when can I start eating the eggs again? they have been on antibiotics for 7 days now and doing much better. So today was their last day taking them, so when can I start eating the eggs again?

Welcome to BYC. What antibiotics are you using? Different meds have different withdrawal periods.

tetracycline for 7 days, my chickens were sneezing and shaking their heads some. I had just gotten my 6 month old golden comets, so I thought I would be on the safe side, now they are great, but I just want to eat those eggs, and I'm not sure when i can safely eat them.

Tetracycline is the same thing as Duramycin 10. There's a 21 day withdrawal period after the last dosing.
