Hello Neil, in the past I've used the Tollysan wormer & recently the Moxidectin super +.

Once before breeding & again when racing starts, I never seen anything in the droppings by visually seeing them probably need a microscope.

You would of thought that the pigeons wouldn't be in that great a condition if they had a problem with worms, a gradual drop in body condition as the worm issue took hold & the goodness from the food intake that the pigeons had eaten over a period of time you would see that they had been compromised or a concern highlighted.

I never see any but never really studied how small they can be ?
I have a mate who sent me some photos about 18 months ago of the results after he wormed some new pigeons he purchased .I couldn’t believe what I was seeing looked like spaghetti I had never seen that before in my life but apart from slightly dry feathering he said there was nothing obvious to notice that was wrong with the pigeons
You'll never see hairworms they're far to fine to see, you can see roundworms, like you said looks like spaghetti, I've seen birds with quite heavy infections but you'd never know by looking at them,
