:D I was waiting in hope that @Old_Strain_Lover would answer your post. He has so much more experience than me!
I find I'm better off if I don't get too stressed about changes in their poops. As long as they are eating, drinking and acting happy I don't worry too much. When I have noticed the poops seem really bad I have given a course of amprolium in the water (for coccidiosis)and it has always made them nicer for a time at least! But thankfully I have had almost no illness in my loft. It a low-stress loft I think.
This morning i wanted to give them some amprolium and i couldnt find it and figured and then i remembered that i finished it when i maked treatment for my 100 chickens
I my loft since i had pigeons i had just one dead and it was a 9 years old hen ho died from canker

Haha... thanks for the vote of confidence. I'm not one to throw medicine at birds though, so as far as medicines go I'm not good to answer those questions. I have been selectively breeding for health in my birds for years and years and years. If a bird cannot stay healthy naturally, I don't have a place for it in my breeding program. Almost every bird is going to pick up some kind of sickness (especially if it goes outside), and they need to have an immune system to be able to overcome it on their own. So many people just blindly medicate at the first sign of sickness and they kill the immune systems of the birds, and also kill the effectiveness of the medicines in the long run.
