9 month old hen, Crop Is EMPTY durring the Day!!

Most worms are not seen in droppings without a microscope. The exceptions are large roundworms, and tapeworms which are rare in chickens. If you see the white things in the poop again, take a picture, and notice if they move. While I have seen light feed particles in my chicken’s droppings as well, tapeworm segments can look like moving rice in poop. They are treated differently with praziquantel. I am not saying those are what you are seeing. Here is a good video of tapeworm segments in chicken droppings:

Wow!!! That is creepy! So what I saw was not moving at all! I actually looked at each one probably for like 30 seconds to see if I saw movement but did not.
-yes if I can see it again I will take a photo
 
Well, as I said we can sometimes see specks of feed or other things in the droppings. I do hope that is not tapes that you saw, but just wanted to mention the possibility.
