Hi All, I believe I have a worm problem, but I'm not sure which one. I am adding a photo. My little hen also is sneezing and shaking her head. Just want to add this is my first post, although I have been a dedicated reader for a few years. I've always found good info here without needing to ask a question. Love this forum! Thanks.

Hopefully @casportpony (Kathy) will be around some time and help out (or you could PM her your post) - I'm sure there are other experts out there, just that Kathy sprung to mind.

Thanks, CT, for taking a look. And you read my mind! I was just thinking of sending Kathy a message and asking her to take a look. I'll do that tomorrow if I haven't solved the mystery by then. Heck, maybe it isn't even a worm! It appears hollow and it isn't alive.
 
Hey, you guys might be right! I did throw out a handful of mealworms a few days ago!!! Seems these have been showing up just since then. Thanks for looking. Glad I didn't rush into the worming process.

I was thinking tapeworm, because of the segments. Her droppings are firm, although she did just have a couple of weeks of green watery poo. Hope this photo helps.
