Hello List!!!!
Just have a few questions and I was hoping to get some advice....getting ready to treat for worms with Ivmec 3 drops down the throat and Four in One Powder.I was just wanting to make sure which one to treat with first? Is there a time I should wait inbetween treatments? I am still kinda new to this.I have only had birds for around a year and coming into my second breeding season. Any advice is always helpful and appreciated.

Worm first, medicate second, then give vitamins and pro bios third (since the meds pretty much wreck their bacterial environment).

Mark,
Why do you want to medicate if the birds don't need it? Only medicate when you notice some issue, otherwise, pigeons are hardy and don't need to be medicated often. Keep loft clean, clean water, ventilations, and dry loft and you will never need to medicate your birds. I usually medicate one month B4 breeding season as a previnative measure and avoid any health issues during breeding season.

I've got a hen who has dropping that are a clear puddle with a small green fecal matter in the center, with no odor.
Any ideas what this could be? All of the other birds have normal droppings. She was vaccinated for PMV a couple weeks back and doesn't have any other symptoms other than being a little 'down' looking and a bit light. She eats and drinks normally and has good muscle. Could this be a side effect of the PMV vaccination?
Any ideas as to what she might have are appreciated.
Russ
