If the eggs are going to hatch soon, I'd hold off using anything until chicks are placed in a brooder.
Not due to hatch for another two weeks or so.

How do you know you need to deworm your birds??
we have fairly moist conditions, especially in spring. Northeast mass.
I live in northeast Florida. We get alot of rain and our soil is warm most of the year. I worm my birds once every 3 months at a minimum, sometimes sooner. I mainly use valbazen and safeguard liquid goat wormer, and have used pyrantel pamoate and wazine infrequently. If my birds get tapeworms, I use zimectrin gold.
It's best to worm birds just prior to spring time egg production. You dont want to be tossing eggs in the garbage due to wormer withdrawal periods.
If your birds are penned and not free ranged, consider worming them every 4-5 months, otherwise start out at twice a year, then go from there.
You might want to find and active thread here and ask:Anyone in Massachusetts or New Hampshire worm their chickens as well. would like an opinion of someone in similar conditions as well.
