Is There Egg Withdrawal for Liquid Safeguard?

[GlicksChicks]

Hello, my chickens have roundworms and I am planning on starting deworming tonight when they are all roosting.

Do I have to withdraw eggs after/during deworming them? If so, how long should I withdraw the eggs for. Can I feed them to the chickens during that time?

Please help me, I am finding conflicting answers on the internet.

There isn't a lot of research on withdrawal periods for chicken eggs, so a lot of people will err on the side of caution and toss the eggs for 2-4 weeks after treatment. However, many people still eat the eggs and are fine with it.

Here is a link to some good info, written by a chicken vet, on worms, worming and on the safety of eating eggs after worming chickens:

This is the specific excerpt that talks about withdrawal recommendations

Thank you! I think I will still eat the eggs. I still ate them when using the Safeguard pellets, so I'd assume the liquid isn't a problem.

We have eaten the eggs for years after using Safeguard or Valbazen, and I worm my birds monthly. Still here typing.

Good to hear! I like hearing from people who have experienced using the dewormers so I know that it is more reliable!

See, I'm still normal.

The worst that would happen is the wormer would work on the person eating it... but the dose a chicken gets, and what could possibly end up in an egg, compared to the dose needed for a human...

Reviews on the one I bought had people saying they used it on themselves as well- even though the bottle says not to.
