I've dewormed my hens and have another week of tossing eggs out. Could I hatch them if fertile?

And that's my question. I have a rooster, and as I've been throwing out these beautiful eggs, I wondered if any were fertile . . . and if I could hatch any that are. Do I run the risk of 'birth defects?'

Which dewormer did you use?

I wouldn't chance it. Wait till the waiting period is over.

Peafowl breeders, myself included, use it during breeding season and we haven't seen any birth defects.
