Using Miconazole for Favus, Can we still eat her eggs?

[Ciscobob]

We have 3 hens, 1 of them seems like she has Favus, the white on the back of her comb. She seems like she feels great, and she is currently the only girl laying eggs. Can we eat her eggs while giving her Moconazole?

Thanks

Can you post a picture? Lotrimin and tinactin are recommended by many on this forum to treat favus. Favus is contagious, so be sure to wear gloves when handling your chicken. Here is an excellent picture (# 3) for identifying favus: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...wattles-overtaken-by-white-growth-please-help

Hi, I'm asking this question too. I just want to know if the eggs are safe to eat while being treated with Miconazole. Thanks ahead of time!
