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]

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

[quickcluck]

Now that is rotten!

I was nearly in tears...how sad is that???

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

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

[simone]

i thought i read somewhere you could still eat the eggs??/

 

is that wrong.

[Redwing]

You can eat the eggs if worming with the standard dose Flubenvet wormer but most other medications have an egg withdrawl period sadly

thanks i bought flubenvet so thats ok

[Scramble]

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

[quickcluck]

You are right Tasha, an 8 day course plus a 14 day withdrawal

 

I am crying here

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.
