Luvachicken Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Because Lucie has been on antibiotics, it means we can't eat the eggs. Normally, if I'm around I might spot who layed the egg, but today I was out and 3 eggs were layed. Yesterday and the day before the babies didn't lay any eggs so I was quite pleased I wouldn't have to waste them. Only 3 weeks to go til we can eat them - but at least we can still have Myrtle and Melody's eggs cos they are separate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Oh that is annoying. At least you do have some eggs that you can eat. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs_B Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I sympathise - my girls were on antibiotics for a few weeks last year and I really disliked throwing their eggs away, it seemed like such a waste after they went to the effort to lay each one I hate it when I break one by accident so it wasn't nice purposefully throwing them out. But it makes eating the ones in the future a bit special and you'll look forward to them Good job you have some eggs though - I almost bought some from the supermarket at one point during those weeks x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

good_egg Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Hmmm... Just realised Connie has been on antibiotics for 9 days now and there was no mention of not eating her eggs!! Awkward! Guess its a bit late now! She lays blue eggs so would have been able to tell as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 It's so unfair isn't it Goodegg. The vet should have told you how long the egg withdrawal should be. Mine were on Baytril and the withdrawal period is 3 weeks after the last dose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 On the rare occasion when my girls have needed antibiotics I always ask for Tylan as there is no egg withdrawal on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
