when do I stop the medicated feed?

[salliet]

I have six pullets - 11 weeks old. I would like to switch to regular feed from medicated feed. One or two pullets have loose, watery poops. They have always been this way since they were day old chicks. I am not even sure which one/ones it is.
Should I keep up the medicated feed or look elsewhere for the cause of the loose poops?

Loose poops can be from more water consumption, or even higher protein treats if your giving any. I believe medicated feed is fed for 6-8 weeks. Your chicks should have built up immunity by than.

Feed medicated until your chicks have been outside on your soil, and in the coop, for at least ten days or so. That's when they really need it; when exposed to your local coccidia. Mary
