    I was out with my girls this afternoon when one of the pooped and a roundworm came out. It was about three inches long. She is one of our really good laying hens. Do the worm affect the eggs and how can I get rid of them! So grossed out right now!:tongue

    I See that you said after the last dose discard the eggs for 14 days. How many doses do they need?
