quickcluck Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Chucking away all my girls lovely eggies. They are all stacked up on the side in the kitchen as I can't bring myself to put them in the bin I just keep looking at them lovingly..... because their is such a long withdrawal period should I change their food to slow the laying down a bit, or such carry on regardless?

Tink Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Its horrible isnt it....I did that last week - had a pile of eggs that I could only bring myself to throw away on day 7!!! To make matters worse two of my girls started laying during the withdrawal period and I had to throw their 1st eggs away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeckyBoo Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 dont you have family or neighbours? its a big wild world out there if you look I think they're worming their hens - you can't eat the eggs or feed them back to the hens, they have to get binned - criminal! but necessary BeckyBoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Its medication not wormer but you are correct its all to do with the withdrawl period, I think Quickcluck said its 14 day withdrawl which is a shame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simone Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 i thought i read somewhere you could still eat the eggs??/ is that wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 You can eat the eggs if worming with the standard dose Flubenvet wormer but most other medications have an egg withdrawl period sadly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scramble Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Just an idea, but if you can't eat them, you could blow them Pin a hole in each end, blow out the eggy. Clean. You could paint them too if you wanted. I had to throw an egg away once because I accidentally dropped it on the floor and it cracked...I was very upset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 You are right Tasha, an 8 day course plus a 14 day withdrawal I am crying here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 To make egg withdrawal more bearable I spray the white and blue egg layers first. Then three days later the brown egg layers. This way I still have eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
