droppings????????????????

in the last week two of my 4 birds i have there dropping are very green and watery other than that they seem fine eating well and in general ok so whats with the lose dropping ??????

it could be any number of things lofty have you changed the cord or added anything to the water are these young or old birds also have you added any birds in the last 2 weeks
maybe others on here will be able to shed more lite and help you i think ian is the local doc on here ask him he dont bite

iv only 4 birds ther a few months old got them all at the same time i did add a apple cyder garlic vinger all in one bottle i got in pet shop couple of weeks ago .but one particlar birds dropping have always been waterty

i would not feed them for 24 hrs also put one heaped tea spoon of bicarbinate of soda in there drnker
then the next time you feed them only give them 1/2 measure of feed then build them up slowly
try feeding them a few beans and peas to firm there droppings up also red stone grit does the same job
but if all else fails get there droppings tested . good luck

If your flock is healthy, you are using cider vinegar and the birds have green droppings I would take them out of the loft and treat them for basics..coxi canker, and worms. If it doesnt improve put them in the bin, sick birds should be removed from the loft they will never do any good. Thats what I do, and my loft is healthy, best investment I have ever made is a blow torch , I clean the loft and burn everything, best thing ever invented for pigeons, before you buy remidies get a blow torch.

must say its the number 2 tool in my loft after the scraper get a good one not them cheap things a full bottle and a good old nozzle are best plenty on ebay

blow torch i just seen a few clips on utube using the blow torch .thanks lads for info.

yes good advise, how often do you blow torch martyn...?

Spot on again Martyn

good advice martyn i got a blow torch 3 weeks ago and use it once a week but scrape out daily how often do you torch g and martyn

every 3 days keeps any mites out with a quick waft in the cracks to

please be carfull wen useing blow lamps

When ever it rains or a damp day I get the blow torch out and just watch the moisture burn from the floor and perches, I clean out ever 3 or 4 days and if the weather is dry and the floor looks dry I leave it but as soon as its damp out it comes and I burn everything feeders and grit bowls included, the grit bowls are dog bowls and will take a roasting but you have to just go over feeders a bit more carefully. But everthing gets it perches and ceiling, I have metal grids above the birds heads so I burn alll the feathers off and dust every time I do the floor that way no dust I just vaporise it..

This sounds like great advice.
The first I ever heard of it.
Thanks

well ive not known nuch survive the blow lamp yet worm and coci will thrive in damp places torching regular will limit this

Nothing survives a naked flame its HOT And thats the point of it...also when the floor is warm its not damp, I dont keep it in the same place for long as it will burn and turn black but keep itmoving around, But I do have a couple of burns but rather this than bugs..lol

how often do you do this then martyn ?
