Time to stamp out this bout of coccidia once and for all. I was resistant about medication, but enough is enough. I've been following a strict diet of pro-biotics, vitamins, apple cider vinegar and garlic. Nothing - still have large amounts of coccidia.
This means that it comes down to (a) the loft, or (b) loft management. I think it's a bit of both. The loft is too small. Period. I also have too many cocks all competing. And, yes, I could run a cleaner loft. There also may be another underlying issue such as heat, cold or draft.
So I will use the Baycox to stamp out the problem and bring the birds to good health and then I will address the other issues.
Solutions? Build a second loft or expand the one I have. Both are bad options in my tiny backyard, but necessary if I want to keep the pigeons - and I do! They are an absolute pleasure.
More brainstorming later after I speak with a few old timers.
