I have worms in my Eggs? Help!!!!!

dawg..yep, my big blue girl was fine the next day, and still doing well. I have been giving them ~ gasp ~ store bought eggs with yogurt in it. I know that you have mentioned the buttermilk, but I honestly don't know if they would drink it. I know I wouldn't, and my DH wouldn't, so wouldn't. :D
First time I've had to buy eggs in years. Oh, my girls eggs are soo much better. On the 25th, will start eating them again.
 
You can also put beach sand in it will asorb the water real quick. Dont use sand box sand cause of the silican.
 
go to Lowes you can get a 1000 pounds of rock or pebble for 30-50 bucks or even sand. I would do what others have said about the worms.
 
I was reading other posts about this on here and I recently found a large roundworm, about 3 or 4 inches long in one of my chickens droppings. A couple of days later I found another one. So far only 2 in over a year that I have had chickens. I have a large group. If I found just a couple large size worms, is this when I should worry about deworming? I read that they can naturally get rid of them, but I am really worried about finding worms in eggs. Is this when I should be concerned?
 
Whether your floor is dry or not doesn't have much bearing on if your birds have worms or not. Worms can still travel on either dry or wet ground. And grit doesn't have anything to do with parasites, only the processing of food.
I would suggest using Lyme to absorb, or using a straw base that you can change out every week. Ideally you don't want a clay floor, for that very reason. I might suggest to try a dig or drill a drainage hole or trench, not big enough for something to get it to hurt the birds but just to help get the water flowing out of the clay.
Also a good de-wormer will help. That is generally why worms end up in the eggs is because there is an infestation in your bird that has gotten out of hand. Feeding diatom. earth will help maintain the population after a good worming. You can use a chemical de-wormer or you can use ACV, pepper, or garlic in their water and feed for two weeks straight.
