sorry coli plus

Mate sorry to hear that. Aint it better to sort the problem first. Your next lot could have the same problem. Water only for a day or two would have been my first step. May be cider vinegar or lemon juice.

[Guest strapper]

dont add any youngbirds to the loft that these ill birds were in.

treat 1st then after treatment finnishes add any new birds in a few days time.

but keep a watch for any re-occurence.

[PATTY BHOY]

rest of ybs being treated for the next couple of days,fingers crossed all is ok..

[peterpau]

I don't like to dispose of them so soon far better to sort the problem first. You're treating them but for what ?

[PATTY BHOY]

TREATING WITH SODA CRYSTALS.
