In the spirit of helping to educate people about the virtues and history of the Campine breed, I have uploaded three historic, public domain articles on Campines. They are as follows: The Campine by Judge Card (1914)...

Thanks. There's nothing like typing errors to foul things up.

It's Ronidazole.

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...

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

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...

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.

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 ...

I'd just watch the little ones.

Too young to tell, I think.
