Antibiotics/ Wormers And Egg Comsumption?

[TarHeelBlue]

Here's A Question For Everyone - What Wormers/antibiotics, Etc Can You Give Your Chickens That Would Prevent You From Every Eating Their Eggs Again? I Have A Worming Product That Says Not To Eat The Eggs After Using Their Product. It Doesn't Say For How Long - Reads As If You Can Never Eat The Eggs Again? Anybody Know The Answers??
Any Help Would Be Appreciated. I Don't Want To Use Any Of These Products If I Can Never Eat The Eggs Again.

Fourteen days is the normal withdrawal times for wormers. If you bought a bottle of wazine, it says do not medicate within 14 days prior to slaughter. That means after the 14th day, you can eat the chicken. If you can eat the chicken, then the eggs are safe to eat as well. Alot of people ignore the 14 day withdrawal and eat the eggs or feed them to their dogs. I prefer to observe the 14 day withdrawal to ensure there isnt any residue within the eggs.
There are too many antibiotics to list their withdrawal periods and they vary greatly. I found a link for you regarding various chicken meds, it's not all inclusive.
