Worms in poop?

[The Birb King]

I was candling serama eggs then I saw these weird white strings in the poop. I'm pretty sure it's worms. All the chickens still act fine, but they haven't really been treated for worms before so does anyone know what these are and how to get rid of them?

Anyone?

Hi! I'd look up trying ivermectin! Meaning look up doseage.

Round worms is what you have. Ivermectin is the treatment.

How do I use the ivermectin? I pour it on them right?

I would put it in them through their water. It's worked for me in the past!

I agree those are roundworms. Ivermectin is thought by many vets to have lost some of its effect on worms. I would get either Valbazen suspension or SafeGuard liquid goat wormer or the horse paste. Shake the liquids well. Dosage of Valbazen is 1/2 ml orally and repeat it in 10 days. SafeGuard dosage is 1/4 ml per pound, and given the same way for roundworms only. Give SafeGuard for 5 consecutive days, and it will treat capillary and gapeworms as well.
