Yes I've had that one, long term solution is to clean & mesh-off the gutters. Whatever gunge they have eaten there they will throw up, and anything else in the crop will come up with it. It isn't YBS. Just treat it same way, withdraw food for 24 hours till stuff works through gut, cider vinegar in water, then light seed till you see droppings start forming up again, then gradually adding heavier grain. Should be right as rain within 72 hours.
