    No eggs for weeks after tapeworm treatment?

    Hi friends, My two hens, each a little over one year old, recently had to get treated for tapeworms with Zimecterin Gold after I found segments in one of their droppings. They just had their second treatment a couple of days ago, so it’s been about 2.5 weeks since they had their first dose...
