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?
 
iirc the concern would be that hens eat a lot more than baby chicks and so would get a too high dose of medication
 
I don't feed it to them, they go to my chicks coop and eat the food that was on the floor. They don't get too much in them
 
oh yeah as far as i know they should be ok as long as it's not their 'main' feed lol
