When you give your meat birds antibiotics, how long do you wait after medication course is done to cull meat?

I had a respiratory infection pop up in the flock right before some were going to be culled. So I just treated everyone. I did 80/20 Tylosine/dox. I have read anywhere between a week to two weeks after antibiotics but then when I went to double check I couldn't find it.

Is that about what you all do? Assuming the bird is now fine and it is for personal consumption?
 
NOAH compendium says up to a 9 day withdrawal period for Doxycycline, depending on dose. Tylosin is only a day.

I haven't personally ever given antibiotics to meat birds within weeks of harvesting but I'd probably go by that as a minimum.
