worms in my eggs this morning

[dawg53]

This is a chicken egg that we found a "Roundworm" in. Readings say that it is common, but its only common when there is a large amount of worms.

Welcome to BYC. Great pics! Now everyone will know why it's important to worm their birds (as well as other reasons)...unless they want extra meat with their breakfast.

Yes!

I worm pullets at 18 weeks old to make sure worms do not harm their reproductive tract. That can mess up their ability to lay eggs.

So are worms in an egg usually very easy to see? I'm wondering if there are ever hidden worms, say in the yolk, you wouldn't really know are there?

Usually not, worms in the eggs are rare
