Can you eat the eggs from a hen that has been mated with a rooster with bumble foot?

Yes. Even if an egg is fertilized, the blastodisc will not begin to develop unless the egg is under a hen or in an incubator for 48 hours. Bumblefoot is a staph infection, which is not transmissible through the sperm.
A hen lays a fertile egg if the rooster mates (treads) the pullet or hen prior to the egg being formed. If the hen is mated, she adds the sperm to the yolk prior to forming the shell around the yolk. If not, the yolk is encased in a white and shell without.
A temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit is required for the egg to begin to develop so the fact that the rooster has bumblefoot is unimportant.
Bumblefoot can be healed if the core is removed and the wound packed with antibiotic ointment (No pain reliever in the ointment! That can kill them if it ends in "-caine") The wound must then be wrapped to keep dirt out for up to a week. It should be checked and re-wrapped daily. If this is done, it can be prevented from returning, given roosts are not too high up with a hard landing- the major cause of the tiny tears that allow staph infections to occur.
