HELP! My hens are dying

So every time you worm you go without eggs from your whole flock? What do you do with those eggs?

Oh ya, what about hatching? Will a broody be able to hatch those?

I was just tossing out the eggs. And a broody should be okay with hatching. They have a withdraw just bc humans could be allergic to what's in the wormer or possibly get sick. I just don't take that chance and throw out the eggs.

So would you put those in the bator and hatch them? That might be a nice alternative to tossing them.

What about feeding them out to other animals? Say even to the flock since they already have it in them? Or the dogs?

Thanks for the 411.

I don't see why you couldn't incubate them. But now that I'm thinking about it....I'm wondering if they would still be fertile? May have to look into that....
If you use the safeguard then it would be okay to feed the eggs to other livestock since it's just a basic worm medication.
