Edible eggs?

Don't feed that to your girls. If you really want to worm them without chemicals, use Pumpkin, especially the seeds. I don't personally believe in homeopathic worming, I would use Safegard for sheep, there's dosing on this forum. Don't worm unless you know you have worms. 2 weeks of tossing eggs away is the norm.

I use DE sprinkled in my coop to keep parasites away. My girls never eat it. I use it occasionally.

It’s been shown to cause respiratory problems, so I won’t use it. I haven’t seen the studies personally, and all sorts of information without research citations is published online. But reputable people have said it’s problematic, so I steer clear.

So since I already gave a dose to my chickens from what the guy at tsc told me can I eat their eggs and should I stop giving it to them all together? Will they get hurt from what I gave them? Especially my 2 month old? I gave my hens 4 cups of feed to 1/4 cup of the powder and halved it for my younger one who only ate 1/3 of it.

Thank you I am usually all about the natural treatments for my chickens but I just panicked this time. Thank you for the tips

So is ok to keep giving to my chickens once in a while?

There's is absolutely no reason to put that in your chickens feed.
