Jerrys Chucks Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Hi can anyone one tell me if freshly laid chicken eggs should not be given to children under the age of 5 years, due to the threat of sam and elle ( can't spell the proper name ). Somebody told me this the other day and i rubbished it, but i thought i would put the question out there. My 4yr and 2yr olds are still fine after having them for 3 weeks so far.Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I would say thats a load of tosh Most (but not all0 laying hybrid hens are vaccinated against Salmonella anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollie333 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 My neice, 10 months old, enjoys scrambled eggs. Sometimes fresh daily, no longer than a week old, she has no problems. It's a load of rubbish. Like Cinnamon said, most hens are vaccinated against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
