Not uncommon this time of year, often coincides with them throwing their 9th or last flight. Once the new flight bursts through and the soreness diminish the droppings go back to normal.

One Vet put it to me like this, when we go down with a bout of flu we feel lethargic, nauseous, light headed and lose our appetite. We're not given antibiotics to cure but instead told to rest and take it easy. He told me to look at y/b/s as the equivalent of us having the flu...... no cure and advised rest was the best course of action. That's £30 thank you!

http://www.vha.asn.au/vet-corner/ Virkon is the band name of a disinfectant primarily marketed to disinfect poultry sheds. We have had some fanciers contact us saying that they have been advised that putting Virkon in the drinking water is a treatment for Salmonella. This is not the case. I personally have spoken to the product"s manufacturer, Virkon can be safely used in the pigeon loft as a disinfectant and to clean drinkers and hoppers. It has the advantage of not being poisonous if residues are swallowed. Putting the disinfectant deliberately into the drinking water with the belief that this is treating a bacterial infection of the bowel is erroneous.

I first encountered it in 1990, purchased 6 Boykin youngsters from a fella in Liverpool and 3 of the 6 showed signs of what we now call y/b/s. At the time I talked about it to old hands asking what could be wrong with them, got the same response from all ' something they must've picked up pecking around'. The following year I bred from these and their youngsters went down with it along with a few of my own. I came to the conclusion which I still believe to this day is that once a pigeon has contacted y/b/s it becomes a carrier, passing it onto their young where it remains dormant in them until put under stress. No cures or preventative treatment for it, just have to accept it and manage it when it flares up.

I'm debating whether that classes him as an early riser or not

If everyone took the stance of sending untrained youngsters racing what would the outcome be? Surely Its not the answer!
