dean82 Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 i havnt intorduced any new pigeons but have split my hens and cocks and all stock and young pigeons are together. i did have 2 young pigeons die with the same symtoms earlier in the year but nothing since and no other problems so put it down to yound bird sickness. today all other pigeons look in great health and no loose droppings at all. the birds just went really light stopped eating and within a few days died.

Hi Dean, welcome to the site, and im sorry to hear of your problems, but with respect to strapper and owen, and all their knowledge, you description of the birds, is the classic symptoms, of alot of different ailments, so without someone coming to see your birds, or like you are doing getting them tested, then i really would not like to hazard a guess, Hope you get things sorted. Keep us updated :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Owen Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 dean82 is smack on. Goodness knows what you have got there. You need some serious help. Get your birds to an Avian Vet ASAP. I find the fact that birds are dieing very worrying. The chances are that the birds that appear OK are ailing as well. If you have underlying health problems, you are not very likely to breed anything any good and, I suspect that you can forget winning races. To consistantly win your birds have to be super healthy. Not healthy, super healthy. And while you are at it get someone with experience to have a look at your loft including the number of birds you have in there. You would be surprised how often you can trace problems back to the loft and overcrowding can be a major problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
