I've been feeding my meaties a mixture of Purina Gamebird Startena and Purina Start and Grow (medicated). They are 7 weeks old and about 7lbs each. I forgot about the medicated feed. Is it safe to eat these birds or do I have to flush the medicated feed from them first. And if so, how long until I can process? Thanks everyone in advance for your responses...
 
Yep, it should say on the tag for the medicated feed if there is a withdrawal time required. Typically, medications like amprolium are safe to use right up until butcher time but you need to check the tag to make sure.
 
The feed that is medicated is formulated to be the sole source of feed, not to be diluted. By diluting the feed you are reducing the effectiveness of the feed and setting up potential medication resistance issues.

Without knowing the medication and the usage rate no one can give you any advice.

Look at your tag, it has ALL the information you need to answer your question.

I do believe you are OK, I would just get the unmedicated chick starter the next time you need feed just to be safe.
