[geordie1234]

it was the end of the line first time ive had to get rid and ive only had my birds from last tuesday but onwards and upwards!!

 

How long will it take for my ybs to start really flying some of them are going up and doing wee circles the now

[geordie1234]

Can anyone tell me if there's a pigeons supplies shop in larkhall

[Guest pigeon82]

give them another 5 or 6 days and you shud see them flying longer i see on one of your other posts you seperated the ill bird i had same where 1 cme back injured i seperated it but still wudnt eat so i put it back in shed with others its in gud health now just waiting for all scars to repair but eating and drinking the best now

[geordie1234]

Mines would never have been any good it was just falling off my hand and hitting the floor

[Guest pigeon82]

i picked a bird up i sent him 193 miles to race never raced before it was in a non fanciers garden she put a basket over it and i went and picked it up couldnt fly for 5 days i was lifting it up and down 4 or 5 times a day to nest box so it could get water and feed and hes now flying round no problem that was different bird to one before but little tlc does wonders trust me last resort to cull pigeon i wud never do it other wise i hate doing it full stop but some birds do come well but thats jmo pal but i loads of time to do this im in and out every hour with my birds

[geordie1234]

Cheers guys will try them.

 

Let my ybs out the night and they are gradually flying more and more but because I'm letting them out longer they are sitting about the gutters picking at things.

I think it mite be coz they are getting a light feed in the morning then the rest at night but a really don't like them sitting eating crap any suggestions

dont feed in the morning when they land on the roof call them in and feed them as much as they want they lift the feed away when the first bird goes to the drinker and not coming in on time no feeding be the boss

[geordie1234]

What's happens if they fly out and straight to the roof just call them straight back in

i would not allow mine on the roof at all so i would call them straight back in the only place you want them is on your loft roof

[geordie1234]

Cheers mate try that tomorrow

[Guest pigeon82]

i allow mine on the roof but if i see them near or picking at the gutters i throw a ball at them so they either take off or ill call them in but im training now so they dont sit around to long as soon as theyre back i get them straight in i have 25 young birds they get 14 ounces of depuritive in morning now and evening they get 16 ounces of basic all round feed

well dont be chucking anything at them yet theyre still getting used to the area but try not to let them eat out of the gutters it cud end up more trouble than its worth call them down soon as they get near it

Had my young birds out just there and it only took fifteen minutes for them to fly to the roof and start picking at the gutters so i just shouted them down for there feed not sure if i should have just left them up there because they really havent started flying at all yet and out of the nine that i have 3 dont even come out the loft but the other 6 are straight out could this be anything to do with they came from a different loft and a bit later on than the others

[geordie1234]

Just noticed really watery droppings aswell do you think my birds are unwell or I'm I been paranoid

[geordie1234]

can anyone post a pic for me

[geordie1234]

let the ybs out today all they done was sit about the roof picking and they werent coming down when i was calling them took an hour and half to get them down and ones missing aswell
