hi scotty i dont think youve anything to worry about

there was a thread on exactly the same thing a few weeks ago

the outcome was that the birds had stiffend up with being boxed for so long

and were ok after a few days

paratyhoid was widespread last season,although some didnt have it a good many did.

if i was you i wouldnt listen to advice from anyone on what it could be even me.... and get your birds tested asap...this could ruin your breeding season.

im sure most would agree its best to find out ...then wait and leave it multyply in your loft.

im sure the local vet could help you out..or there is a advertisment in the bhw most weeks where you can send off a sample to be tested.

 

im sure someone on here can help you with the address.

not a friend anyway

no wonder they were stiff never heard of that before , lock them in till 5 days after they lay? if your guaranteeing the parentage  the cock fertilizes the egg the day before laying mate

i dont see why you would suggest this, if this is paratyphoid if left to your advice he could have much bigger problems...vets charge roughly £15 to test ...i dont see how this money would be waisted.

if the birds have been kept in for a week its very unlikely that wing stiffness wouldnt affect them to this extent.

this is only my opinion........paul.

strapper read the origonal post mate he kept them in for a couple of weeks till 5 days after laying this could mean between 14-19 days locked up

paul he said in his first post they had been paired up for weeks

and locked in the boxes for the duration
