My chickens are currently on antibiotics. I know we can't eat the eggs or feed them back to the chickens, but I really don't want to just throw them away. Anyone have ideas on what else we can do with them?
 
Anyone you feed them to can get a small amount of the antibiotic from the eggs, and feeding them to your animals can help cause antibiotic resistance, so throwing them away is best.
 
I agree. I always just discard eggs from hens treated with antibiotic's or dewormers. They are not used or fed to anything or anyone. It may initially seem like a waste but when you consider that by feeding them to anything you are potentially increasing the possibility of either bacterial or parasite resistance it becomes a small price to pay.
