Fowl pox and egg production

[Trysie]

Good day
I suspects my chickens have fowl pox. Can you still eat the eggs or should you rather throw it away

Welcome to BYC!

I would eat the eggs. Production is likely to drop due to the stress. Are you supported them with extra nutrients like Rooster Booster or Poultry Nutri-drench in their feed? Are you working to control mosquitoes?

I ate the eggs when my flock had it. I don't think there are any safety concerns around it

Production has dropped a lot. I gave them some vitamins in their water in February. They eat layer mash mixed with pig grower and every now and then I give them some veggies. We are on a farm and I am in Namibia. Will get something for mosquitos tomorrow when we go to town. Wll use Fendona which is safe as we can use it indoors as well

Good news is once they get over it they can't get it again. Your plan sounds good and I wish you luck!

I have given my chickens doxy-max antibiotics. They say you cannot consume the eggs for few days. What do I now do with the eggs. Too afraid to through down drain. What else can I do to dispose the eggs
