Can you eat a chicken that had Coryza?

[dutchbunny83]

I know this is probably a crazy question, as common sense would tell me no, but I've searched this site and google and I haven't come across an answer (maybe I'm the only one who would think this was plausible...)

I think I have to cull some chickens that I think had coryza.
I have too many birds and can't give them away since they were sick.
I'm not one for wasting anything, and I hate to cull a bird that still has life and potential egg laying left for no real reason.

Thoughts on this?

IMO if it is truly Infectious Coryza and they don't have any secondary infections then yes. There is no known human health risk.
The bacteria that causes it doesn't live long in the environment.
Sometimes it's accompanied by CRD, cholera, pox or bronchitis.
