Can my egg laying hens eat medicated chick starter?

[IloveChickens3000]

I have 2 egg laying hens and 13 baby chicks. My baby chicks eat Purina medicated chick starter. My 2 hens LOVE the Purina feed. Is it ok if I eat the eggs of my hens when they eat the medicated chick starter? I know that if the feed contains Amprolium then the eggs are fine to eat?

I personally dont see a problem. Ive done it a few times when i had a leftover bag.

OK thank you. I was getting a little worried. But what company is your feed that is leftover?

 

[Punkybrewster]

I use purina or damour. Tractor supply.
Iv never even thought twice about feeding it to them. I dont like to waste food so...

As far as egg withdraw, i have no idea. We have always eaten them and lived.

Yep, if the active ingredient is Amprolium, it's OK to eat the eggs.
I was in the same situation when I got my second batch of Chicks.
When my Hens finished their feed, I fed them the Medicated feed.

From Nutrena. Read myth #3.

If the active ingredient in your Medicated feed is not Amprolium, do not eat the eggs unless it is stated that you can. GC
