Guest darren cantrill Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I split the pigeons last week so old hens are in with young hens old cocks are in with young cocks the older birds in their section the young birds moved into the respective old bird sections I noticed after the second young bird race the young birds went off the boil thought to much training eased off sent the next week took the first 2 but team was fragmented 1 bird missed the landing board and was waddling on the garden spoke to an old friend and as a precaution reboosted the young bird team with pmv vaccine left them at home for 14days but still had a nagging feeling something was wrong some idiot told me I was looking for something that wasn't there I thought ok im being over anxious and still picked up a first and 3rd in one race and a 2nd in another but the rythym had gone out of the birds appetite dropped the odd horrendous mess in a nest box and then big clear wet droppings in the old bird race pen with a squiggly little green worm like faecaes in the middle then this week bang! big white droppings sludge everywhere birds walking into walls falling off perches head spinning etc etc etc but no problems with vaccinated young birds look a picture apart from wading through the yearlings sludge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDCHEQHEN Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 I have always had some old hens in with my young birds - spare yearling hens and older - the old birds are vaccinated in December/January and the youngsters in May - so far I have never had any problems Have you involved DEFRA to confirm that this is what you have (PMV) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delboy Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Persevere with your obs m8,if its pmv the torticollis in the neck is unsightly but believe me, if they can get to the water and feed themselves then all will be ok.Also, don't be surprised they come out next year and do even better than this year.

walterboswell59 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 once for old birds twice for young once when leaving the nest and again in 6 weeks timewrong way to do it m8 trust me if you want to jag them again after six weeks fine but you have to do all again as you are bringing the virus back into your loft again when you re vacinate and it will attack all old birds stock birds the lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 I agree with ye Walter but ill give you something to think about,I heard this info recently. The Belgians only jag their birds twice in their life, as ybs and as yearlings. Its finished after that and if you think about it, it maybe makes sense. Mind ye, some people are given the flu vaccination every year, is that necessary ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just ask me Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 wrong way to do it m8 trust me if you want to jag them again after six weeks fine but you have to do all again as you are bringing the virus back into your loft again when you re vacinate and it will attack all old birds stock birds the lot does it do the same thing after the first vac my old birds are done after the last race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDCHEQHEN Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 How can a DEAD vaccine (only dead PMV vaccines are approved in this country for pigeons) give birds a live virus ( answer - it cannot) something else is happening (but it is not the vaccine causing it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian McKay Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Not being disrespectful to any one but: How will this ever be resolved: Vets cannot agree with manufactures instructions ? Pigeon fanciers cannot agree it appears to be different in all countries How can any vet disagree with Manufacturers instructions not much faith in a system which is in disarray And we wonder why pigeon fanciers have problems they are taking the micky and will soon be wanting us to vaccinate twice a year as some have already said Had the dog to the vet this week and they inform me he has to have 2 booster vaccinations 1 month apart when I said it's another money making scheme she said but it's only another £6 she forgot to say on top of the increase don't think I will be going again :emoticon-0179-headbang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnQuinn Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Well i came home with 2 youngsters from the sale on Sunday and had 2 just ready to wean in my stock loft. Vaccinated the 4 Yb's today and all my stock birds, the 4 Yb's i shifted in beside my Yb racing team.I will be 100% honest with you all when i feed back how they got on. Reading some posts would suggest my race team should be done again to protect them from the 4 new introductions, i disagree with this but as i say i will let you's know in a couple of weeks if there is any problems in the Yb loft. Can't remember Ever having a problem putting late breds in with my older Yb's who have been vaccinated when leaving the nest in April/May and i do it every year.

Guest IB Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 I watched the video until the 55 min mark, took a break as I had bother hearing it. Did I mishear or did the guys on either side of Henk tell him that using La Sota wasn't authorised over here? Or was it a live vaccine they were talking about? The FCI slides shown on the video said always vaccinate with an inactivated vaccine, and I thought Henk said vaccinate with La Sota ... and that's the strain that is used in both the Colombovac and Nobilis inactivated vaccines authorised here.
