Over treating will ruin any birds health , natural immunity is far better than anything subscribed by a vet , your flock is only as strong as your weakest birds immunity , weak inferior birds are the gateway to illness in a loft in nature they'd be removed bring your loft in line with nature Birds in the wild don't queue up for there fix at the vets

I have many elderberry bushes in my garden and they come in there droves, never suffered any problems. I'd be more inclined if there coming down with stuff there catching them in the race basket. Your pigeons are only as clean as your dirtiest club member.

Isolate anything doubtful put in place good health care and management this includes diet and prevention , work with natural immunity and support it . Birds only show illness at the very end as if there unfit in the wild there someone else's dinner

found mice are getting in, so hoping all will be sorted now and thank you all for replies and help

[Guest geordiejen]

mice carry all sorts of nasties.some of your birds may have salmonella,e-coli etc.you should send off a droppings test.

yes think wood pigeons will have something to do with diseases getting passed to your birds.a mate of mine years back took a young wood pigeon in to his loft he did not have race birds but pouters and a few homers .with in a week or two he was near wiped out.can,t mind which disease but it was down to the wood pigeon as he done a bit research on them and diseases.
