One egg only, PLEASE HELPhello
All my pigeons (skycutter) are laying one egg only, this would be their second clutch. The eggs dont hatch they have the chick and the yolk present in them when i throw them out (parents stop incubating). Based on the forums similar questions i tried treating them for salmonella i gave them amoxicillin from verselle laga. They seem healthy and eat well. Please any help would mean alot. I have local veterinary pharmacy but no avian doctors available. |

How many pairs are you talking about? How long do they sit on the eggs? How old are the parents? They may be too young to breed. Where are you located?

About 8 pairs all of them gave me a single egg, one did lay 2 both fertile but failed to hatch. They sit ahout 20 to 28 days max. All off them are 2017 birds. I have given them amoxicillin for 5 days and them probiotics. I live in Dubai where the weather is cloudy and little windy. |

Treat them for salmonella. Shop pigeon supply for the meds. Follow directions carefully. You want to make sure their loft is dry and clean, and they get clean water in a clean drinker everyday, bleach and rinse the drinkers and feeders routinely.

Use a vet special solution to clean the loft every 48 hours or so Drinkers and feed tray after every meal. I believe its ecoli could it be Thanks for helping me dear |

Quote “ Salmonellae are spread by: inhalation of dust containing the pathogen contaminated feed (insects, mice, rats) dirty feed troughs and water bowls mating transmission from the hen to the egg feeding the nestlings with infected crop milk and billing chronic carriers: pigeons that appear healthy after surviving salmonella infection, but shed the pathogen at irregular intervals and thus pose a risk to the current flock and their progeny.” I would use fake eggs for now . Do not let them start raising young before a year of age. |

Do they have ecoli symptoms? ( Poor droppings etc) I would treat for the symptoms they are showing. Guessing is hit or miss unless you have a vet to work with that can test the droppings. It is difficult, as said here.... “ Next to the difficulties in diagnosing the disease, the main problem is treatment. Actually there is no really good treatment for the illness. Antibiotics and vaccination are both not 100% effective. Most antibiotics can’t clear the carriers of the disease. There is even a lot of scientific data that most antibiotics induce more carriers than without treatment. Only enrofloxacine seems to have best effects also on carriers, but in practice there are still a lot of carriers of the disease after long treatment and high dosage. New scientific data show that with a very high dosage of enrofloxacine there couldn’t be any Salmonella found any more in internal organs after autopsy. Still in practice it is better to do a good vaccination schedule after antibiotic treatment. It’s important to let the pairs mature before letting them raise young, and use only healthy pairs, and look at reasons why to let them.” Last edited by Ladygrey; 30th January 2019 at 06:39 AM.. |

Supportive care is important, seeds, legumes, grains, that are clean. Rest.. Use fake eggs until they are a year old or so. If the lab can test for diseases then try to let them hatch their real eggs after that, if they are clear. If they are carriers then you may not want to breed them. Getting healthy stock from the beginning if you can. Knowing the health of birds purchased is not always easy. But I definatly would not breed birds that carry salmonella. But that is what I do not necessarily what others do. Last edited by Ladygrey; 30th January 2019 at 07:10 AM.. |
