I have some pigeons in a big cage outside that I have had for many years
Had many hatched that grow up fine
Problem Im asking about is , After some hatch and get feathers and able to eat themself and seem healthy , and out eating off the ground , but cant fly up to a perch yet. They then seem to get sick , and cant walk and stand on their legs. The legs get weak and they eventualy die. They still eat and drink water. but cant walk, so they crawl around with their wing untill they get too weak and die.
Of 5 recent birds that hatched 2 are healthy and Ok and 3 others are sick, one died, other 2 im sure will die in a few days.
A bunch more eggs have been layed .
Anyone have a idea why the young pigeons get weak, cant walk then die?
