I need to worm my chickens as I found out 1 has worms but I have 2 hens on eggs and I was wondering is it ok to also worm them while they are incubating eggs?

Yep, there is no problem worming incubating hens, other than you might upset them giving them the de-wormer but most handle it ok.

Thats a relief I put the wormer in their water and I wondered if she was to drink in the afternoon if she would refuse to or it may affect her wanting to sit on the egg anymore.

Thank you for that

This maybe a dumb question but if I was to worm the hens weeks before I set the eggs will that mean the chicks that develop will also be wormed?

No such thing as a dumb question in the poultry world. The answer is no its not passed down so worm your chicks at 6 weeks and they will be fine

Glad to help out. Also not worming on hot days you need to wait until its a mild day just thought I would mention that point
