Treatment - Test first

[Wiley]

Does anyone treat there pigeons for anything while they are sitting eggs if so what and when?

[Guest anthony]

I find it is the best time to treat against canker,if they have it

[Guest TAMMY_1]

NO , USUALLY HAVE THEM TREATED BEFORE THEY GO DOWN

[Jeremy]

use a microscope if there is nothing wrong why treat?

Make time to use it properly get some good books etc.  Testing for canker cocci worms is quite easy when you know how. Most fanciers buy 1 use it about twice and cant get on with it but it just takes time and practise. Use it every week and you will soon learn.

Once the eggs are laid I give them 2days on multivits then treat them for canker with turbosole and then a few more days on multivits.

ive often tried to fit a treatment in at this time but as other things are being fed and administered by the water ive got everything out if the way before pairing this year, i will however have a full MOT carried out on the birds following the breeding period to make sure i treat for anything accordingly and not just in case prior to the training and racing.
