Advice on colloidal silver please

[lolly2012]

Hello two of my 8 chickens are poorly and I have sought advice and ordered some Colloidal silver I have been told to put with the water so all of my girls are treated. Three seem to have a cold One is very quiet she is drinking but I haven't seen her eat for a couple of days, The other two each have one swollen eye an are a bit spluttery ( sound a little wet ) I am hoping it arrives today I want to get my girls back in good health and want to protect the others that are not yet sick.

My question is do I need to withdraw from eating the eggs whilst they are being treated Most of them are still laying as normal but I need to be sure If I can eat the eggs or not.
I am new to all this and sadly am having to learn about illness a little sooner than I had hoped.

I believe the sickness came in with the four new girls I got just over a week ago but although they seem to be on the up my original girls are now the ones that are affected.

Thanks In advance for you advice

If its just colloidal silver I would use the eggs. I use colloidal silver on me and kids.
I can't give advice on the sick chicks except to say I would go with an antibiotic(still to new to know which kinds though).

i would try an antibiotic also and don't eat the eggs for a few weeks
