Officially, you should not eat the eggs or meat if a bird is treated with enrofloxin for 6 months. This is to eliminate the possibility of humans developing resistance to enroflixin by ingesting minute quantities. Enroflixin is one of an important group of antibiotics for treating severe infections caused by gram negative bacteria. Very many human resistances to antibiotics devevelop as spill over from veterinary use of antibiotics. Mine are drakes and so I dont have an egg problem. And I dont eat my boys: they are backyard pets.!

Wow, 6 months never heard of having to wait this long. Is this new info @ruthhope? I always heard from educators on here 14 days.
