My 7 hens got the fowl pox. My question is if it is safe to eat the eggs while they are contaminated with the disease?

Well, we did and we've all survived. The only info I could find said the egg production might drop off while the chickens were 'sick' but ours didn't and we kept eating....Hope this helps you :)
