If they were my eggs I would eat them. Iodine and limestone I think should not be dangerous.
Maybe the girls that didn't get bitten by the mosquitos were safe.
My girl is the only one with that fowl pox on her. None of the others looked like her. Actually, I was thinking I was really really lucky not
having any of my girls get the pox. AND WAMMO the pox but only on the big girl. And my thinking is that we had a very hot day and I dunked some of them in water, and the girl with the pox was very wet and maybe the mosquitos got to her skin easier.
Last year I some girls with small black spots on their combs but that was it. Nothing like this girl. So I think they had a lighter version of the pox.
How much Iodine do you put in the water ? and is it the betadine ? Do you use the iodine for anyother use with them?
Thank you.

iodine and limestone are safe, I don't know if pox gets into the eggs.
believe me mosquitoes don't need water to bite. I spend half of my day chasing and killing them and they bite me although I don't sweat. chickens are hot and that is what mosquitoes like.
I use 2% iodine solution, I don't remember if betadine has anything else beyond iodine. I bought this iodine at the chemist, it is a small bottle with a dropper so it makes my life easier. I don't put a lot, just a few drops in a big container, might be about a gallon or even more.
I have been advised by an old person to put 1 drop of iodine under the chicken's tongue whenever it looks sick, so I do. but I put iodine directly on the white spots this time.
