Chickens have worms:(

[Scbagwell04]

We noticed today that atleast 1 of our 5 hens have worms i did some research & went to the feed store to buy some dewormer. My question is, how long should I not eat their eggs? Then I also read that you should retreat once a mth to make sure the worms are gone.
Anyone else dealt with this? Really bummed to throw away their eggs

Treat then retreat 10 days later. Withdrawal time for eggs depends on the wormer. Most are about 3 weeks from last treatment.

Only piprazine is approved in the US, with a listed withdrawal period. It only kills some of the roundworms, and nothing else. Other more effective wormers are all off-label, with no listed withdrawal times. I use Ivermectin and don't eat the eggs for one week; makes me feel better. Mary
