Worms in egg

[gritsar]

I have to ask this question because I'm very curious at this point. Did you compare the "worms" in your eggs to pics of eggs with actual worms, like on this site:

I am not doubting you, just wondering if you could have mistaken the chalazae (two white "strings" that anchor the yolk) for worms? As you've already noted, worms in eggs are rare.

You can do a search here on BYC, using "wazine" as your keyword. I think most people discard their eggs for 2 weeks after using wazine, but you should check to be sure.

Ok, I've always wondered about this, can you incubate those eggs instead of tossing them?

Whenever I have worm problems with any of my critters I go to my vet and have them suggest the appropriate medication for the infestation and a treatment plan to prevent reinfestation. One treatment won't do it, as roundworm eggs will be found in your soil and will be reingested by the treated birds. At least two treatments are generally needed.
