Is a small tiny worm in an egg okay? A single one? We still buy eggs from a coworker since our chickens are not laying yet. I decided to open one after reading about worms and noticed it. It’s not a dog/cat hair or a lint particle. I had someone else look at it and confirmed it was a worm. They told me it should be okay because the heat from cooking will kill it but I dunno lol. For future reference, is this a sign to deworm or is the case of “all chickens have worms - just depends if their immune can tackle it” and is still safe to eat? My spouse wants to toss the rest of the eggs. I kinda do too. Worms are unappetizing to me. The coworkers have flocks, probably 50+. I did my absolute best to take a pic and I just couldn’t do it as well as I wanted it. I circled what I believe is to be the worm.
Edit:
I saved the egg so we could give it to them to look at it. They seemed pretty defensive saying they sold 24 dozens last week and no one complained.
