I like to give bath salts to me and my dad's stock birds to keep them healthy but not the racers

I normally just use water from the tap & usually add some blue crystals to it, not sure what it's called ( could be copper sulphate) I may be wrong on that, I'll have to have a look tomorrow & correct it if it's wrong.

A pigeon will handle worse for having a bath as you are washing it's bloom off. Nothing you can add to the bath will make it handle better. You can't change a birds feather type. It's either course or silky. If it's course 'natural' condition will improve it, but not to the extent of making silky. Natural silky feathered birds will always handle better than a course feathered one.

Is course as in dry king

Yes Neil

Verkon s is unbelievable don't kill all the good bacteria was tested in kio carp ponds and kio breeders used verkon with great success it didn't even kill the eggs so verkon does zero harm to pigeons it all so kills 46 types of fungi all mycoplasma and and viruses as well dose is 5gm to 5litres but seen affects with 10gms per litre ,,in south after the do 2 treatments now of 10 days verkon s and don't use antibiotics.

Iv tasted it my self best mouth wash ever lol
Canker treatment metraronizole is rotten
Emtrl 50 times better

Best bath for birds is 2 table spoons epsom salts 2 teaspoon bi carb soda to 10 litres water this breaks down lactic acid and definitely helps asodosis
All so if u get wing lock 5 days this hand bath and bird will start flying again proper .
