get them tested

[bewted]

there could be lots of things as to why they have greasy wattles,,,,,,,,,mostly i would say could be respiritory and not enough fresh air,,,,,,but,,not knowing your set up and feed and cleaning regime,,,,its just a guess for now,,,sorry cant help more !

[Guest shay]

you would need to worry very seriously wether breeding or not,,,,,,,,as could be big problem,not saying it is,but,if not breeding yet as lots are not,then i would be looking very close indeed for cause to be 100% sure all ok first !

 

[Guest shay]

they arnt breeding a seperated them last saturday there on rounderbot now they had there 1st race yesterday

[bewted]

how did they come in racing,,,,anywhere near wining times or far enough behind ?

[Guest shay]

just under a min behind the winner

[bewted]

have you checked your ventilation,,,just trying to give you a bit of edge to do just that little better hopefully ?

[Guest shay]

well the huts aint the best we got them off the council wen they moved us and a so called pigeon man made them and honstley they are crap the only ventilton is at the top

[bewted]

i would say you have ventilation problems and need to be sorted asap,,,,,,,,,,or your birds in time will get maybe worse,,,not saying they will and hopefully not,,,,,,,where do you live ?

the birds probably have an underlying illness, and the stress of going onto roundabout and the 1st race has brought it out, I'd get the birds checked out.

PS were there wattles ok during the moult and breeding as thats a stress in itself ?

get a test kit and keep the birds stress free until you get the results.

well done ted

So would I. Easy fixed with Plastic Air vents right across the front. And Middle Just make a frame for them. Cover in small holed wire mesh and Robert's you're mothers brother.

Usually a vent problem, get some SAS from travipharma and use on birds and sort the vent out. You can also use nazaline or sliepsanol but found it bit more severe than SAS. A touch of vicks put up the nostrils with a cotton bud may do trick too.
