I reckon that it is best not to treat because this is the time that the birds can build up their resistance to the various health challenges. I work on the basis that the less times you gave pigeons medication the better. My birds will have their droppings and swabs tested about the end of November and given their vaccination but that's it. At one time I used to treat for paratyphoid but I stopped that years ago because I think it is unnecessary and it does not really protect the birds.

Treat only with the wheelie in the winter.Im always looking to make space. Its the time to get the immune system kicking in and any that don't cope can find food elsewhere ;) if ye know what I mean.

No one treat as a prevention for e coli? Salmonella?

there should not be any of that around george once your not in contact with other birds keep the water clean and as dell says wheelie for any that cant handle it the off season is time to let them build up resistance to anything going around
