Safe to eat the eggs?

[Chris09]

Chris is pretty knowledeable about this stuff. Lord knows I've asked him enough about stuff over the years.

If he says it safe to eat the eggs... I'd make an omelete.

Thank You,

Chris

Amprolium is used for the prevetion and treatment of Coccidia, By offering a Medicated Feed [like a starter] to a new bird your treating for any Coccidia that the new bird may have and bring to your place and also your treating for any new Coccidia that the bird may pick up at your place.

Thanks I know about starter feed but I just dont know why you would give it to a laying hen.

Rikithemonk is correct - the woman I bought them from suggested it (temorarily) to help prevent the introduction of any new diseases (from either flock). However, since the medicated chick starter isn't technically for laying hens, I don't think Manna Pro specifically addressed the edibility of the eggs. At least they didn't on the packaging.

Chris09 - I appreciate the feedback and you obviosly know a lot about the subject. Beyond the technical side, I take your comment "Amprolium has no withdraw for Meat or Eggs" to mean they that it won't adversely affect the eggs, correct?

As Chris09 is indicating, as well as other users and the woman I bought the two new birds from, medicated chick starter has medicine (Amprolium) to prevent the growth of diseases that the new birds could introduce to my existing flock or vice versa. This is a temporary treatment to prevent any of my brids from getting sick. Admittedly, I am new to BYCs, but the majority of the information I am getting, here and elsewhere, does seem to indicate that it is a decent way to help ease the potential issues of introducing new birds to a flock.

I agree. I just didn't understand.

Correct,
Amprolium stays in the digestive track and is not absorbed by the fowl so Amprolium will not be deposited into eggs or meat.
