lordcornwallis Posted March 5, 2008 Report Posted March 5, 2008 hi there can you vaccinate old birds when thay are feeding young and sitting eggs? or about to lay.
PIGEON_MAN Posted March 5, 2008 Report Posted March 5, 2008 Personally I would vacinate whilst they are sitting but cant remember reading anywhere that you cant vaccinate at anytime,except in the middle of racing.
Guest IB Posted March 5, 2008 Report Posted March 5, 2008 I would say a definite NO. Lot of what you give the birds ends up in the milk. The youngsters are already carrying passive PMV immunity from their parents - passed either thro the egg or the milk, not sure which. You are told not to vaccinate youngsters under 21 days old for that reason - they have passive immunity and it will affect the taking of the vaccine. I've no idea what the effects of PMV antibodies + Pmv vaccine together would have in a very young pigeon, but sure don't like the sound of it.
