Feeding eggs to chickens on antibiotics.

[EggsInTexas]

So, I'm treating two quarantined egg-laying hens with antibiotics in their water for three days for a respiratory infection. As per the antibiotics, we are not to eat their eggs until after 6 days of discontinuing the antibiotics. Can I feed these eggs back to the chickens or should I discard them? Thanks!

What antibiotic are you using?

What antibiotic are you using?

I purchased it at a local feed store. I know it had doxycycline and 3 other antibiotics. It was recommended. It turned the water like malachite green. On the instructions, it did state to not use the eggs laid until 6 days after I've stopped treating. I'm suppose to leave the water with them for 3 days.

Feeding those eggs just keeps them in those meds, not helpful.
What is this product, BTW?

Makes sense. I've been discarding them. I don't remember the name of the meds. It was a powder, combo of antibiotics.
