My rooster had been in sick bay for a week.... hens were pecking his feet to blood. I have been busy working a very long way from home with little time to help out with the chickens, so my 16 y/o daughters were taking care of him for me.
(they are working off a prom dress debt....PROM its way too expensive)
Anyway, they told me that they had fed him medicated chick feed? ARGH! What will this do? Should I be worried? His feet are healed, so I returned him to his flock. Should I be worried about the fertile eggs? Eating them or incubating them? I am not sure if this medicated stuff will transfer to the egg from the rooster. Silly question I know, but I know that all ye wise chicken peeps here will be able to set me straight.
Thanks!
