strange bloody chicken poop

[LI chickie]

Could I scramble the eggs and feed it back to the chickens 2 or 3 times in the 2 week period?

That's a really good question rather than wasting the eggs did you ever find out that answer?
This morning I saw a slight tinge of blood in 1 poop I'm hoping that will be it otherwise I'll have to treat my chicks, they are about 20 weeks old and just started laying a couple of weeks ago.

No, never got an answer but I ended up doing it instead of wasting them. Wormed the flock a second time 2 weeks after the initial worming and feed those eggs back to the flock too. It was a while ago now but I don't think we were getting many eggs, maybe only 8-10 a week.
My hubby's logic was humans shouldn't eat the eggs because we could become immune to the drug if we ever need it and therefore it couldn't hurt the chickens to 'top them up' by feeding them the affected eggs.

There's wormer residue in the eggs, however slight, it can cause worm resistance when the wormer is used next time. It's best to toss the eggs in the garbage....a small sacrifice to pay for healthy hens.
In your case, I would give them corid to treat cocci. The Corid 9.6% liquid solution dosage is 9.5cc's per gallon of water for 5 days. Make it fresh daily and must be their sole source of water to drink. Dont add anything into it. It'll be in the cattle section at your feed store. There's no egg withdrawal after using corid.

With most wormers, there's a 14 day withdrawal period. You'll never find it writing anywhere, that's because manufacturers wont spend the money testing for residue in eggs for flocks owners. They say their product is not to be used for hens producing eggs, or something to that effect. Sometimes they will state a slaughter withdrawal period, but no egg withdrawal period. The only wormers that I know of that dont have egg withdrawal periods are Rooster Booster Triple wormer, Durvet Strike lll, and Flubenvet. The latter cant be obtained in this country. However they may have slaughter withdrawal periods. Eating eggs after using a wormer can be risky for humans if they have a sensitivity to the residue.
Additionally, most wormers for chickens are off label, meant to be used in other livestock. Even calling the manufacturer about using their product in poultry, they'll simply say that it's intended use is not for poultry...also for liability reasons.
It's a personal choice whether to eat the eggs or not.
