Egg withdrawal for medicated feed?

[Hessk]

A few of my hens (not to be named) broke into the shed and ate a bunch or Purina brand medicated chick starter. Are their eggs safe for consumption?

Good question Waiting to see what is recommended. Unsure how much is a bunch but thinking eggs should be ok? Curious, what are you feeding your hens?

Is it medicated with Amprolium? I don't think there is an egg withdrawal period with that.

You are correct!

They were probably in their for about 5 min pecking away before I caught them. They have layer pellets in the coop, they get a scoop of scratch thrown in the yard when I let them out in the morning to free range and after dinner before they get locked up they get our days worth of vegetable scraps and egg shells.

I’ll go check the ingredients! Thank you

It is medicated with Amprolium. Looks like there’s no egg or meat withdrawal. We should be safe!

I have had some adult birds eat some medicated chick feed. No problems. The medication (Amprolium) in the feed is to help the chicks acquire a resistance to Coccidiosis.
