enpekt Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Our flock is being treated with amoxycillin trihydrate to control/reduce Infectious Bronchitis. At the same time we have the broodiest of broodies and want to hatch eggs from our flock. Gilbert has been busy! We wonder whether the drug might have rendered the eggs infertile. Can anyone please advise us one way or the other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Not too sure. I wouldn't have thought so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enpekt Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 Thanks for the reassurance! Another source has suggested there shouldn't be a problem, so the next broody we have will be given eggs to sit on. Like everything, there's two chances. They'll either not hatch or be boys!!! LOL!

WitchHazel Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I don't know the answer to your question.. I;m just posting to say that you could probably email the pharmaceutical company that supplies the antibiotic to ask them. Some of them have specific departments for specific species. I've only had to email one once, and they were very quick to respond. Good luck H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
