You sure? This is the roundworm life cycle in sheep, but still the infective stage lives in the poop and moves out into the world.... I'd assume eating effected poop would give most things round worms. And I'd think that it would apply to worm larva in chicken poop too...

1. Mature roundworms in small intestine.
2. Adult lays eggs.
3. Eggs in feces.
4. Larvae develop inside eggs.
5a. Dog ingests infective eggs.
5b. In pregnant dog, larvae may pass to fetus. Larvae migrate up trachea, are swallowed, and mature in pup's small intestine.
