Trained the birds 50 miles on Tuesday. Released the birds 15 at a time. Birds came home in less than an hour.
I noticed this morning That the loft smelled differently. Adeno virus. This odor is caused by Adeno. Usually the birds will vomit and their droppings will be watery and green. The birds droppings are fine now and none are vomiting yet. I recognize this odor from last year. I had to sit out 2 races while they recovered.
I will have to wait until later in the week to see if the birds come down with it. This virus is also called young bird sickness. The birds are not flying very long. 20 minutes and they are ready to come in. This is a sign that they are not feeling well.
199 was missing from the race Sunday along with 1833. 199 came home Tuesday afternoon. She looks fine and is flying today with the others.
