red eyes?

[jordanp31]

Hi

 

Went down to the loft today and saw one of my tumblers in a real sorry state all puffed up in the corner. It hadnt eat for a while and was a bit skinny. I isolated it and made sure it had a good drink and some food. when i looked a bit closer i noticed that its eyelids where really red and it didnt want to open them... :-/

 

Has anyone ever come across the same sort of thing???

Went down to the loft this morning and found it dead on the floor... :-/ I wonder what was wrong with it??? I have had a young bird show similar symptoms and also died last year.

yes let them do a inspection' on the dead bird they will soon find problem,if u had one last year could become a regular occurance

the best looking Grizzles I ever bred, or saw, were nest mates. They hen Black I believe and the Cock bird red.... alwas died within a couple of weeks of flying out. This was solved when I erradicated the family line. I was so upset too, as the nieghbours, and family really took to them. Me too, but the young never grew up, went poorly, and within 2/3 days had died.

Samanella was touted etc. and much more, but since that line went the problem ceased.

had a familly of NORBERT NORMAN pigeons a number of years ago and thwey displayed red about the eye lids only thing was it was not an illness cause they could race from the first to last race i think it was just a trait that was in the familly . ;D ;D ;D ;D

yes believe the old janseen family used to have a trait of red ceres but the brothers bred the trait out of the birds

The 'Reddening of the cere - 'Eye Lining / Make up/ is caused by a the blood flowing / circulating and is a sign of health and good form.... if when birds displaying such are behind, two things.... you aren't doing them justice, or they just ent god enough!
