My chickens appear to have gotten a respiratory issue on top of some worms. I started them on wazine and oxytetracycline in their water yesterday. I am familiar with the 24 days with no eating eggs for the worming cycle, but could these eggs still be hatched out safely? First time thinking of doing this and I'm looking for a more experienced opinion. Thanks in advance!
 
From what i have read, the de-worming treatment should have no effect on fertile eggs. Re: antibiotics - some say don't set, others say that they have had no problems so the jury is out on that i suppose. Whilst i am a newbie, i read all opinions and decided to set a few days after antibiotics with no apparent issues. I guess it just depends how desperate you are to set eggs! If you are not in a rush or plan to use an incubator, then i would wait. The flip side of the coin is you have nothing to lose by setting them now.
