Testing eggs for lead

[HenriettaGoose]

Has anyone tested their eggs for lead? Also, does anyone know what the safe amount of lead in an egg considered to be? I know some store brought eggs can contain a small amount of lead but I read backyard chickens tend to have more. I got my eggs tested and they came back with 0.013ppm of lead and I’m not sure whether or not the eggs are safe to eat anymore. We tested because we live in an older home and they’ve pecked at our garage that has lead paint.

I would love to know where/ how you got your eggs tested. Was it expensive? I definitely want to look into getting ours tested as we eat a lot of eggs daily.
