Incubating eggs from pullets treated with tetracycline.

[Rebel Rooster]

Can eggs coming from pullets being treated with tetracycline be incubated and hatched without problems??

I guess I would ask why they're on an antiobiotic? If it is something that can pass through the egg to embryo, I wouldn't hatch them.

I have a few, out of a flock of over 100 birds, that developed a cough and wheezing. I was advised by the manager at TSC that the whole flock needed to be treated with this antibiotic.

I think that what ever the reason they are sick is more likely to reduce your hatchability rather than the drugs.

I wouldn't take advice from just anyone at a feed store either. They don't have all the knowledge you need before giving your hens drugs.
