Hatching Eggs in withholding period

[crazy chook]

Hi I am about to give my chickens some ivermectin which has a withholding period of up to 14 days for egg consumption.

Is it possible to hatch those eggs or should I just throw them out??

Does any one know?

I wouldn't take a chance... I'd chuck them. Or maybe your dog needs a wormer... feed it to the dog?

i have read on hear that you do not incubate until after the 14 days. someone on here did and had alot of deformed chicks.

Should be fine for most dogs, but if you have a herding breed with collie in the background don't give them the eggs. Many of the herding breeds are sensitive to Ivermectin and it can cause major harm or death. When I asked my vet about it (we have an Aussie) she wasn't sure if the small amount from the eggs of a treated hen would be a problem, but advised against taking the chance since sensitivity varies greatly from dog to dog. I give them to our lab mix, but the aussie does without when the hens need to be wormed.
