In my chicken coop, I have my feeder below my roosting bar, and a lid on top to keep out poop. Every time I fill the feeder, I inspect the poop. This evening, there was a really messy poop on top with bugs in it. It wasnt really watery, it had a lot of organic matter like grass and stuff, but it was really broken up. Crawling around all in it was these little brown bugs, which somewhat resembled worms. They did appear to have legs, and resemble a centipede. They were only about maybe 1/8" long
 
I don't think any bugs inside of a chicken has legs, they were probably just bugs feeding on the droppings. There are some good photos available of what the different worms look like (really gross pictures) so you can know for sure.

Best of luck!
