I believe that she cuts 2 rings of the stretchy coil and then wraps it around a chick's leg.

Very little info available, but I did find one hatcher's experience: Severely handicapped chicks and those that did survive to hatch died shortly after.
A friend of mine incubated the eggs he got from my hens after I dewormed them, in spite of my warning him NOT to. He was going to "feed the eggs to the pig". He came back 3 weeks later demanding I give him more eggs to hatch. He refused to tell me what happened, but judging by his reaction it was bad. So, my advice to people is: DON'T incubate eggs from hens after deworming them. Unless I can find prove that certain dewormers will not have an adverse effect, I'm going to eat the eggs instead.
