Hy leghorn got sick and stopped laying eggs. She acted kind of dingy for a few days so I separated he rfrom the flock and nursed her back to health. I put Duramycin 10 in her drinking water and feed her the rickets diet. Once better, I reintroduced her back into the flock. The medicine said not to eat her eggs for 14 days. It's been 13, but she hadn't laid any eggs until today. Should I wait until she lays 13 more eggs, or do you think if I wait one more day it will be okay. Just don't want to eat the eggs until the medicine is out of her system.
 
One more day is fine. You do not need to wait for 13 more eggs.

One more day and the medication will have cleared from her body. Actually, it has cleared prior to this- the 14 day wait period is overkill to assure that it has cleared.
 
Great! Thanks guys! I'd hate to throw Gert's eggs out; they are delicious!
