Should I eat these eggs?

[GA Sweets]

Hello out there,

One of my Leghorns was sick a couple months ago, before she was old enough to lay eggs. She was near death, but I was able to nurse her back to health, despite never actually diagnosing what was wrong with her. She is now laying eggs, but I'm not sure if they're safe to eat. Is there a need for concern, since she is pretty much back to normal, or should I throw these eggs out since we aren't certain what made her so sick?

I myself wouldn't worry about. But that's up to you! I personally don't think it would harm you. Sickness isn't going to be passed to eggs.

I'd not worry about it. Just be thankful that she recovered. You're gonna be cooking them, anyways, yes?

Yes, they will be either cooked or boiled. So there's nothing to worry about, as long as she recovered?

That would be my response if she were in my flock.

Thank you both for your replies. I really appreciate your guidance!

Did you treat with any medications?
What were her symptoms?
