Chickens getting into things they shouldn’t!

[HollyF]

Due to a miscommunication with my son, he accidentally let our chickens out of their coop when my husband and I had given our hogs medication in their feed. We gave them Bimeda Specteogard Scour Check 240 ML. I don’t know if my chickens actually ate any and everyone seems perfectly fine, but the fact is I don’t know and I feel like I should air on the side of caution and assume they did. I have Called the manufacturer and they can’t tell me anything. I’m concerned about tossing eggs.... should I toss them and for how long? Is there a general rule of thumb of how long if chickens get into something they shouldn’t? We have never had this happen and would love any insight or advice! Thanks in advance!!

Your birds should be fine, however just observe them for anything out of the ordinary for a couple of days. The product can be used to treat various diseases in poultry; enteritis, CRD, MS.

So would you toss or just continue like normal?

According to the link it states that it's not supposed to be given to layers. Five days withdrawal for slaughter.
Personally I'd eat the eggs. Dont eat the eggs if you or a family member suspects an allergic reaction to the residue in the eggs. Dont sell nor give away eggs to be eaten.
