While, in August, my two hens were molting and not laying, I've treated them for coccidiosis, cause one of them had a watery poop during two weeks.
I've treated them with Sulfaquinoxaline 2% for 5 days (4 ml. per liter). I bought the drug in a specialized avian shop. After giving it to the hens I red that it's not suitable for laying hens. The same I've red on the web, also in the Italian sites than international sites. May someone tell me what I have to do now? May I eat eggs and how long I have to wait? Thank to you all!
This is what I've red: "Warning (human Food) Do not treat chickens or turkeys within 14 days of slaughter for food. Do not medicate chickens or turkeys producing eggs for human consumption."
 
You can eat the eggs starting ten days after the end of the treatment according to several research papers that measure the amounts in the eggs. They also refer to "the ten day withdrawal period for eggs."
