First Egg Question...

[cozycrestmom]

Stupid I am sure,,, but when do you start eating the eggs.. ? I thought I read somewhere that you shouldn't eat the first few eggs.. Is that correct..?

I believe the only time you shouldn't eat them is if the hens are medicated or wormed

Otherwise, chow down!!

The first egg taste's the best! Eat it! (unless you are worming them)

The 1st eggs are the best and most expensive, so you should eat them. P.S congrats

Are you feeding them medicated crumble? That's probably why you've heard that. There's a medication in medicated feed (amprollium?) that can get into the eggs. If you do have them on medicated feed, stop and switch to layer now. I don't think an egg or two would hurt you though. Best to do a search on it to make sure.

If they are on medicated chick starter, I've read you should not eat them if you are allergic to sulfa drugs. (if I remember correctly)
