There must be, because you can deworm people.

But the same chemicals that deworm people may not deworm chickens effectively...studies haven't been done so again - why chance it?

Oh, no, I didn't mean chicken dewormers - I meant dewormers in general. Sorry for the confusion!

I wonder what Martha Stewart does. She's so hoyty toyty bet no worm would dare infect her birds.

(I just like to pick on Martha cuz she was rude to DW when she went to see and her and have her booked signed.) I hear she has a special line of gloves just for collecting eggs.

Rancher, I had a friend who lived near one of her homes in CT - my friend said she was AWFUL. Rude, every time she saw her.

Eprinex can be used for worming and you don't need to discard the eggs.

This has not been approved or tested for poultry use - Eprinex is a variety of Ivermectin, so I'd still go with at least 2 weeks of discarding eggs. (JMO!)

Well, she's still pretending to be broody. Got pecked, but by another girl - one of my Ameraucana's, then she too popped off the nest. It's a revolt I tell you!
