De-worming and mite questions!

[Chick1043]

Hi! I need to de worm my birds! I don't know if they have worms or not..What are the signs? Is it okay to de-worm them if they don't have worms? How and what do I get to deworm them?

I just dusted my chickens so how long until I can eat their eggs again, or can I still? Will the dusting powder really harm your skin?

If you have any tips on these two subjects let me know! It will be appreciated!!! Thanks!!

Chickens are going to have some worms if they eat off the soil or eat bugs. It's a matter of how bad the load is. I've never heard of tossing eggs after dusting them.
