PIGEONPACKMAN Posted January 4, 2013 Report Posted January 4, 2013 pigeons sound a bit weezy around the nostills is this anything to worry about .I have looked down there throat couldn't see anything out of the ordinary .Birds havent been flying too well .But i put this down to been locked up all weak and let out on the weakends without a good regular pattern .Ichave had one pigeon with greasy wattles and noticed every now and again snot near the nostills .
andy Burgess Posted January 4, 2013 Report Posted January 4, 2013 Respiratory infection it all adds up matei would agree .first need to find out why or how it,s happened ?? is there dampness getting into the loft maybe ??
PIGEONPACKMAN Posted January 4, 2013 Author Report Posted January 4, 2013 i would agree .first need to find out why or how it,s happened ?? is there dampness getting into the loft maybe ??possibly a little from when it rains the right direction but not all the time im buying a bigger shed to keep them in in the next few months as i dont want to be overcrowded when i breed my self some younguns so would you recommend me treating them or letting them pull through and give them something better to live in i have only 7 birds in a 4 x 6 loft would you say i am a bit overcrowded or ok

Wiley Posted January 4, 2013 Report Posted January 4, 2013 It could possibly be due to a draft. I am of the opinion with Owen, that the red Rose starter lofts, are excellent in all aspects and keeps birds in excellent health.
