Hi All! I have a question for the group. We recently (about 1 month ago), had one of our hens attacked. We took her to the vet, got her antibiotics and have been nursing her back to health in our garage in an old do crate. Over the last week or so, she is doing much better and we've been putting her in our garden to get some daylight. We haven't brought her back to the run because she still has an exposed wound and the others were WAY to curious about it!
Long story short, I found her behind one of my plants and she was in the middle of laying an egg. That said, when she got up, there were 5 eggs!! Provided she has laid one every day this week, my question is whether they are safe to eat. It's been fairly cool (50/60 degrees) and no signs of disturbance to the eggs. Its just with them being outside for almost a week, I'd rather play it safe but thought I'd ask. She has also been off of the antibiotics for about 2 weeks now and eating and drinking normally so I don't have too much issue with that but thought I'd ask anyways in case you guys know if I should be cautious with that too. She's also layed only 2 in the crate, one right after and one about a week ago.
Thanks!
