Can I eat the egg?

[megannicole90]

I have a hen, she recovered from an unknown illness, and about 1 and half months after recovery started laying. Is there any illness that would stop me or my child from eating her eggs because she was previously ill?

If hen is back to laying egg, things seem to be back to normal. I would not hesitate eating such eggs.
Cover some of hens' symptoms of her illness,(that she went thru) and lets see what others suggest.
Many chicken illnesses are linked to respiratory issues, and some don't make it thru.
If hen did overcome such, and was able to shake it,, I think hen is back to HEALTHY.

I cannot come up with any disease that could be transmitted to humans through the eggs.

Did you give her any medicine? If so, what? Some medicines have withdrawal periods where you are not supposed to eat the eggs (or meat) for that withdrawal period. 1-1/2 months is a long time and should be well past any withdrawal period but I don't like to work on "should". Withdrawal period is the only question I would have. What was the medicine?

she was on electrolytes and vitamins, some herbs, and food combinations. None of which had a withdrawal period.

I did ask questions on here about the illness and I gave her some vitamin recommendations from members, electrolytes and food and it took several weeks, but she is being a chicken now.
