Lyme disease

[Barn Maid Ann]

Do chickens get Lyme disease from tick bites? Or any of the other tick born diseases?
I have never heard of it, but someone asked me and I didn't know. They were concerned about it being passed through the eggs, in particular.
TIA

I don't think it effects a chicken. Your post had me wondering so I looked it up. Here is a post from BYC, I hope it helps!
