blaz what would you do if your kids had it

We have learned the hard way when we first started that Salmonella can be treated but there are two possibilities as there are in humans as well, it can be cured or it can stay as a carrier for life. Only tests can determine this, almost every creature has salmonella at some level, if you do not cook meats in particular poultry you can be become ill with salmonella so it has to present in the first place

We lost a whole loft of birds because we brought one in without quarantining it, it was from a well known fancier and looked really healthy and we found out too late that this was our problem, we had to blow torch the loft and we burned all the nest boxes and perches that ###### had made and made totally new ones

We have learned a lot about it through DEFRA and vets as we keep chickens as well, sadly as I say the hard way, we will never eradicate it, if your birds land anywhere outside your loft and a seagull, crow, sparrow, squirrel or countless other creatures has fouled there then you are open to contracting it

Yes your right their chickadee, the disease can devastate lofts.

let the weaklings die off the rest will develop natural imunity to the disease as should have been done when paramoxy first reared its ugly head after all who jags all the streeters look at them in spring as good looking as some of the racers we are to keen on doping for the sake of doping it is not always the answer

Not always the case, if it takes hold it will devastate your loft but I do agree in letting your birds develop natural immunity. I think the problem rears it's ugliest head when you bring new stock in or mix with other birds which in inevitable when you race them :-/
