Wormer? How early do we need to start?

We'll be using a preventative wormer (e.g. Ivomec Eprinex Pour On) and I've found great info on this site about how much and how often. What I can't find is how early to start. It makes sense to me to start before they start laying so that we don't have to toss out any eggs. So, would 3-4 months be too early?

(note: I've also read a lot of great info elsewhere about "natural" worm preventatives, etc, and it seems that's a pretty hot topic. Let's leave that discussion for another thread?)
 
Try posting this in the diseases section- it might get more attention.

I would answer you if I knew!

I read elsewhere on another thread that worming at 4 months or so is okay. My hunch was that I should do it as late as possible before they start laying, and that seems about right. Thanks for those who tried to keep this post on top!
 
well even if they do start laying pullet eggs are super small anyway, so it wouldnt matter to much throwing away small eggs.
