Hi Erik,

That is a shame that you lost 3 babies It's so hard to say for sure what happened. Please look on the bright side of things and you still have 6 babies left. Try to keep a close eye on them and their progress. Best wishes to you that these 6 remaining will grow up big and strong.

Erik,

Did you do preventative treatment before breeding your pigeons, did you vacinate your breeders, what did you do with your breeders before you started breeding????

The most common cause of early death in young pigeons is paratyphoid, there is treatment and there is vacinations that you can use before breeding season to prevent, if this is what caused your problem.

Have you located a local mentor to assist you with your pigeons yet???
