Ybs In Nest

[Guest redlad24]

i just went into the stock loft to day and noticed two ybs ready for weaning were making rattling noises as if they have a phlemy chest, they look great other than than that and droppings are perfect, is this only a minor cold like or would you think something else?????

personally i would say there destined to be cold, the idea with pigeons is to build up a natural immunity, and at 24-25 days old to have respiratory problems sounds to me its starting how it could go on.

Sounds like a respiratory problem if you hold them in your hand and squeeze them on the back.If they make the same noises then its normally a respiratory problem.They can be treated with Antibiotics if you think there worth it?

they are of good stock alrite, wouldnt think they are full of water no, would putting them out in an aviary all day do any good or harm?

'Rattle' might be something that went down the wrong way at feeding. You say they seem fine otherwise, I'd be expecting more than just one symptom. Just keep an eye on them for now.

I think putting them in the bin would be better.
