Safe to dip eggs in Oxine or Tylan?

From what ive read, if you do this tylan egg dipping thing: http://www.poultryswapontario.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1411
It should prevent any illnesses like mycoplasmosis that can be passed down through the egg, from infecting the chick.
The only thing that makes me alittle skeptical is that in that link they said the eggs need to sit in ice water so they can absorb the tylan, instead of hot water which would repel it.
It makes me nervous that the drastic cold temperature would kill the eggs....so i'm wondering if i should do i test hatch first.
I wouldn't want to kill all the chicks i really want to hatch with this method...but i'm also scared that if i don't, i run the risk of having infected chicks!

I'm just scared that i will buy eggs from someone and find out they end up having some kind of CRD that was passed down through the egg and then i'm stuck in this horrible situation all over again.


I know that my coop and run is still infected so i plan on cleaning out everything, disinfecting the coop with oxine and putting hydrated lime on the soil.
I can't move my run

.
I wouldn't have any chicken out their till march or april, so with all that and the winter freezing everything, i'm hoping it will be safe...

I am so sorry for your heartache

I just recently recieved a batch of eggs from ebay that was very soiled. It came with washing instructions that said to wash in Antibacterial dish soap then rinse with Bleach water. I followed this but used the oxine to rinse the eggs with. They are incubating just fine

Once again I am so sorry your precious babies are gone but they will live for ever in your loving heart

I found another article on dipping eggs in tylan and it seems quite successful.
So i guess now i'm not worried about it anymore, since multiple people have used it and they still have good hatch rates.

I pers. like Oxine better. I dip them when I collect them and keep them in a clean place. I then dip them again for about 10 seconds in cool oxine solution just before going into the incubator. I like oxine better only because I keep it around for fogging the coop once a week anyway. 7ozs to one gallon pure water is what I use as a dip and in the humidifier in the coop once a week.

Oxine will be the next substance I add to my byc page. I am currently collecting and researching information for microbial and parasite control and organizing it on the byc page

Looking forward to reading your findings. Which BYC page?

apparently oxine will only clean the surface area and will not be absorbed into the egg, so it can not kill bacteria like mycoplasmosis.
So thats why i'm choosing to use tylan.
