Is chicken eggs eatable after Suprelorin Implant wears off?

My Isa Brown hen had her 1st Suprelorin Implants at 3 years of age. It wore off after 5 months, she was back laying massive 6 eggs a week.

August 2024 She got 2nd Suprelorin Implants, today being October 2024 she is back laying egg again. The Suprelorin Implants effectiveness has worn off after 2 months.

My hen is now almost 4 years of age.

The Suprelorin Implants is no longer effective on her.

I am thinking that if she is only lay 4 eggs or less a week, then it is not excessive and this might save her from reproductive issues.

I am not sure what other option available to stop her egg laying. I can only hope that being almost 4 years of age, she might slow down on egg production.

I don’t want to feed her eggs as I found that the more protein she has the larger are her eggs.

My question is that can I eat those eggs that she is laying now? Are there eggs holding off period?

Thank you.

This is an older thread asking the same thing. See post #3.

I would ask the vet about the eggs, and ask why the hormone implant didn’t last as long. I thought they were supposed to last at least 4-6 months.

I will ask our VET. At the end of the day, if for untreatable reason/s that the implant does not last longer than 2 months I will give her another implant.

I'm not sure, I'd consult a VET tbh. Also, I think you're looking for the word edible. Such a weird word!

Thank you. I will remember the word edible now that you have pointed out to me, embarrassment will get improvement on my spelling . My VET does not know as she is not a Avian vet and is providing this injection is due to demand from her clients. She orders the medication in and provides the injection.
