Is it possible to add rings my self? Well I've tried' I entered the birds ring number and colour sex but can't scan the ring over my pad. How do I do it

I lost another today. God know what was wrong with it but it's mouth was full of scab looking mess, watering away gargling on what ever liquid was in its mouth. so I got rid right away. Apert from that one they look in good condition. I had a feel of a friends birds and the lumps I was feeling ( shoulder blades) on the wing joints, his birds have the same??? Do all pigeons have these lumps? I've lost about 20 young birds this year due to ybs all that I was given. I've had my 20 leave the nest and they are actually looking very good apart from the bone lump I can feel on the back, wing joint!

I've just had 20 young birds just left the nest and they also have the swollen wing joint. How do I get rid of 100 birds that look fine and health but will never preform like they should. It will be like mass merder

Would you get rid of every thing and start again? Who says the next batch of birds won't pic it up from my lofts- pen, pigeons pec at all sorts of things. I can't see how it's possible to eradicate it unless I set all the lofts on fire and built new. I feel like throwing in the towel. Devastated all the work and money and I was really enjoying it, I just feel like it's been a complete waist of time now. It's putting me of starting again as I may get it from some other loft or even mine

You know if you have it mate. It's a mess of an illness. They stop eating weight falls off, swollen joints they fall over and sit all puffed up in a corner of the loft. All the birds in the loft end up with swollen wing goings. And they look really healthy and they even fly but when you get hold of one you can feel it's not right. They won't win races they are fooked

A vet has give me Cyperfloxin 200. In into my seconed week 1ml. Per ltr have you guys ever used it

Thanks for the advice all How Do I know who is the carrier tho? They all have the swollen joint on the wing

I've spent so much money on these prisoners and all year dedicated my life to these birds, breeding and training the young. I've built up just short of 100 birds now. What am I ment to do, kill them all? I could not bring my self to do it! If I did get rid how do I know it won't happen again? I've spent 3-4 thousand pounds on my new lofts as well as birds, and all that time Will this disease be imbedded in my loft?

So what do I do? Get rid of all the birds and prisoners and start again? I'm devastated

My birds are just getting over an illness and they still have swelling to there joints on each wing. I have read that it's a build up of salmonella bacteria in there joints. They are looking much better in there selfs but wondering if this swelling will ever go away. Is this perminant damage?

The cat still make a mistake in my eyes. It killed my baby and my 177 wants revenge. All I've been reading is to make it well vented so that's what I did. I never expected a preditor like a cat would get through an inch gap in the floor? Would most? Any how one lesson learned my my mistake also

Sorry peter

It was a black fat cat! Was under the loft other day. Holes are blocked of now. I want to tell that cat what I think about its silly mistakes !!! Well my friend dose

Blood sprayed like it popped, very strange
