ive just come across this below ,can anyone confirm this please?
The eggs from hens with worms will not be affected by the worms themselves as they live in the digestive system, not the reproductive system. The insides of eggs are also sterile, but make sure the eggs are washed off very well, as worm eggs may be in any chicken dung on the shell.
Obviously, a treatment should be started with the hens ASAP, and the best treatment in most cases is to feed the hens raw garlic. Not only is it effective, but the eggs will still be edible and the hens will be much healthier for it, unlike if you would use a chemical treatment. It's a good practice to feed your chickens garlic even if they are healthy
