Which vaccines?

[Anansi]

We have a feral pigeon, Chad, that is approx. 32-35 days old. I was wondering what vaccines were should give him. He will be in the same room as our 2 indoor chickens and 2 parakeets after another 2 or 3 weeks in a different room at the opposite end of the house. Also, do we need to vaccinate the chickens?

We've already given Chad a bath with the borax, and he is getting dove food for the moment. We have a larger cage, 8 sq. ft. coming, along with Hagen pigeon food, and flight suits (bird diapers) so Chad can socialize more and stretch the wings. Aside from toys for the cage, it's the anything else we need to do? What kind of supplements are recommended for the water?

This is Chad

My pigeons are not vaccinated.

Not yet on the pockets, he's still in the process of getting used to people. He definitely doesn't like me, he whacks me with a wing any time I get anywhere near him in the cage.

The reason I asked about vaccines is because he is feral, so we don't know what he may have been around. Do we need to worry about him being housed in the same room as the chickens and parakeets, as far as transmittable diseases from him? At the moment he's in a different room, but we're planning on moving him to the living room, where the others are housed, in a couple more weeks. Right now he's showing no signs of illness, but I know that doesn't mean much, since he could be a carrier.

As I said, he's just over a month old, based on the fact that he's just now getting to where he can fly, instead of hopping and flapping his wings. I don't know if that makes a difference as far as communicable diseases.

For the water I put some ACV apple cider vinegar. Some people put a garlic clove in, mine don't like garlic.

How much acv per gallon of water?

How much acv per gallon of water?

Maybe 2-4 tablespoons? I don't measure anymore, just pour a shot from the bottle. lol At first maybe start Chad on the low side so he gets a taste for it. I think it tastes good - people take it too.
eta I'm glad you made a thread for Chad - it was hard to keep track of him on the other thread.
He is a cutie. My 2 youngest(1 month old) just followed the others up to the big roof today.

Thank you, biophiliac.

Do you agree with the estimate on his age?
