To worm or not to worm?

I have 44 layers. They are just one year old this month. I'm curious about the worming issue. I saw a video by a woman who says that if there is 'poop' on the eggs, they have worms. Is that true? I am going to attach her video and I'd appreciate input on whether she is correct or 'out there'.
advance to about 1:19 in the video.
Oh good heavens, I wish we could get rid of that video. The egg comes out the same hole as the poop does, as it exits the body, and sometimes there's cross contamination. That's all, just like some women poop a bit when they're in labor. Nothing to do with worms at all.
 
I've been a labor and delivery nurse for thirty five years! I thought this woman was a flake! Thanks for clarifying what I was thinking! Sh*t happens....pretty near everytime!

Haha, so I happened to pick the perfect analogy! It's just frustrating when that same info gets passed around and around and it's so inaccurate.

I have one hen that poop on her eggs every blessed time. I wouldn't even really notice, except she lays a greenish egg with a faint brown wash over it. When I was the egg, I wash the brown off part of it, making the egg look pretty weird.
 
Hi all...Looks like this is the most current wormy poop thread :). I have 25 layer hens and I am also incubating their eggs. We seem to have a pretty bad worm infestation and after 2 days on the internet trying to find the best solution, my head hurts. I do not want to use Wazine..any other suggestions for treating the girls? If I use a product where I can't use the eggs for consumption for a couple of weeks, does that also mean those eggs are not good for incubation? Alos...have a read a lot of good things about Flubenvet, but it appears it is no longer available in the US...anyone know what the story is with that? Thanks for your help.
