    Possibly Rare disease and treating with Ridzol medication.

    It's Ronidazole.

    Possibly Rare disease and treating with Ridzol medication.

    I agree. In pigeons, we also see canker as a sign of some greater compromised immunity issue. Usually that is related to coccid outbreaks and/or respiratory issues, by the way. You can kind of see a pattern here. It may be that the vet's intention is to throw the Ridzol at the protozoa in the...

    Pullet disappeared

    That would indeed be a bit too young to start setting.

    Possibly Rare disease and treating with Ridzol medication.

    Well, canker (Trichomoniasis) in pigeons is caused by an increase in naturally occurring protozoan in the bird's system. Ridzol (usually Ridzol 10 or Ridzol 20 is what is obtained for pigeons) is really Ronidazole, which was originally developed for swine. It is specifically an antiprotozoal...

    Pullet disappeared

    You might find that Penny vanishes for a few weeks and reappears with a bunch of kids. It's getting to be that time of year. This commonly occurs in flocks that are allowed considerable liberty to range.

    OMG duck piped day 24? I need help plz!!

    Temp undoubtedly a tad high, hence an early hatch. On these premature hatches, I've seen them spread out over 72 plus hours from first to last hatch. I'd leave them be, distract yourself with something else and only check periodically.

    OMG duck piped day 24? I need help plz!!

    If one is pipping this early, you are bound to have more in the next 24 hours. I'd lock them down and not be too concerned about the humidity beyond making sure they are nice and dry after hatching. You'd only be locking down a day early anyway. Most of all: just take a deep breath ...

    Any Citron Hamburg breeders out there?

    Good Hamburgs are very hard to find and Citrons seem to be the hardest to find. If you are talking Bantams, it gets even harder! And indeed, One Earth Farms have stopped breeding them. I would suggest joining the newly organized Hamburg Club of North America. They are new, after the North...

    Opinions on Spangled Hamburgs

    I've bred Hamburgs and am still a fan. (Really good Hamburgs are hard to find, though. Still looking!). They are classified as a Light Breed, but are not Bantam sized. (Bantam Hamburgs do exist and even harder to find). Hamburgs are beautiful, good layers of medium sized white eggs (once they...
