another door to get through into the main loft. There is no chance of this what so ever. I really am at a loss and getting fed up with this really quickly. I am planning on another visit back to the vet. I have been reading up on paramyxo but my birds have all be vaccinated. I just dont know what else to do.

I have checked the inside of the mouth and all is fine and clear. This pigeon whenever on his own resting looks like this. When you go near her, she pucks back up normal. The feather seem to stand on end? Anyone experienced this before?

I have been to the vet due to my birds having watery droppings. He checked and prescribed canker pills and haxmatia drugs. Amoxicillin was given for 5 days. My birds are still producing watery droppings like the one below. Can anyone offer any advice please?

Some of my birds have laid tonight. Is it to late for breeding?

cheers for all your comments and posts. What about exercise and training Thursday?

Its just the same as if you feed in hopper you dont know either! The only way is to feed on the perch I guess, but not practical when you have 60 young birds. But I put in 1oz for each pigeon and when its gone thats it. So if one wants to eat faster than the others, then the others will need to eat faster next time! lol.

I feed on the clean floor, get the birds coming to me

hiya m8, is that 1.2 oz or 1/2 oz?

what about feeding only maize tonight as much as they want? Is this going to be better than feeding the young bird mix?
