XRAYs and Eggs?

[Crisa]

My hen's leg was broken after being stepped on by a horse so I got it Xrayed and set. I was wondering if the aspirin and radiation would make her eggs not edible any longer? Should I wait after a few eggs to consume them?

Poor mama!!

I imagine the eggs will be okay.

Give it a couple days with the eggs. But she should be laying again in no time.

Okay. Yes she hasn't laid for a few days now so I'm wondering if the stress and pain has affected her laying. Will not laying hurt her? It's the first time I've had this kind of problem

 

[ChickenTDuck1234321]

It depends. There is no written rule for this kind of stuff. It's a waiting game; hope for the best
Stress can decrease lay; radiographs should not. I have radiographed my fair share of birds that laid later that day.

Good to know, thank you very much!
