Can you eat eggs of chickens on acidified copper sulfate?

[RIR7jn]

We are putting a quarter teaspoon of acidified copper sulfate in our chicken's water for a fungal infection. I can't find a source or an article about whether you can still eat the eggs or if you should toss them. Can anyone answer this / have experience with this?

No need to toss the eggs. As far as I know, the eggs will be safe to eat. Here's a very interesting discussion on copper sulfate use with poultry flocks that might supply more information. https://www.homesteadingtoday.com/threads/copper-sulfate-for-poultry-pests.512630/

Thanks for the article reference. I found a few -- very few -- other threads about it. It seems that since it is a nutritional supplement, it would be safe, but I was hoping to find something definitive.

Yes.

Copper Sulfate is an ingredient in many chicken feeds,
read the fine print on nutrient tags sewn into bottom of feed bags.
