Deworming and hatching?

[cherrynberry]

Like throwing the eggs in a compost pile? If you're composting it down, it should break down over time along with the egg. I wouldn't be concerned about residues from that.

Okay then it is going to the plants! Thank you!

Yes it's because of the drug residues in the eggs. Some have been tested for residue and withdrawal times established. Others have not had enough testing.

If you do it.. keep track and report results!

I only worm my birds IF there is cause for concern and USUALLY verified.. either via fecal float or visual confirmation of roundworms in droppings.

I personally would more likely to feed the eggs back to the animals than tossing or hatching. Otherwise, I might compost them. Or wait until molt and once it's wrapped up treat before laying returns. In 10 years with my soil type, stock density, wildlife load, etc.. I've not YET needed to worm my poultry. So I cannot offer anything other than technical written information. Sometimes I find that personal experience is MORE valid, not that the tech isn't but it's written to meet IDEAL conditions with too much information.. almost fear mongering to a degree. Experimenting is thinking outside the box.. knowing there may be undesirable outcomes.. BUT there MAY be decent ones as well!

I have HEARD of one person who hatches their eggs during worming but not sure WHICH med they were using OR their result. Maybe you can search for some more threads.. I found one with good discussion.. Always use YOUR best judgement, NO matter what someone posts!

Happy hatching if you try.

Probably won't try...don't want to wait 21 days and find myself in dissapointment or sadness

I dewormed my chickens a few days ago. They layed some eggs, and because I cannot eat them, is it okay if I incubate them? Will there be harm?

Does anyone know why you cannot eat the eggs? Is it because of chemicals?

What did you use to deworm them?

@EggSighted4Life makes a very good point! All advice will come from our own personal experiences, research, or what we've been taught by others and you will always be able to find the exception to the rule. I personally am really big on pushing what would generally be considered acceptable, I will incubate oddly shaped eggs, repaired eggs with cracks, or eggs that are otherwise typically seen as undesirable eggs. We all choose where we draw the line with experimenting I suppose!
I didn't even think about feeding them back to the hens. That would certainly work as well!
