HI GUYS

one of my hens may have worms

is it safe to eat the eggs?

since this stuff is highly contageous to humanS?

I personally would not eat the eggs. You probably wouldn't die but, why take the chance?
Are you giving the chicken antibiotics?

Best of luck

OP - You should be fine eating the eggs. You need to get them wormed though as it will affect the overall health of your birds and can spread to the others.

Yeah? Antibiotics are useless for anything that is not a bacteria.

If the bird has worms, you can eat the eggs, but if you are treating the bird with drugs to kill the worms, then you don't want to eat the eggs, largely in case you are allergic to the wormer.
