Questions about avian pox

[happymom99]

Hello,
I am pretty confident that my girls have this. I've been reading on these forums and from what I've seen there isn't much to do other than give them electrolytes, put neosporin or betadine on the lesions and wait it out. This is my first flock of chickens and I have some questions:

*Are the eggs safe to eat?

*How do you give chickens electrolytes? How much? How often?

*How long will it last?

Thank you.

You really dont need to do anything. The viral disease will pass in about a month. Eggs are safe to eat.
