Frontline is not really the best for use with poultry so i would suggest you read this link on external parasites:

Here should give you all the information on egg withdrawal etc.

We have a piece in the poultry info on external parasites and in there it says that frontline does not enter the bloodstream so eggs should be ok Here's a link to it.
He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.
