Safe to eat eggs from sick hen?

[annmarie]

I have a hen who has been rapidly "going downhill" in the past couple of weeks. I really can't figure out what is wrong with her (I posted about her issues last night). What I'm wondering is, is it safe to still be using her eggs, or should I be discarding them? I'm not sure if there are any diseases that can be passed through an egg to a human. I'll add that I'm pregnant so I've been avoiding them in the past week or so (just because the thought crossed my mind and I started getting paranoid!), but if there's any chance they could pose a health risk, I'll be sure to get rid of them completely. Thanks!
