Feeding boiled eggs to dewormed chickens

Is there anything wrong with boiling the eggs I've picked up for 7 days straight after treating my hens with Wazine 17 and feeding them to the same hens?

Wazine's active ingredient is piperazine, which, seems to be very temperature-stable, according to five minute's worth of googling. Basically, boiling doesn't break it down. So you're re-worming the chickens, but not at a high concentration. Essentially, you're extending your withdrawal time, and might be increasing the roundworms' resistance to worming (since any that hatch after the worming are receiving it at a low dosage, and only the weak will die, leaving the strong to breed).

I wouldn't, personally. I might just straight-out eat the eggs myself (I'm pretty sure I don't have roundworms in my gut, so breeding for resistance isn't a problem) but I wouldn't feed them back to the hens.

Thats what I figured!
