I have been told that all eggs contain some trace of salmonella....even my home eggs. I eat 6 eggs raw in the morning in my smoothy for over a year. I have never gotten sick from my chicken eggs. My chickens are free range and healthy. When I was young and growing up we never worried about...

By the way, take a container of diatomaceous earth to your friend who blessed you with her chickens. She may not know the importance to deworming her flock..... This will benefit her chickens too.

Your perception and realizing a problem is the key tool for correcting the problem. Apparently the adopted chickens were wormy. Go to our local feed store and buy diatomaceous earth and feed according to the directions on container. There are two kinds white powdery and grey color....both works...
