Don't deprive them of dust baths, happy birds are thrifty birds. Any bird in any cage can get worms from other sources. Most parasites spend at least part of their lives in an intermediate host such as flies, ants, crickets, slugs, mice, rats and a host of other vermin and bugs. Rooster Booster covers most of the common parasites so worm them if you feel more comfortable. Keep in mind no wormer on the market currently takes care of all internal parasites so it's best to still be vigilant of your birds health.

Great! :) I am trying to get more on the bobwhite and topknot side of things, and I am only holding back Jumbo Pharaoh coturnix. I like to eat them, and I have alot of falconers that will buy tons of them, so fancy color does me no justice.

Haha thats kind of my problem too. Since the raccoon ate all my color research I only have pharaohs and i can't stop eating them..
 
Can I use this for their dust box/grit? They have already had dirt do in not worried about dirt in it
 
Sand packaged for use in cement products typically has more fine dust particles which aren't good for any animals respiratory system. Plus when this type of sand gets rained on it will often harden into a crust. That said tons of people use that type of sand because it's $1 a bag cheaper than sterilized play sand, which has larger grains and no dust.
