New member from Northwest FL. I have 3 production reds that were given to me in May. I've never had chickens before and it has been fun and also leaves me wondering what was I thinking!! That was in the beginning but now they have become my new pets and I am concerned because one chicken has roundworms and don't know what to do and are the eggs good to eat?

So glad you have joined us.

IMO the eggs are fine - it is not common for the worms to get inside the eggs, but do cook them But you will need to study on how long to discard the eggs once you decide on a treatment strategy.

You have been given a link to worming advice, but you can also post the question under emergencies to get more advice -
