new birds not eating

morning lads just a quick one for yea I got two new birds yesterday brought over from England I am happy with the bids except for one thing they don't seem to be touching there food I've put down for them I have them segregated from the rest until the canker tablet runs through them which is normal but I was thinking they would of been really hungry but no they have had some water alright so I am guessing they will be ok anyone now what's going on with them do I need to be worried

Maybe Maybe not ????????? change of lifestyle etc, so they could take a few days to settle down. Keep an eye on them thou & just have patience. If the **** hits the fan seek further advice.

hi joe....just feed them lite for the first day as its quite a journey from louella to eire
i am sure they will eat today but i would strongly suggest to cocci and one spot the birds and keep them isolated for minimum of 2 weeks ...good luck with yer new birds

if the courier has had them a couple of days i sure they would have been fed by him so may not be as hungry as you would expect leave it in front of them im sure it will go

thanks lads yea I have it in front of them since yesterday sure we will see how it goes today I know any other birds I've had would of eat by now the courier had them nearly 36 hours or so in a little box don't think they were fed doesn't seem like he had the facilities to feed them in the van I picked up from yesterday cheers for the feed back

remove the food till tonight joe then watch them they soon tuck in

how old are the birds Joe are they young ins or old ins give more info sean

hi sean the cock is 07 and the hen 12 so one old one young if that helps cheers

yes it does i would take the feed away and put some cider vinagar in the water for 24 hrs then give them a table spoon of caster sugar to a litre of water for 24 hrs this will act as an electrolight if they not eating after that some thing far wrong keep them in quarentine for a couple of weeks and keep a close eye on them watch their dropings and feed them light and tight do not leave feed in front of them sean

THANKS FOR THAT SEAN SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD BIT OF ADVICE ILL GIVE IT A GO TOMORROW IF THERE NOT LOOKING AY BETTER
