I have read the link you sent me a few times and it says the half shelf life of the medication in the feed is only a couple of hours so I was thinking if I take the birds feed away at night and introduce the new feed in the morning the levels of the original medicated feed will have dropped in...

Thanks so much that link was a great help from what I understand about synergistic the meds could interact to make a stronger medication. Not reallly sure what to do now!!!

Coxidin is one and lasalocid is the other both for coccidiosis

Hi thanks for replying the medication in the feeds I have is not amprolium it is a different two types so when I switch I imagine the medications will mix for a day or two that’s what I’m concerned about. I live in north east England and quail are not a big thing here so I struggle to get feed...

I have just hatched my first batch of quail and they are 2 weeks old now. My worry is I have them on a medicated feed with a high protein level but this is not my normal feed for the rest off my adult birds and could only get a small amount off this so will be running out soon. The other birds...

Hi I noticed u have posted a few times about lasalocid being safe to eat the eggs. Iv looked all over the internet and it says a lot of different things. I had big problems with coccidiosis and put my quail on a medicated feed containing lasalocid and have had no problems since but I am just so...

Hi I can only get a medicated feed for my quail it contains lasalocid as the active ingredient to prevent coccidiosis. I know aprolium is ok when eating the eggs but not sure about lasalocid. I have no problem feeding them a medicated feed but just need advice on this drug when I’m eating the eggs.

The hens are about 6 months old and the roo is about 2 months old. When I put him in three off the hens pecked at him but that has stopped now but the one hen he’s trying to single out is a softer bird and didn’t show any aggression towards him when I first put him in. Not sure if I’m correct...

Hi to you all I am on here again with problems. I had a group off 5 birds 1 roo and 4 hens but sadly lost the male quail so I introduced a new roo to the the hens and the male has seemed to single one of the female quail out. He constantly chases her I think to try and mate but she is having...

Hi I got a bunch of new quail and four turned out to be roosters. Two of them are fine in with the hens but I have the other two in another hutch together just the two of them. I am getting some more hens for them but not for another 5 weeks. Will they be ok together till I get the new hens I’m...

Ok thanks for that I will separate her tonight and try that first. Thanks to you both

In my last post I explained about two of my quail fighting and the roo bird had been pecked in the eye. I followed advice and separated him for a few days but I have now put him back with the others but the hen he was fighting with has started straight back pecking him. It’s definitely the hen...

I only have the one roo in the set up and six hens but did notice one off the hens pecking at him before I removed him. Thanks to you both for your help I always get fast great advice on here. 👍

Hi I came home the other night and noticed one quail with a bleed coming from the beak area so I sorted that out but the next day I noticed the cock bird had one eye closed and a little swelling around it. The next day I separated it and cleaned the eye and managed to open it and it seemed abit...

Hi I will be getting 8 new quail chicks in a couple of weeks at which point they will be 4 to 5 weeks old. I imagine the breeder will be feeding them on a chick starter crumble feed. I would like to eventually get them on to a pellet but do I wait till there 6 to 8 weeks old? Also if I do keep...
