We have a hen that got severe frostbite on her feet this winter. Her one foot is mostly okay and the other is mostly dead. We thought she was infected and we never thought she would lay (they didn't lay at all lat year) but we started getting 2 eggs some days (we have 2 laying hens now). My question is would you eat the eggs? We have been throwing them away because we thought she might have an infection in her feet. But they are looking better and she seems to be doing better.
 
If she's not infected and you haven't been giving any medications they should be fine.
When in doubt, break it open in a separate dish and give it a good look and sniff.
If medications have been given, follow the withdrawal protocol for that particular medication.
