And you haven't had fresh eggs in a year??

Or are you just talking about select individuals?

Nope, I haven't eaten a single fresh egg all year.
I was talking about my whole flock.

That's what I was wondering too......what did you do with all those eggs?

I boiled them and fed them back to my flock.

 I couldn't have done it

Well I'm very picky when it comes to food safety, I didn't want to get sick or something like that.

By feeding it back to the flock you elongate the withdraw period. But I doubt there would be any residue now. Hope you've eaten some since your last post now

Ah, I see. Our vet said it was okay to feed the eggs back to them, so I assumed it was fine.

I have, I ate one of Lady Marigold's eggs for dinner! And it was absolutely delicious!

I'm glad you finally got to enjoy some

It's fine to feed them to your chickens, but when you think of it...if the egg has residue of a med or wormer and you feed it back to the chicken then the chicken will be digesting at least a small amount of med or wormer, etc. But anywho at this point it wouldn't matter anyhow. Bon Appetit!

Thanks again for your help!!!

This still boggles my mind...why didn't the vet give a withdrawal period for the egg consumption??

I don't know.
She definitely should of though.
