Coccidiosis is highly infectious and quite a common illness that infects the intestines of birds. It usually exists to some degree in all pigeons, but most adult birds produce sufficient immunity to the disease to continue to be healthy.
Signs of a Coccidiosis infection in pigeons include:
Young pigeons are most typically infected, or birds that have been subjected to severe stress (i.e. racing, exhibiting, lack of food and water, or relocation). Adult birds may become contaminated from consuming unclean water or from coming into contact with moist droppings.
There are a wide range of treatments specially formulated to treat coccidiosis in racing pigeons. Water-soluble treatments, such as Harkers Coxoid, are generally easier to administer.
That said, if you’re just treating a few birds a tablet treatment may be more effective.
In addition to administering preventatives such as a 3 in 1 (which also covers canker and internal parasites such as worms).
You should try to keep the loft dry and sanitary.
Do not allow feed to come into contact with droppings, and disinfect drinkers often and race baskets weekly. Additionally, whenever possible don’t let the birds drink from gutters or mud puddles.
Another thing to be mindful of is when bringing new birds into the loft they should ideally be isolated at first, since they may facilitate the spread of coccidiosis to your healthy birds. Pigeons returning from a race need to be provided with a preventative remedy shortly following their return, especially if out overnight.
Pam please tell Donnie these Hansennes do indeed have a lot of class. Large wings like I've never seen like maybe on a duck or owl. They have a lovely prance, and their Roman noses takes the cake. Love it! Keep up the good breeding Donnie.
Dear Don,
Just sending a gift for my appreciation for getting such nice Sion birds from you. When I get some youngsters from them, I will send you some photos. I am still planning on purchase another hen and cock. Have a good breeding season with your birds.
Received birds this morning here in Missouri. They are safe and both beautiful.
Beautiful female pigeon. Lovely mix of colors, fether quality and great posture. I figured her picture wasn't the best pose. The male is impressive and very masculine looking and I'm happy to say they are calm and get along very well together. Thanks again they are gorgeous....
The birds arrived today got them all tucked in the loft. You saved the best for last I think there nice birds ,,only sorry I didn't buy a couple of the other hens. Thanks alot
Hello. I received the birds today they look great. Thank you very much.
The Hen is here! Awesome bird & I can feel the power just holding her. She is very calm pigeon & that is always a plus. Thanks so much!
Hi this is Nate from Wisconsin. I just wanted to let you know the Andalusian cockbird made it here in good shape today. Thanks again!
Hi Don, birds are adapting well. I like their presentaion & calmness. Looks like they will fit in with my birds. I see what you mean about the BB. We'll see how he produces. Might b a genetic thing & go away when crossed with and unrelated hen.
Regards
Jim
