I am new at raising laying hens. I have 12. I am hearing sneezing in the barn stall where i keep them. I have put viatimins in their water, I was still concerned so the feed store sold me some terrimicine powder. I put this in their water. Can I still eat the eggs or will I get sick? I also raise babydoll sheep. I keep them in the same barn ( different stalls) same pasture. We have a great time watching them all.
can I eat eggs from my hens when I am giving antibiotics?
copy and paste ::::::
This broad-spectrum antibiotic is a shot-gun approach to the problems that can occur during the growing period. Colds, chronic respiratory disease, air sac infection, fowl cholera, and other diseases can be helped if treated early. Terramycin can be used on poultry if they are not laying yet. Dosage 1 tsp. per gallon for maintenance 2 tsp. per gallon for treatment.
( DO NOT ADMINISTER TO CHICKENS OR TURKEYS PRODUCING EGGS FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION)
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Most ppl wait 1-2 wks after stopping antibiotics before eating the eggs again. It is typically recommended to toss eggs while medicating with antibiotics.
Good luck with the flock.

Thank you for your info. Maybe I was a little too hasty in treating my birds. I picked them all up yesterday and they all seem to be healthy. No mites or grossness on them anywhere.
