HELP!!!! Long White Worm In Egg?

[Mamma_Duck04]

Baymule- pretty much is a fecal test. As others have stated though, you could do repeated tests to be sure they don't have them and/or take samples from multiple chickens (as they might not be passing the eggs at that time).

Good question!
All of my birds look perfectly healthy and normal. I would have never guessed that they had worms or any health problems. When my wife said what she had found and then showed it to me I was shocked to say the least. Guess it just goes to show that even though they seem to be healthy on the outside we never know for sure what's happening on the inside. Therefore hope all who read this learn with me that we always need to worm and treat for parasites even when we don't see any signs of them. Make a schedule and stick to it!

Ok, now that I have put Wazine in their water and have to discard the eggs, what do I do with all these eggs? Can I feed them back to the chickens? Or should I just toss them in the garbage?

You never saw any worms in their poop? I check my girls' poop everyday with hopes I will see it in the poop before I see it in an egg....

If you feed the eggs back to the chickens, they'll just recycle the chemicals into the new eggs. Best just to toss them. I know, what a waste.

That's what I thought but just wanted to make sure.

So now what happens?

I always wondered what I would do with the dead worms being expelled.

We had to worm a kitten once, I thought I had it all picked up but next morning there were at least 5 more handfuls of drying up dead worms on the floor of her crate.

So, I'm wondering, now what? Would one need to manage the masses of dying worms? Or remove all their litter first and vacuum their coop? Or, what

Most likely you wont see roundworms excreted from chickens, maybe a few after worming. They are mostly absorbed as protein in the chickens digestive system.​
