Thanks I will give that a try.  I have tried the copper sulphate bath which was also recommended but the feather rot appears to be showing signs in other pigeons now too.  Eager to get this under control.

Get some Carbolic Soap on them, Abit of a mess but it works

It certainly looks like it checked it against one of the pigeon medical books.

I will get carbolic soap and give that a try - desperate to get to the bottom of it.

Thanks.

check all drinkers and feeders for sharp edges and remember no cure will work over night and you wn't see any difference until the birds moult out the damaged feathers.
