Eggs safe for chicken consumption when using antibiotic?

[StephensonC]

Can chickens eat their own eggs 3 days after stopping treatment with oxytetracyline, or will it prolong the withdrawal period for human consumption?

I don't know the answer, but I feed mine the eggs anyways because I assume the dose would be so low that it doesn't matter.

Feeding those eggs back to your chickens promotes the development of drug resistant bacteria, because it cycles a very low dose of drug back into the birds. Not a good idea! Why do it, when the value of those few eggs is really minimal in the whole scheme of things...
