i have been given loads of eggs from a friend of my parent's and will probably continue to receive them. As these lovely lovely eggs are not "commercial" I am not sure whether the hens would have been vaccinated against salmonella.

i have no problrm eating the eggs as I have done for years but
I don't want to risk it with DS (9 mo). Would boiling the eggs get rid of salmonella should there be any? K

Thanks a lot EcoLady, I would really hate to have to go and buy eggs separately just for ds.
