Hi, I'm hoping someone can help!
I've had chickens for a couple of years and this is the first time I saw a worm in one of the eggs. I just found out that my husband also saw one of these a week ago. This particular egg had a softer shell and lighter colored.
Recently my chickens have started shaking their heads and laying less. It looks like they are missing feathers now too. I treated them with safeguard (fenbendazole) in June and about a week ago I sprayed the coop with permethrin (followed according to label).
Thanks in advance!
