Is it OK to worm half of your flock at a time?

Is it OK to worm half the flock one month and the other half the following month? Using valbezene. Would like to continue to have eggs. Thank you

Definitely, so long as you can tell eggs apart. I deworm my brown layers first, then my white and EEs.

Thats one of the reasons I split my coop and run in half. I had read of a wormer med that you still could eat the eggs but can't find it now.

I saved it!
"the only FDA approved wormer on the market for laying chickens used for eggs for human consumption is Hygromycin B.
