I did do a Google search after I made this post last night.
Seems the USDA or some other alphabet agency deems that chicken "tissue" so treated should not be consumed for 14 days after treatment. Well....I am sure they are referring to the meat....but since the egg/ova is connected to the chicken"s system and absorbing the medicine.....I"d think the time frame would apply to eggs as well. I am not going to sacrifice 2 weeks of egg production.
My hens don"t appear unhealthy and are laying fine...I have 17 and am getting 12-14 eggs a day....even during the winter. That"s about as good as it gets.
As for ONLY killing roundworms.......they seem to be the most common worm a chicken contracts anyway, according to the information I read.
And for what it is worth.......the amount of medicine present in the flesh of a chicken after 14 days amounted to 13,000 (thirteen thousand) times less than what the USDA deems harmful to humans.
