My chickens have recently been sick. They have been coughing and sneezing. I have been giving them Duramycin-10 but I just not realized you cant eat or sell the eggs while giving them the antibiotics. My family ate some eggs the other day and I have been selling the eggs to a few of my neighboors. I was just wondering if they will be okay along with my family. Also how long until I can sell and eat the eggs again?

Please Help. Thanks

You will all be fine, just stop using the eggs for two weeks after you're done medicating.  If you can find some Denegard, which is normally for pigs, that's a great product to use for what you've described, and you can still eat the eggs.  It's a liquid that comes in a large bottle, and you put that in the drinking water.  It costs around $50.00, but it works great and you get ALOT of it.  Makes the drinking water bitter, so you can put some sugar in the water to offset that bitter taste.

Actually, there's a 21 day egg withdrawal after last use of duramycin. Denagard is used to treat for mycoplasma diseases in chickens.
