Eggs After Antibiotics

[chickengr]

Thank you. Well, what's strange is she is the only one with this chalky shell, that's one way to know it is her egg. But it's not consistently like that, maybe every other egg.

I was very hesitant about using anything, but we had one hen die last January and my daughter was really sad about it. Mommy you should've given her medicine. : ( Thought she might get over what she had, but she died in a few days. She was a 'roaster' chicken and she was always a bit 'off'. I think she had a heart attack. So when this one got sick, I just felt I had to do something.

The vet was hesitant about the wormer because he didn't find any in her poop, but he wondered if maybe gape worms, although he said he did take a look as far as he could and didn't see any. She had bad poop the whole time almost 2 weeks.I think he thought that since we already used Penicillin and Tylan, the wormer would cover all the bases.

Still hope someone knows about the watery egg white, and if this gets better? It strange to think that antibiotics ruins all the future eggs of a chicken.

I think your vet is not an avian vet. there is no way anything can stay in a body forever. commercial animals that people all over the world eat are fed with antibiotics and hormones and nobody cares. it is simply impossible that antibiotics will remain in chicken's body forever. it will only kill some of good bacteria but that is not problem for eggs.

Frenchy is a very lucky bird! Drug use and withdrawal times are evolving issues in the USA, and probably elsewhere. farad.org is a good site to look at, and tends to have very current information. What was considered good practice even a couple of years ago is verboten now, because of increasing concern about drug residues in food causing antibiotic resistant bacteria. Mary

you definitively are NOT an idiot. love has no price!

Tell me that the next time she tries to kill my pizza delivery guy for entering her domain, AKA my yard/driveway (yes, she has done this more than once. Fortunately, I tip well and our delivery guy is awesome.), or she tries to break my arm because I have to treat "her" birds for bugs or worms. Frenchy and I have a LONG history of actively disliking each other. I do not know why I put up with this bird, but I do. And she puts up with me...barely. It is a relationship that has worked for almost 8 years.

increasing concern is about making money only.

did you know that pharmaceutical industry makes more money than narco/weapon industry?

I am only doubting you because I know the stats for the weapon industry. I did not think that pharm had reached that level yet. Pharm is still user-driven whereas weapons are fear and policy driven. Lately, fear and policy are huge, but meds are being considered a necessary part of life (as they should), so the drive is to decrease the cost of these life-saving measures.

If you are citing Shkreli's shenanigans as a basis for this post, he is going to drive his company into the ground. There are already 2 companies that are undercutting his prices by creating their own versions of the contested meds at a fraction of the cost.

if you think about the price of medicines and how many people use it and how often than compare it to how many people there are and how many soldiers. no need of statistics which are just a kind of lucky guess. to get the real result you have to take all the things into account and that is impossible.

The wormer you used os band from use in laying hens. Some use it and still eat said eggs but i dont know the withdraw period. I personally am on the same side as the vet. Thats alot of chemicals at once to give a hen and then eat her eggs. And no the outside of the shell is simple calcium build up. However not sure why the egg would have liquidly egg whites. Kathy and eggsessive would know.

I think avian infectious bronchitis (IB) can cause this.

Mmm thats interesting and good to know so ib can cause liquid whites. Any thing else that could?
