Got at least one sickness going through my loft. (1) at least two YBs with green poop for over a week, likely YB sickness, maybe e.coli traveling through their system in places it should not be and/or in excessive volumes (2) one mature cock bird with what appears to be a respiratory infection (he's coughing) and (3) in the past 1-2 months a high infant mortality rate (squabs do not live past 5 days) and high rate of eggs not hatching. All point to something going through my loft, and likely being passed on to offspring. Currently treating with meds, but a few days into the meds I want to disinfect the loft.
What is everybody using to disinfect their loft? So far I think I will use a bleach solution diluted with water.
BTW, all this happened in what I consider to be a pretty clean loft. I scrape poop daily, it never accumulates, and my loft is not overcrowded. It has been very warm and humid here lately though.
Thanks in advance!
