Chicken w/ worms can i eat the eggs

[Americano Blue]

so if i have a chicken that might have worms can i still eat the eggs? Like before i deworm her

Look in the eggs. If they don't have worms or anything off-chart then they are probably ok. But, if you feel uncomfortable about it, just wait until you have wormed her.

OK

none of them look weird but i feel like i should check

Just to let you know that pumpkin seeds and diatomeceuous earth are natural wormers to try.

Oh no problem! I've loved talking to you too! It's great to know someone who shares my same belief and love of dogs. (And chickens!!

i've noticed little bumps on some of the eggs. they are usually in little groups/patches. some brush off and some won't. can i still eat those and is there something wrong with my birds??

I'm not sure what you mean by "bumps." Could you post a pic? Also, check out the link attached.

Diameotaceous earth and pumpkin seeds are not dependable wormers for chickens. If you think your chickens have worms do them and yourself a favor and use Safeguard to worm them.

There are several threads on this site of people looking for help with their dying hens, who have used "natural" methods to worm their chickens
