I hope this is in the right place. Treated the flock for coccidiosis about a month ago, everyone survived.. However, it's apparent that I now have a few roosters I need to dispose of. Can you consume birds treated for coccidiosis with Amprol? If so, what's the time I need to wait for the medication to clear the system? Tried google with no luck..
 
If you go down the page a bit there is a chart that shows the withdrawal times for Amprol -- it lists a 0 day withdrawal for chickens, so you should be well safe at this point.

Additionally, Amprol acts as a thiamine blocker - so even if there were residual traces in the birds (at this point there won't be, but lets say they were actively on it and that was a concern for you) there would not be any ill-effects for you consuming the flesh unless you were already thiamine compromised.
