chooksy Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Bleeeeugh! My OH has just come in saying he thinks he's seen a worm in some of the chicken poop I have some Flubenvet on order. Thing I'm worried about is that I gave a box of eggs to each of my neighbours. What should I do?? I can't go round all sheepish asking for them back!!! Will the eggs have worms in?? OH says hat can't happen? Help!!! Freakin out here!!! HELP!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 It's extremely rare to find a worm in an egg so I'd keep quiet if I was you. Afterall, you don't want to put them off eggs for life lol!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I agree with Jools. I hardly think even these large scale producers of eggs are so vigilant on worming as some omleteers are and I've never found a worm in a shop bought egg so I would keep and not worry.

Plum Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I think they have to be pretty heavily infested for that to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Worms infest the digestive tract, not the reproductive tract, so it would be very unlikely that there are worms in the eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Worms in eggs are rare so I wouldn't worry too much. If you are actually seeing worms in poo though it does mean that you have got quite a dose. You may want to worm again in 3-4 weeks to make sure that you clear everything. You can then go on to the standard 3-4 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
