Granny's gone and done it again

[Nomadicus]

well that sucks. Can you eat the ones in the fridge?

Using Ivermectin so may eat them and dose for Covid.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

Yes. They haven't been wormed yet. Thinking Saturday if we can get extra help.

Its very rare for worms to get inside an egg so Ive been told

 

[Nomadicus]

I might incubate the CCL eggs. They are large enough to hatch OK and the Young Roo in the coop with 8 older pullets is doing his job. I don't think the wormer would keep them from hatching. CCL pullets right now are going for about $14 each plus shipping.

Not shabby. You ship chicks?

Never have. If I build 3 new really nice coops with totally covered runs to keep songbirds out and then get NPIP certified I might.

 

[Nomadicus]

I'd rather ship eggs.

I'd rather ship eggs.

Don't blame you there

 

[Granny Hatchet]

I need to get up again and get some blood flow to my feet. They have been hurting me all day

It's not the worms you have to worry about, I don't think, it's the wormer. You don't want to eat eggs that may be contaminated with wormer, and I think it takes 14 days for the chickens' bodies to completely metabolize it and get it out of their systems.

they need to be treated twice right?
