    How to identify sick hen's egg!

    You cant feed her anything to make her eggs a dif color. Cant you just cook up the eggs for a pet perhaps? I hope all goes well and she feels better. Also others know more than I- i thought certain meds meant you couldnt EVER eat her eggs. Make sure you know which medication it is.
