How long until we can eat the eggs?

My chickens have been off antibiotics for about a week.
How long until we can eat the eggs again?
Thanks,
Cathi

Which antibiotic?
If you google "egg withdrawal period for xxx in poultry" you may find the answer.

Thanks, I will try that.
I have been doing some research and I'm getting anywhere from 2 days to 3 months as my answer.
I thought maybe someone here might know the answer.

One laying hen was on Tylan 50 injections. The rest of the laying hens were on Terramycin in their water.

Thanks,
Cathi

It would seem like the meds would give that information on the container!

10 days for the terramycin

14 days for the tylan

It's really good though that you asked, would sure hate for you or your family to have gotten ill because of it. Glad your chickens are better too!
