Cortid and eating eggs...

[DeannaOR]

I wasn't sure where to post this. I have my whole flock on Cortid right now, so I won't be eating the eggs. Can I feed the eggs back to them? If I throw them in the run broken? Will this create egg eaters?

You can scramble the eggs up and feed them back, yes. I wouldn't just throw them in the run, though if mine find one on the ground broken, they'll all dive in and I've never had an egg eater.

Corid is concentrated amprolium like in medicated chick starter, not an antibiotic so you can eat the eggs if you want. You wrote "Cortid" so I want to make sure you mean Corid (no "t").

I've never had to give adult chickens an anti coccidial med, but if I did, I wouldn't hesitate to eat the eggs.

I did mean Corid. I only have one pullet who showed symptoms, but I was told to treat them all. She doesn't have anymore bloody stool, but she still acts slightly lethargic. Everyone else acts normal. It's been several days.
