I worm mine's and give probiotic to replace the friendly bateria I do this a month before putting the pair down.I separate them during that time.I give the males a vitamin E pill every other day helps stimulate sexual activity in the cocks,I give the hens calcium and cod liver oil..helps with the egg formation and cod liver oil for smooth delivery..one way of purging your birds is with epsom salt.----------

I give the epsom salt after I worm the pigeons to help flush the system out and then again in ten days worm them and flush again and don't foget right after give probiotic to replace the friendly bacteria that was taken out too..I put a tsp or 2 in a gallon of water..
I also use it in the bath water especially when moulting.I always make sure they have a drink of clean plain water before bath so they don't drink as much from the bath water..
