Round worms I have only 5 hens how much Wazine 17 should I use?

Why is it that it's recommended to throw eggs away?

There is residue from the wormer in the eggs. Eggs should not be fed back to chickens as the residue will help build worm resistance to the wormer the next time it's used possibly making the wormer ineffective or requiring a higher dosing. It may also extend the withdrawal period. This is also true for antibiotics.
Also it's possible that a person may be sensitive to the residue and may have an adverse reaction.

Instead of throwing eggs away... Can I incubate them to hatch?

I have been using the DE and the Bragg's Organic vinegar in their layer crumbles for months, they like it, but I just saw a bunch of what looked like round worms in poop on top of the nesting boxes roof. I used a canister of the Rooster Booster, have no way of knowing which chickens ate that wormer or who didn't get any, I have 15 chickens in one area all eating the food and drinking the water. So, after 2 days in a row of seeing wormy poop, I just bought a bottle of Wazine 17, but the directions are very poor. It doesn't say how many days to put it in the water and it doesn't say anything about throwing away the eggs. Does anyone know for sure?
