if you don't know what condition they are in then you could ask the person you got them from if they have been treated for anything or to be sure if they do need anything then get some droppings etc tested.

Hi i received an email of the breeder :Hi vaccinated for Paratyphoid November,Coxci,Canker Ivormectin for all worms and parasitesin December.

no need to treat for anything then.

It is worth having a routine for testing so when you've got your youngsters weaned and all together send droppings and swabs of for testing and then if required any correct treatment can be given.

Never treat blind especialy as a newbie because you won't have the experience to spot a problem.

ok thanks pjc when testing do you send a couple of samples or the whole loft all the best

I have a pair of modenas also. They are easy to keep just big pigeons though.

 

Can be aggressive when competing with other pigeons for nest boxes

yes, take a selection from around the loft.

If you get a test kit they will send you swabs etc as well but basic droppings testing will indicate the overall condition of the birds.
