Marek Disease

[undertheoaks]

We have had a couple of hens that have died from Mareks disease - we believe. Is it safe
to eat the eggs from the other hens in the flock?

Absolutely...unless their on some sort of medicine? Mareks isnt spread through the eggs nor is it a zoonic disease ( human to animal transmission)
