Tweety Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I am worming my ex-batts with Flubenvet at the moment, so will not be using their eggs for human consumption. I was wondering if I can boil the eggs and feed them back to the girls?I hate to throw the eggs away and thought this might be an acceptable way of using them up. What do others do with their eggs in this situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 there's no egg withdrawal period with flubenvet so, as long as you're dosing correctly, you can still eat the eggs. It should tell you this on the tub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Absolutely! No withdrawal period for Flubenvet. Personally, I even carry on eating them when they've been on Baytril. I know this is against advice, but I haven't come to any harm yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 I know that it says no withdrawal period on the tub, but there was quite a lot of debate on here not so long ago ( of course I can't find it now!) about Flubenvet and egg withdrawal, and it has put me off using the eggs for human consumption. Perhaps I should just ask if it is ok to give my girls boiled eggs, or will this encourage them to try eating their freshly laid eggs ( assuming that they are clever enough to make the connection!) ?

Scooby Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 My girls sometimes get scrambled egg as a treat - they wolf it down! And no, they haven't made a connection yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Watch Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I personally eat the eggs whilst girls are on normal dose of Flubenvet. I suppose this is a personal decision. But I would not eat eggs if I had to double dose for something like gape worm or if I had overdosed them in error. My chooks do eat scrambled egg. Usually when my son leaves cold left over bits on his breakfast plate. The chooks love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
