    If I am giving the hens antibiotics can I eat the eggs or do I have to get rid of them?

    I am curious to know under what other conditions do I stop eating the eggs though.

    Thanks

    For antibiotics you stop using them. It depends what you are using to how long, I think but, I've heard up to a month.

    I'm going to post this out again just cause I'm not really sure about the answers, so if anyone can tell me if I can still eat my eggs while they are on and after they finish a treatment of Terramyacin would be appreciated.
    If I can't eat them, how long should I wait.

    Thanks
