Should de- worm???

How about 1 day withdrawal period with flubenvet? It wont kill tapeworms though. I doubt your birds have tapes, you'd easily see the segments in the feces.

I was wondering the same thing about de worming as a preventative...if my chickens did have worms and I didnt know it, their eggs couldnt make us sick could it?

A little extra meat in your egg wouldnt hurt, would it?

So just what is this? What kind of worm...common occurrence...or just a little shock and awe?

Those are large roundworms in the pics, not a common occurance in eggs but it has happened to a couple of BYC members. Large roundworms can grow up to 6" in length. Then there are the small tiny worms that you cant see that do the most damage internally to a chicken...capillary worms. Of course you didnt know that, did you aart? Well, now you know.
