Advice please

I paired up last weekend and for some reason (lol) started to treat for Cocci yesterday. My pigeons have not laid yet but should destroy the first round of eggs?

[Chriss]

what have ya treated with?

[Okitsme]

Coxoid, in the water.

strange one, usually tend to treat way before pairing or while there on eggs, personallyn in my opinion would seperate them, and repair after the treatment has run its course

Was they showing any sign of Coxi if so defo separate and treat them before repairing

 

if not and it was a routine treatment not ideal but not sure if it will do much harm does it say anything on the bottle. if not call harkers and ask there advice

 

Maybe take saftey first and chuck eggs and let them lay again as still plenty early enough.

Thanks guys. Its only a routine treatment. I decided to do it as I did not realise I had to do it before pairing up. I will chuck first round and wait for next round again. With my luck all the good birds would have been in the first round. lol

from pairing to laying the only treatment i would give is a canker one once the eggs are layed but before they hatch.

 

other then that plenty of fresh grit each day and a couple days with a calcium treatment each week from paring to weaning helps also Gemthepak or the like on the food 4 or 5 days a  week once young hatch or a cheapear way is SMA gold (Baby milk) mixed on the food with a little oil Plume oil from MEDIPET or some other sort of pigeon oil is good. plenty of high protein food ( as a novice buy a breeding mix and if you can afford it buy some G10 pellets) feed as often as poss 3 or 4 times a day once babies hatch. if not hopper feed and put in a couple of handfull's of seed when you can (not to much small seed)

 

hope this helps a little

It is always a good idea to get a Test from the Vet, before you start treating your pigeons.

If you don't you are teating for some thing that's not there. The cost £17.34.

Ring harkers mate, they are very helpful and I realy wouldn't see a problem. Don't bin them eggs for the price of a phone call.

[just ask me]

been doing a bit of reading on this for u cant see any reason to chuck them but in no vet and could be wrong
