how can I dry up this mess

[LISTER]

have you moved them to a new shed ??

[bobtail]

burn your loft i think that would be best

[OLDYELLOW]

cocci is a bacteria that is natural and is present in the bowel low levels are passed through the birds but during infections these bacterias can multiplty due to abnormal behaviour in the gut , if you feeding a high percentage or 100% wheat / barley this can also cause wet droppings

[nittin vi]

could it be ergot

suppose i can give a rough idea to the cause and cocci is distinguished by wet droppings , however it could be a number of things like previous posting moving birds pairing up , screening your birds droppings would be the next step rather than running for a medicine bottle

[Guest kev d]

have you changed your feed , have they been picking about out side ,

i would not feed them for 24 hrs and then give them some bicarbinate of soda

one heaped tea spoon in there drinker , then a light feed of barley with some vits in the water

put some red stone grit down it firms the droppings up , but check your food and where you keep it .

check for vermin getting in , bleach your drinkers make sure every thing is clean . cheers kev

[bobtail]

i still think burning is your best option

I think 'burning' means flaming the floor, not burning the loft down.  

[OLDYELLOW]

burning wont cure the birds may prevent to a certain extent

[bobtail]

yes ib drying the floor with a gas torch for a start that is what i ment to say

[bobtail]

burning kills all the cocci eggs and that is a good start
