I would not suggest ever putting eggs in refrigerator if you are planning to incubate.  It is best to store eggs in an carton if possible..big side of the egg up.  I wouldn't store the eggs no longer than 10 days.   7 days is better for a better hatch rate.  Eggs should be held in a cool location between 50-55F until you are ready to incubate.  Do not refrigerate!!  I wrote this info off of my incubator instruction booklet.  I hope this helps and GOOD LUCK!!  DJ

Wet Poof

Wet Poof

During Breeding Season, all of the young's droppings are very wet. I mean soupy, sloppy wet. This has happened for the last four years?

During Breeding Season, all of the young's droppings are very wet. I mean soupy, sloppy wet. This has happened for the last four years since I came back to this sport. I never had this problem 30 years ago. I thought there was a ventalation problem, so I added a ventalation system. The system now is addaquate enough that I can not smell the droppings until I start cleaning the nest box. I clean about 4 times a week. One strange thing though, my father and I have the same problem and we purchased are birds from different sources. The onely common thing we have between us is that we vaccinate together. We do clean the needle between birds. Now we vaccinate for PMV and Partyphoid. We do not vaccinate for Paratyphoid twice, I thought that this may be the trouble. I thought that maybe that we are giving them the Paratyphoid by only vaccinating once. My father sent a bird to a University for an autopsy, but he euthanized the bird by gas and it destroyed the findings. We definately know that the young are not reaching their potential. We are Lost, Lost, Lost. Please help! Thanks.

Question by: Jack Hoyle

Answer by: Dr Wim Boddaert

    Dear Sir,

    The symptoms that you are giving are typically for a bacterial infection in the nest. It could be an  E-coli infection or a streptococcus bovis  infection. I think if you give them during the period that they are having youngsters in the nest a treatment of 8 days with f.e. products based on amoxicilline ( f.e. Amoxicure of Oropharma ) the problem will be solved. The best way is to start with the treatment when the youngsters are just out of the egg end then during 8 days giving this product. Directly there after you give them for a few days some muti-vitamin supplement . Afterwards it would be better the give some acids in the drinking water to make that the parents are not drinking to much and that they are not giving to much water to their youngsters in the nest.

    Of course it would be better if we had the possibility to examinate some of the sick youngsters and to make a diagnosis to be 100 % sure of the problems and to make if necessary a antibiogram to be sure which antibiotic is working.

    Best Regards

Pigeon Cold Treatment

Pigeon Cold Treatment

As edwards has told you Doxicycline will be the right treatment for your birds. But there is a reason why they got ill in the first place. It could be poor ventilation, contact with other birds that are ill and often it can be caused by mixing with birds from other lofts and even mixing later batches with the the older birds. Strays can cause you this type of problem and sometimes visitors will bring it to you from their lofts. If you decide to treat with antibiotics, take the grit away while you are doing it. Once the treatment is over it is important to replace the grit and give the birds a good multivit. Probiotics can also be a good help to get them back to full fitness. give them probiotic. Or give homemade probiotic by giving them yogurt or curd.
