All I use now is grit, pink and black minerals, I did purchase some garlic bulbs but as of yet not put in, but nice to see how they all affect different things and what they do so thanks for that

I use garlic and apple cider vinegar. I did give them some oyster shell when rearing the young but not sure that it wasn’t that that started my problem as they were eating a lot of it and making them very thirsty.
I will be using a bit of lemon juice, brewers yeast and glucose powder on my widowhood’s during the season.

Andy, I use shell grit with pink minerals added. The birds go mad on it when feeding babies, with no ill effects. Shell grit is supposed to be heat sterilised because it can contain traces of shellfish which can make them very sick. Perhaps you got a batch that had not been properly cooked? Just a thought.
I use garlic and cider vinegar, as you know. I am of the opinion that garlic is most effective when freshly crushed. In combination with apple cider vinegar I think it is very good support for the health and well being of the pigeons. Again, just my thought.
