The problem us without testing then it's a minefield. Salmonella or typhoid are a curse and treatment is often just folly as ultimately the bird(racers) are finished. We had salmonella in the 90s.....we kept the ones that looked the best but they died when they went to nest. ....sh**

that's correct dal2 although they look perfect they can be the carriers, then if kept it just snowballs again ,that's why when the maff comes to the loft they all go

Well it seems my dreaded fears have came true ..Since my ghent kroppers started molting, after a couple of weeks i noticed 1 or 2 not looking right , Now i have 7 unwell ..holding grain and smelly crops ..lime and yellow dropping , birds look like death warmed up just now ...started treatment yesterday but fear its to late for some ..totally gutted is an understatement , And please no comments about binning the sick birds ...im trying keep hold of them they are hard enough to come by as it is ..if i can bring them back around and get them vaccinated great if not well i suppose its the nature of the beast .

 

Peter4pm.......Why are you selling racing pigeons on another site,hope you are telling potential bidders of your problems or indeed should you be allowing any birds to leave your lofts at this time.? ....JBC/..

It is not on the MAFF lit of notifiable diseases. There have been plenty cases here where is has been reported to the MAFF and they have supplied treatment and s disentfectant to the lofts free of charge.
