Do you mean 'protein lumps'?

 

They will dry up and fall off without doing anything to them - and as it is out of season - let them do that naturally

also lighten there feed with some barley

ok thanks for that, been about 10 years since i last saw one, i think my feeding was a bit rich

I would tie a piece of thread tightly around them, and this will dislodge them quicker, however, some like to leave them to fall off naturallyhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif

Mate in my area about 5 year ago there were plenty lofts had the same problem with these blood lumps,now all these lofts were feeding different so it was nowt to do with rich feeding.If its the same thing as wee had then i can assure you it does them no harm as my good hen treble 4 had them on her as a yb and came out and scored the next year and then went on to win 1st west section SNFC Alencon 540 mls.Its thought to be some kind of virus that causes it being similar to pox virus so iam told. :
