Wiley Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 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.

Guest IB Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 '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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
