    What Type of Worms?

    I had a chicken that recently died- while I was doing a post mort I found these worms in her hospital bedding and around her vent. I looked online but couldn’t identify them- do any of you more experienced chicken owners know what type of worms these are and how to protect the rest of my flock?
