The eggs from hens with worms will not be affected by the worms themselves as they live in the digestive system, not the reproductive system. The insides of eggs are also sterile, but make sure the eggs are washed off very well, as worm eggs may be in any chicken dung on the shell.
Obviously, a treatment should be started with the hens ASAP, and the best treatment in most cases is to feed the hens raw garlic. Not only is it effective, but the eggs will still be edible and the hens will be much healthier for it, unlike if you would use a chemical treatment. It's a good practice to feed your chickens garlic even if they are healthy.

Are the eggs you eat from chickens or eggs?
They are from CHICKENS OR HENS because an egg can not produce another egg. (They are hens not chickens.)
Does a hen lay eggs?
Hens lay eggs, the ones you eat.
Do you eat hens or roosters?
we eat the rooster because the hen might have eggs
When hens are setting on their eggs do they leave to eat and drink?
yes
Why do hens produce eggs?
so we can eat em! Because they were not fertilized by a male.
Is it bad for a hen to try and hatch an egg that is not fertilized?
no that is how people eat eggs. we eat eggs that chickens/hens hatch that aren't fertilized.
Are hens herbivores?
No. As with most birds, chicken hens are omnivores. They eat grains and other plant matter, but also eat insects, eggs (if given the opportunity), etc.
Can a hen lay eggs without a rooster and are they safe to eat?
My hens are never left with a cockeral or rooster as I own only hens (except from my chicks) and the eggs are definitely safe! :)
Can you feed chickens their own eggs?
Of course it is safe for you to eat them but on most farms it is not safe for the chicken. Eggs are a good source of protein and most hens like eggs. Eggs get accidentally broken in the nest and will get eaten by the hens but Cannibalistic hens are usually not welcome on a chicken farm as they can eat into the supply of eggs fairly quickly. Most farms will ignore the occasional broken egg being consumed by a flock of hens but any chicken that starts to break and eat eggs is usually invited to Sunday supper.
How safe are eggs laid by hens in barns?
As long as no humans collect them or critters eat them, they are very safe if the hens can set on them as needed to hatch.
What type of breded hens lay eggs?
All hens lay eggs.
How many eggs do hens eat per day?
If the hen eats broken or leaking eggs that is OK but if she is breaking open and eating eggs she should be culled from the flock. This behavior can spread to the rest of the flock and cause major problems. Once the hens recognize the eggs as a sourse of food they will continue, leaving you with no eggs and if you breed hens, with no viable stock for the following spring.
