frank-123 Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 http://www.auspigeonco.com.au/try here george dont get to worried about illness just watch your pigeons there droppings should be firm flying and eating with vigour but your birds are still young give them time if you are not going to race them stay as natural as possiblecider vinegar from asda 15ml in a two litre drinker every second or third day most disease come by drinking dirty water keep your drinker clean
alex young Posted July 2, 2010 Report Posted July 2, 2010 Ive recently got my first youngbirds, can some of you guys let me know what treatments i should be using etc im hearing all these different things and really not sure a dont want to poison themAs quoted in previous post it is best to keep to natural products like vinegar etc.but it is also handy to know what you may be up against.If you google Pantex it will give a brief health schedule for young pigeons that may be of some help.atb.

sapper756 Posted July 5, 2010 Report Posted July 5, 2010 Get yourself a garlic bulb, peel it and put the segments into a large plastic bottle, fill with water and allow to sit for a few days, then add regularly to the birds waterhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif
