pigeon neck problems

[DOVEScot]

I've had some really good looking birds that were never any good (as has probably 100% of us ) but in my loft if they dont race well then they dont stay I'm only trying to save the boy from a lot of heartache in my opinion as i dont think his birds will be any good now but if he wants more y/b's for next year just drop me a pm and i'll get him sorted out with a few y/b's to get him started racing

 

Surely we are talking cross purposes here, I know that You don't keep racers because they are good looking if you intend them for racing but if you intend showing them then looks go a long way as do many other factors with show racers

If you read all the posts you will see they are not racing pigeons he has :-/

If doos are ill then i would get rid of Dovescot and yes i have read all the posts but maybe he's flogging a dead horse trying to make them right again

Totally agree but only the unhealthy ones, not just cull them all because of one sick pigeon that has not been diagnosed yet.

 

Alf out of interest would you offer the same advice to Kenny at the one loft race or would you try your best to sort the problem :-/

If I had one of my birds that was ill I would try to save it don't care that it don't race as mine don't race anyway. I get my pleasure from watching the birds breed and fly. But I would not distroy all my birds if one was ill untill a vet tell me so.

Sorry my mistake Alf, I thought this was a dig at the fact we enjoy our fancy ones and and don't race our racers as yet, although we will be soon

 

I agree that a bird with a twisted neck woudn't be very good at racing

 

i no of 1 that did it belong to the preece brothers of cwmtillery.perhaps there might have been more if they would have been aloud to live.o and i forgot the 1 in my loft that won from 300 birds,it did not fly with a twisted neck but it did have it when it  had the dreaded para and with help got over it to win .

[Guest amar]

the rest of the birds are seem fine but the vets have askd for the sick bird

[Guest amar]

the vet told me to get the rest off them checked and the 1s if any mre have the viruss to kill them to stop it spreading ive got sum1 cuming arround tommarow to put them all in a long sleep

[ChrisMaidment08]

probly to spend loads money with him they like that

[ChrisMaidment08]

amar sleep is best sort loft out for two weeks then we will all help im sure

[Guest amar]

wot is the best way to sort the loft out its all nut abolt and gna take it all down tommarow ive trown away all the corn the perches nest bowls boxs feeder and drinkers

[just ask me]

no the vet did not check them just told me to add 5 ml to there drinking water 1s a week

i might be reading this wrong but it seems to me to told u to treat with baytrill once a week if he did he really does no noting about the drug or pigeons no antibiotic can be given like this it kills the immune system of the birds bayrill can be given at differnt doses but must be given from 7 to 14 days in most cases in a row and not given one day a week its crazy if he did

In light of the result you are making a hard but probably the best decision, like i said I may have some nice free birds here depending on what type you want to keep

Get a small gas blow torch and scorch the areas as best you can and spray with any number of good products, I used an avian loft treatment but good old jeyes fluid works a treat

[Guest amar]

thanks dovescot i keep rollers i really wanted to go in to racers but i havnt a clue where to start to i bought rollers heart broken most of them where on eggs which are about 2 weeks old

[ChrisMaidment08]

delsenex from dairy farmers i would after burning loft its hard but look on the bright side we are here

Get a water butt and fill if with a jeyes fluid mix as stated on the tin and soak all your nest bowls etc, I would not bin them

Start with the drinkers and feeders  :-/then the perches and nest bowls
