Disaster strikes

Had a great training toss Monday, all back and in the loft quick time ok.
All ok Monday night fed them a light evening meal, then went to give them breakfast Tuesday morning and one cock bird had sicked he's evening meal up.
Gave them breakfast Tuesday morning and when I popped home at lunch time to let the dog out I checked and it had sicked it's breakfast up to and it's got snotty droppings now.
Bloody pain in the arse.
Always get it straight after the first race.
Bloody gutting, after all the hard work you put in,
I'm keeping them all in, no racing now till it's been through them all.

yes it is boosey, disheartening when you've put a lot of work into them and just about ready for racing.....hope all goes well and they get back to full health quickly.

Just keep an eye on him might have just picked something up

Do we think this is Young Bird sickness?
Phil

sounds like the ybs (adeno/coli) sorry to hear steve not heard much about this year but early days yet

any news on the sick bird boosey...?

There was grub that he sicked up on his perch this morning, I have had Ropa b in the water since he showed symptoms and none of the others show any symptoms at all.
Checked them all over this morning none of them holding grub.

I find it weird that no others have contracted it yet.

I know a fancier who had a bird holding grub boosey, he syringed a dose of neat ropa down its beak and it was as right as rain after that.....

maybe its not what you think it is steve ....did you fast the bird for 36 hours you could pop a charcoal tablet down it or a good pinch of black mineral see if that helps its digestion

I didn't fast it Darren because I wanted all my birds to get it.
As last year I hooked them out 1 by1 as I saw any signs of it, and it dragged on and on.
This year I want them all to get it and get over it together if possible, but it looks like having Ropa b in the water is stopping the others getting it.
