We had to give our chickens Duramycin as one of them had bloody diarrhea and was very lethargic. Reading some of the posts on here, I wish I would have consulted the post before starting them on it.
This is the first time I had a sick chicken, and didn't want to lose the whole flock. I called the local extension and they advised duramycin. It looks like we have to keep them on it for 14 days and throw out the
eggs during this time, PLUS 2 weeks afterward. I have 15 chickens and that is a lot of eggs! Can I cook them, and add it to the compost? Any suggestions? We are talking over 400 eggs!
And if anyone has proof that we can eat the eggs sooner (as in not waiting the 14 days after treatment ends) please let me know.
thanks! ~cas
