Egg layed after Wazine treatment.

[chics in the sun]

Okay, some of you helped me out with figuring out I had two females a few weeks back

, so I held a swap and my pigeon guy came with two males for me. I separated them into two pairs, and then two weeks later I put them all into the same coop. Unfortunately, I had to treat all my birds for worms with Wazine a week ago. Now one of the pairs has laid an egg. I know you can't eat chicken eggs after a Wazine treatment, but what about letting the pigeons set on the eggs they lay after the treatment? Should I take it out and get them to start over in another week? Thanks again for all the advice!

Nobody? They are sitting on two eggs now. Should I just see if they hatch?

I think it should be fine as long as your not going to eat the squabs within two weeks of them being hatched. Honestly I think the only reason you can eat the eggs or meat of a treated animal is because it's not FDA approved for humans. here's a link http://www.drugs.com/vet/wazine-34.html at the bottom of the page is the number for FLEMING LABORATORIES who makes wazine.

Oh thank you! I feel better now. This is their first hatch together, and I'm already worried about how they will do!

They should be fine. As Timmy said, don't eat the babies before two weeks age.

Well, Charles is apparently a skirt-chasing dead-beat Dad. I candled one egg and it looked like it was developing. A few days later I was trying to do some things in the coop and Charles and the other female got out. I wasn't that worried, as Chales has a clutch and Maddison goes out and comes back all the time. I don't know if he chased her too far and they got lost or something got them, as neither have returned. I guess Amelia decided she wasn't up for the challenge of being a single mother and has abandoned the nest now. Too much drama in my pigeon world!
