Can I eat my eggs??

[skyblues22]

I finally got my first eggs today from my girls...I have six Golden Comets at 17 weeks old, and got 4 eggs...yeppie.... But now, I am wondering are they suppose to be on any type of medication or have been given any type of shots so the eggs are safe to eat. Just worried about stuff like swine flu...Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

No shots or medication - eat up.
They are not swine, FYI.

I think you meant bird flu and there has not been 1 incident of this disease in the United States. So yes, eat up!

I have never eaten the first eggs from my chickens just because they usally have a blood spot in them, but after the first one your safe to eat away!

Yes, they are safe to eat. No difference between a pullet egg and a hen egg other than maybe size.
Blood spots and/or meat spots happen occasionally, even in older hens. Doesn't make the egg inedible. If they bother you, just scoop them out with a spoon. I just mix them in with scrambled eggs, sometimes fish them out first for fried, but we mainly eat our eggs scrambled.

Oh and by the way, you cannot get "swine flu" from swine. Only they can get it from you. The more you know!

NO! You cannot eat them! You need to parcel them up and send them to me. My girls are not laying at the moment and I am missing fresh real eggs!

Eat 'em! You'll never taste better eggs than the ones your girls lay!
