I have just treated some Marans that I recently acquired with Eprinex. This weekend I kick the Roos out that came with these hens, and will prepare for adding my chosen Roo. Question: If there is no withdrawal for Eprinex (apparently) is there a time that I would want to wait to let the eggs sit?.. I know the washout time between roosters should be three weeks?...but given i have treated with Eprinex; should I be concerned about birth defects?..or a poor hatch... plan on using a broody...which i love

It doesn't cause any issues I know of as far as birth defects, etc. I did find that after treating with Eprinex last year I had low fertility though for a couple days. So not sure if it was because the birds were reacting to the meds, or if they were just not happy they were handled?

I always treat my birds as they are being put into their breeding pairs and trio's and have never had any problems.

I collected eggs and did a hatch last year right after treating with Eprinex, hatched 21/22 eggs and no problems.
