Ivormectin 1.87% Wasting eggs?

[viktoriacl]

How long are you, who use Ivermectin oral, wasting eggs? I have seen anywhere from two weeks to six weeks on here! Thoughts?

Ok let me try this again.lol I wormed my girls with Ivomectin 1.87%. I am wondering how long to throw away the eggs and not eat them.

I have heard people feed the eggs back to their hens.

There is wormer residue in the eggs, it's extending the withdrawal.

I go ahead and throw out eggs for 3 weeks. A little overkill, but I would rather err on the side of caution. Hurts to throw out those eggs, so I take that opportunity to bait my live traps with them. I have found that raccoons won't resist a nice yummy egg!! The residual wormer doesn't hurt where they end up going. LOL

Perfect! Thanks! I hate tossing them out! I was seeing over 20 days in some posts! 14 sounds good. I think I'm past that now anyway. Thanks again!
