GROSS!! Help—are these worms in my eggs?! 😫😫😫

[MaryZoe]

Several of my eggs have these funky brownish spots in them now. Doesn’t look like blood spots. Are they worms?!

They are more than likely blood spots or meat spots... normal...

There's no worms.

Not even seeing any blood/meat spots......maybe a bit of wrinkled yolk membrane

Thanks so much. I’m treating my girls for worms and withdrawing their eggs, but I noticed these spots in some of my eggs from last week and read that the worms sometimes worms turn up in eggs. I really don’t want to see that!!

What kind of worms are you treating for.....and with what?

I’ve seen mostly evidence of round worms and I use fenbenzadole (Safeguard). I withdraw eggs for about a month to be as safe as possible.
