peter pandy Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Sounds like your feeders are drinking too much water ! If so remove all grit and minerals especially if they contain salt and rear your youngsters with beans and or peas only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingziemckay Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 does the dropping have any smell to them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiley Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Drinking too much water could be associated with many things, first of all have your birds been vaccinated for PMV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Drinking too much water could be associated with many things, first of all have your birds been vaccinated for PMV? I agree, over drinking and then scooting out the other end, coxy or paramyxovirus . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just ask me Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Thomas without seeing them no one can really say if its pmv more than likely not u really need to get someone to have a look at them its nearly impossible to say what these birds may have from a few posts on a forum when where your old birds vaccinated are there signs of canker id nearly bet there is it may be a case that your old birds may be next to get sick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
