The Official Egg Thread

To answer Redhen's question about getting sick from eggs, here is a useful link about egg safety and the possibility for salmonella (which is VERY low).

Is there somewhere we can look (or add to the OP) to determine:

When giving antibiotics or other medications to laying hens, are the eggs affected;

Which medications affect egg "edibility", which do not:

What is the time period after completing the medications that we should wait before eating the eggs from affected hens;

Which Illnesses affect egg production;

Which illnesses affect egg "edibility";

Thanks

Something I would like to see included would be an encyclopedia or something similar of weird egg issues similar to the one I personally just encountered (egg within an egg), how they occur, why the occur, etc.

It's always interesting to read about the research behind the grand misfires!
