I am planning on treating all of my birds with Worm Away this week. The thing is that I have 3 female button quail, and I usually cook the eggs that the quail lay and feed them back to all of my birds. If I treat the quail with Worm Away, is it safe to continue to feed the eggs to all my birds? Should I not do this anymore after I have treated the quail with the medication?

I am wondering because I noticed that the bottle says that after the birds have been treated, they should not be used for human consumption. Does Worm Away also hurt birds in the same way? Would Worm Away leave any traces in the quail's systems or their future eggs that could harm the birds that are eating their cooked eggs?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I found this thread for you Amy - from my 'younger days'.
I think you're okay... read to the bottom of Tiffany's response.

If you want to play it super-safe, toss out/discard the eggs the Quail lay for the next 4 weeks. They'll be 100% back to normal after that much time. Just use chicken eggs in the meantime.

thanks liz!
