Pig Swigg for chickens

[tboneranch]

I saw something at the feed store the other day called Pig Swigg and it claims to be a wormer for chickens and pigs. Can I still eat the eggs of my layers while they are being treated? If not how long should I wait? I don't have any signs of worms, but I have about 75 layers and have had chickens for 4 years and have never wormed anyone. I had an older hen die today and it got me thinking I should probably worm them just to be sure. Does anyone have any experience with this stuff? Does it work well?

Pig swig has piperazine in it. As with wazine, it is the same thing. There is a 14 day withdrawal period for slaughter. If the chicken is good to eat after the 14th day, so are the eggs.
